Three reflective questions to take home with you:

1- As an individual follower of Jesus, what impresses you most about the people in this church; what stands out to you?

2- What do you think it was that this church did to sustain itself through the challenges of their day and, therefore, be used by God in such a way?

3- Do you think that Jesus still cares enough for people, the lost, to quicken your heart and my heart to do the same?
