MESSAGE NOTES
Loving the 239 | Part 1 | October 17-18, 2015
A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity— all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved. Acts 2:43-47 (NLT) How can I love the people in the 239? 1. ___________ the people in the 239 as Jesus _____________ them. But as (Jesus) came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead… Luke 19:41a (NLT)
2. ___________________________________________ the people in the 239 as Jesus __________________________________________________ them. …he began to weep. Luke 19:41b (NLT)
3. ________________ the people in the 239 as Jesus ___________________ them. “How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes. Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side. They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not recognize it when God visited you.” Luke 19:42-44 (NLT)
