Wednesday Morning Devotion 10.9.24

Today for our Monday devotion from Bethany ARP we looked at Ezra 7:11-26 and heard a word about Artaxerxes and how God can use a righteous pagan king to bless His church as a Foster Father and Nursing Mother.

Today we looked at 1 Corinthians 4:1-5. In this morning’s passage Paul gives definition to the work of the pastor and some of the ways the church can encourage their ministers in their labors of preaching, prayer, and the sacraments.

For our Monday devotion from Bethany ARP we looked at 1 Cor. 16:1-4. The Apostle encourages believers to remember their brothers in need in Jerusalem and sets some standards on when the church meets for worship in the new covenant age.

Today for our “What’s That Word” Wednesday devotion from Bethany ARP we looked at 2 Kings 6:24-31 and a question which came in about one of the more horrific scenes in the Old Testament involving baby cannibalism.

Today in our “What’s That Word” Wednesday devotion from Bethany ARP we looked at Acts 13 and what ordination is, what it does communicate, what it does not do, and why it is important in the life of the church.

After a couple week break Bethany ARP is back with our Monday devotion as we begin a series in Ezra and Nehemiah with Ezra 1:1-4. God in His grace provides a honorable pagan king to protect and provide for His people.
