Stagione 7
Focus on Act 1: 1-11 and ask yourself these questions: Questions for Reflection: · Am I standing still in places where God has already called me to move? · What have I seen or experienced in my faith journey that I have yet to respond to? · What keeps me looking up, rather than looking around?
Today is a reminder that Great is God's faithfulness.

John 12: 31-32 "Now is the judgement of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself" We sit with the understanding that evil, suffering and the Empire will not win. That when we seek the Lord and draw out and near to Jesus we will fins a new way of being.
