*A thought*:
Do you know the difference between "power" and "authority"? Imagine a huge transporter truck coming down the Shopping Street. That's power. Then imagine a policeman stepping out, holding up his hand and commanding the huge vehicle to stop. That's authority. And Christ gives that same authority to you and me (see Luke 9:1)
*Week #41 Memory Verse*:
James 4:7-8
" Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and He will come near to you..."
