Sometimes, doing what’s right isn’t easy. After Jesus rose from the dead, he told his followers to share his message with the world—but that put them in danger. The authorities wanted to silence them, and even threw them in jail. But the apostles chose to follow God rather than give in to fear or pressure. This week, we’ll explore what it means to speak the truth with courage, even when it’s risky or unpopular.
Scripture: Acts 5:27-32
27 The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest. 28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.”
29 Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings! 30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead—whom you killed by hanging him on a cross. 31 God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins. 32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
It's that time of year again! Go grab those boxes out of the garage, pull those old medical records out of the closet, let's get shredding! The Asbury Sunday School Class hosts the Shred-it event each year. All proceeds go to support mission work in the community. The truck will be in front of the church building on Saturday, May 3rd, from 9 am to noon. You can drive through the front driveway and we'll unload your car.
Rooted is FUMC Waxahachie's women's ministry geared towards younger women (20s-40s)! We have several events coming up this Spring and we hope to see you there! You can also keep track of what's going on by joining our Facebook Group!
We host a monthly gathering on the first Wednesday of the month during Kids' midweek activities. And, right now, we are collecting RSVPs for Independent Book Store Crawl! If you can join us on May 3rd, send an email to lydia@fumcwaxahachie.org or RSVP on Facebook!
Beginning on April 23rd, Rev. Val Stewart will lead a new Bible study focusing on the many names of Jesus. We will discover Jesus' names and titles that reveal all the ways we can call on him.
