Scripture is God breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry the good news of Jesus with us wherever we go.
This week we will continue memorizing Paul’s sermon in Acts 13 by adding verse 29. Start by saying what you’ve already memorized out loud. Then write down the verse and underline each verb in verse 29. As you work on memorizing verse 29, try emphasizing the verbs as you repeat the verse aloud.
27 Since the residents of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize him or the sayings of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, they have fulfilled their words by condemning him. 28 Though they found no grounds for the death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him killed. 29 When they had carried out all that had been written about him, they took him down from the tree and put him in a tomb. 30 But God raised him from the dead, 31 and he appeared for many days to those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.
—Acts 13:27–31

Hello, new here! Attempting you create new healthy habits now that summer is winding down and my children will be going back to school. I have spent the last 10 years basically just surviving in motherhood so I haven’t had much time to devote to the Lord and my relationship with him. Reading through the comments I see so much support and community and I want to be a part of it!
Hello Rocky. ❤️ Welcome to this community. You will be blessed reading the devotional and God’s word with this group. The women here are sincere about their relationship with Jesus and their desire to pray for others who are in need.
Welcome, Rocky! Thus is a blessed place to be.
“When they had done all that the prophecies said about him, they took him down from the cross and placed him in a tomb.”- NLT
(Biblegateway verse of the day)- great focal verse to as we head off to worship today!:
Janes 1:22 NLT
But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.

Chris Tomlin – O Lord You’re Beautiful (Lyric Video)
Lyrics:
Oh Lord, You’re beautiful
Your face is all I seek
And when Your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me
I wanna take Your word
And shine it all around
First tell me just to live Lord
And when I’m doing well
Help me to never seek a crown for my reward
It’s giving glory to You
Oh Lord, please light the fire (light the fire)
That once burned bright and clear
Replace the lamp of my first love
That burns with Holy fear
And when I’m doing well
Help me to never seek a crown for my reward
It’s giving glory to You
.
Love, hugs, and prayers! ❤
Thinking back to my comment a few weeks ago on this passage. We too, are witnesses and as we gather in church, showing up is a way we do that. Its being in the place where we hear teaching of the Word, where we worship, build community and we serve. We have the opportunity to be ones to bring hope. Lets not miss that.
Thank you once again for such words of encouragement and praying for me and my MIL. Appreciate you all so much
Sunday Blessing She’s.❤️✝️
“They had carried out all that had been written about him…”
.
God’s plans were carried out through His enemies. Jesus’ unjust trial and death were the means for my pardon (redemption).
.
Brings to mind the third verse of “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing”
O to grace how great a debtor
daily I’m constrained to be!
Let that grace now, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here’s my heart; O take and seal it;
seal it for thy courts above.

You just can’t fathom how the Bible was written by 40 different authors in 66 books, across different continents and time spans of over centuries…Yet, yet, it ALL tells one story! A God, his creation, his people, a hope, a mercy, a grace. Things foretold, that came to pass, and are coming forth. A God that speaks to us in his word, through songs, nature, other people, and the Spirit. That knew we fail, yet with Jesus, would get it right! Not by us, but by him! It’s just unexplainable yet makes perfect sense.
When you get it you get it as they say. I know, that I know, that I know! For I was the worst of them (a sinner), and now I am His! Saved and redeemed, therefore I am a servant to him for the rest of my day!
Jesus have it all!! Be my center. I surrender my life for the life you have for me.
Happy Sunday She’s!
Whatever is going on today…little did I know 5 weeks ago it would be the most traumatic day of my life…but God, he held me through it, and he is holding you today as well. Know it, because it’s truth. Hugs to you all.
Amen
