At the end of Luke 18 and the beginning of Luke 19, two very powerful encounters occur as Jesus goes through the town of Jericho. First he encounters a blind beggar who was oppressed by the community followed by a crooked tax collector who had been oppressing the community. Through these brief encounters, we see how God responds to the oppressed and the oppressor. On Sunday afternoon at 16:00 we will begin by unfolding Jesus’ encounter with the blind beggar. I know that this scripture will both enrich and challenge you!
Don’t forget about the Global Leadership Summit that will take place in Tartu at Salem Church on November 18 & 19. The following link will give you more information and you might need to run it through Google translator if you can’t read Estonian: http://www.gls.ee/2011/
Remember, the cost is €25 per person if you register before the end of October with Salem Church. I can arrange to do this when we meet on Sunday. If you have questions, let me know. I highly recommend this conference and don’t let the price stand in your way - some funding is available to help cover the cost if needed.
