Assembly of God
Hands are wonderful things, an amazing collection of bone, muscle, tissue and nerves, capable of both extraordinary kindness and heart-wrenching evil. They can produce works of breathtaking beauty and devastating destruction. The difference in the outcome is the intent of the one attached to those hands.
God instructed the prophet Jeremiah to go to the potter’s house and watch the craftsman at work. What he observed about the craftsman’s hands and then described in Jeremiah 18:1-6 is the basis for part 1 of a two-part series titled, “What Kind of Hands Do You Have?” that Pastor Chuck Franco will begin Sunday, Jan. 21. This question should motivate Christians to reflect on those marvelous instruments at the end of their arms and the opportunity for blessing or cursing with them.
The Wednesday Bible study will go through session five of “The Rock, The Road and The Rabbi” series. Students have learned about the symbolism of specific words and numbers used in scripture that lend layers of meaning to familiar passages. This week, follow Jesus through the last days of his life as the video, titled “Jerusalem: Crucifixion and Resurrection,” takes learners into the garden, the courtyard, the cell, the hill of crucifixion, and finally the tomb of resurrection.
