Daily Devotions - Week of May 29th

About This Sermon Series 

PICTURE IT

The first photograph was taken almost 200 years ago, in 1826. Since then, the art of photography has changed significantly. Look at your smartphone, and you'll find a host of settings and filters which can make even the most amateur photog-rapher look like a pro! 

The book of Acts is full of beautiful "pictures" of the early church and, despite the nearly 2,000 years of a changing world, there's still much we can learn from its pages on how to be the church today. 

As we have just heard details of the Ministry Plan last week, this three-week series looks to key snapshots of the early church in mission as found in Acts to discover how we are part of that bigger picture of Christ's mission today. 

What we find is a church constantly at work to bring Christ’s mission in focus. We find a mission in panorama as the call to witness widens further and further ("...to the ends of the earth"). And, we also find a church quickly diversified at Pen-tecost—like adding "Technicolor" to an old photo. Join us for this series, "Picture It," as we look at "Snapshots of the Church in Mission" all around us. 

We invite you to join us each week, too! 

Daily devotional books like this one will be provided each week in an effort to connect the Sunday messages with your daily life. The devotions have all been written by either lay members or Ministry Staff of Holy Trinity. 

The Sunday devotion reviews the sermon from that day. The rest of the week offers daily Scripture passages and a few thoughts to consider. And, if you miss a Sunday, you can always find our services and sermons online at holytrinityedmond.org/sermons. You can also find these devotions in podcast form!

Here are the weekly themes for the series: 

May 22: Mission in Focus | Acts 1:1-11 

May 29: Mission in Panorama | Acts 8:3-25 

June 5: Mission in Technicolor | Acts 2:1-21
