The poetic and prophetic books of the Old Testament are inserted in the historical books at the point in the narrative where they are thought to have been written. Likewise, the Epistles of the New Testament are inserted in the narrative of the Book of Acts. The chronological order used here is agreeable to most conservative Bible scholars.

Acts 13:2 – The Holy Spirit, A Person (Wayne Jackson | Christian Courier)
This passage shows the Holy Spirit is a divine Person. The Spirit said, “Separate me Barnabas and Saul…”
The word me (moi) shows personality.
Some groups deny this, but Scripture affirms it.
Cross-references: John 14:26; Acts 10:19–20; 15:28; 16:6.

**📖 SERMON SUMMARY by Sam Eugenio
THE RINGS OF THE LORD (Matthew 20:22; Luke 6:12–13; James 4:8)**
Overview
Jesus had rings of relationship—levels of closeness. Every believer is somewhere, and Jesus invites us closer.
The Crowds – Watching & Listening
• Curious observers
• Impressed but loosely committed
The Five Thousand – Feeding & Receiving
• Followed Jesus for miracles
• Loved the gifts, not the Giver
The Seventy – Serving & Working
• Joined ministry
• Reminder: Rejoice your names are in heaven.
The Twelve – Following & Surrendering
• Left everything
• Discipleship requires sacrifice
The Three – Glory & Suffering
• Peter, James, John
• Saw glory and pain
The One – Deepest Intimacy
• John, the beloved
• Closest relationship
Invitation
Jesus calls us closer—not to stay in the crowd, but to know His heart.
“Come near to God, and He will come near to you.” — James 4:8
Reflection Questions:
• Where am I—Crowd? Five Thousand? Seventy? Twelve? Three? One?
• Am I moving closer?
• What step is Jesus asking me to take?

Sermon: “Was Blind But Now I See…” — Sam Eugenio
Text: John 9
Reading: Isaiah 42:5–7
Theme: Jesus restores both physical and spiritual sight.
Outline:
-
Jesus Saw What Others Missed — compassion beyond appearances.
-
The Wrong Question — focus on faith, not blame.
-
The Right Perspective — pain as a platform for God’s glory.
-
The Miracle of Obedience — healing through faith in action.
-
Seeing with New Eyes — transformed vision through Christ.
Conclusion:
“I once was blind, but now I see.”
Jesus still opens eyes today—physically, spiritually, and emotionally.

Text: Esther 4:10–16
Have you ever wondered why you are where you are right now?
In Esther 4:10–16, Esther faces a defining choice—remain silent or step forward in faith. Mordecai reminds her:
“Who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”
God’s placement is intentional. Like Esther, we may feel fearful or unqualified, but God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things through obedience and faith. When Esther said, “If I perish, I perish,” she chose courage over comfort, faith over fear.
You are not an accident—step into your moment for such a time as this.
LIFE STRUGGLES (May 17, 2009)
A man once watched an emperor moth struggling to emerge from its cocoon. Wanting to help, he cut the cocoon open—but the moth emerged weak, with swollen body and shriveled wings, unable to fly.
The struggle was necessary for the moth’s strength and freedom.
Lesson: Without struggles, we would never grow strong.
Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for regrets, and remember—there is power in the struggle.

Daily Bible Reading Schedule
This schedule does not follow the order in which the books appear in the Bible but arranges them chronologically. The poetic and prophetic books of the Old Testament are inserted into the historical narrative at the point they were likely written. Likewise, the Epistles of the New Testament are inserted within Acts. The order is widely accepted among conservative Bible scholars. (Taken from the Gospel Gazette website.)

Article: Do Angels Minister to Christians Today?
By Wayne Jackson | Christian Courier
“Are they not ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?” — Hebrews 1:14
The passage affirms that angels are ministering spirits sent by God to serve believers. The Greek form implies an affirmative answer—yes, angels minister to God’s people.
They are continually sent forth by God to act according to His divine will, serving those who will inherit salvation. Though the age of miracles has ceased, God may still use angels through providential means to accomplish His purposes.
There’s no evidence that angels appear visibly today as they did in ancient times (e.g., Acts 10). Their work now seems to function invisibly within God’s providence.
