Beginnings are Important

Every story has a beginning. Some may be better than others. For example, "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen" from 1984 by George Orwell. How about Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities? "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." or "Here is a small fact: You are going to die," from The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak. These tell us much about what will come through the author's narrative. There will be twists and turns as their story unfolds, but we know from where we are starting our journey.One of my favorites is, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." by God (Genesis 1:1). This one-of-a-kind statement explains everything that follows. If we understand this truth, everything that follows makes sense in its context. The prologue to the Book of Acts is the same. Sitting within the context of both the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts sits three verses that act as the bridge to the larger context of Luke's investigation, historical documentation, and personal witness of the work and ministry of Jesus.Luke sets up the church's future by continuing where he left things off in his gospel accounts about how the kingdom of God will continue in the absence of its King. The King sends the Holy Spirit will empower His witnesses to be His ambassadors with powerful gifts of the kingdom to take the message of Jesus to all nations. "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. (Philippians 3:20–21) Remember, the quickest way for God to get you where He wants you is for Him to use you where He has you.References:John. 14:12John 21:25John 14:15–18John 16:7–111 Corinthians 15:13–19John 13:1Mark 1:14–15Revelation 11:15-----Call us: 208.524.4747prayer@watersprings.netOnline Giving: https://watersprings.net/give.phpServe at Watersprings: https://watersprings.churchcenter.com/people/forms/8221CCLI Streaming License: 20080252 Size ECCLI Copyright License: 1406906 Size FDISCLAIMER: Closed captioning and/or transcription is being provided solely for the convenience of our viewers.

The library has received about $30,000 in donations even though government officials turned down the request.  Storm will be on the podcast soon to discuss The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak. For more information, find Lisa on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and her website. *The book titles mentioned include affiliate links.
