Scripture is God-breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry the good news of Jesus with us wherever we go.
Test your memory of Acts 13:27–31 by either writing out the full passage on paper or typing it as a note into your phone. Then recite it in full, reflecting on all you have learned in your study of the New Testament.
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

Praying for you Martha, it must be so hard and shocking. I hope you can feel some sort of comfort knowing the Lord is with you and sees you.
It feels like such a scary time for so many of us, but the Lord has got this, and there is an eternal home we will all go to that knows Him. We have to set our eyes on that and not what is around us albeit so hard.
Hope you all have a good day, but continue to share your hurts and sorrows, for this has become so much more than a bible study. We are true sisters for the Lord, in the Lord, and forever with the Lord. Each of you that commented throughout the study has touched us with your wisdom, insight and vulnerability. Blessing to you all.
Father God I pray peace and wisdom over all. Amen
Dear ERB, I so Loved the song, thank you for typing it out. The power of words, so good, life giving when we use them to bless. Thank you for blessing me so much. So much blessing in all the posts here on SRT. I always loved the gospel of John’s defining Jesus as the Word of God, it so touches my soul the first chapter of John. Happy Sunday dear friend. may we all feel His joy overflow no matter what this world brings, we know how mighty is our Father and He is holding us, helping us by His Spirit and by the precious love of Jesus. May we be transparent that others know where our strength comes from. Hugs and love sweet ERB, so glad you are out there, thankful your light and the light of all our sisters here is shining right now.

MARTHA HIX – So very sorry for the sudden passing of your husband. Praying that you and your family feel God’s peace and comfort. He is near and walks with you on this valley.
For all who are struggling through grief – NICOLE NORRIS, MADISON, GRAMSISUE, ASHLEY, TINA – continuing to pray for your journey too.
“Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.
You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
Psalm 30:4-5,11-12
