Monday, November 10 – Acts 19:1-10

Because of how quickly we can read through Acts, we imagine that Paul is running from place to place and never in one place for a long time. We think of Paul hosting revival services over a weekend and moving on. That is not what happens. As we read in Acts 19:10, he stayed in Ephesus for two years. That’s not a revival service with an evangelist. That’s a church with a pastor. Paul truly had a pastoral relationship with many of the churches he started, especially in Ephesus.


It takes time to develop a community. As one of our core values, community does not mean Gonzales. Instead, community means our time together, our fellowship, our hospitality with one another. And on Sunday, we get the opportunity to have a community together at our annual Thanksgiving lunch. If we do not take the time to enjoy one another’s company, we can’t build the community we need to have as a church. I hope that you plan to eat and fellowship with one another this coming Sunday.
