For morning Light
I humbly thank you
And offer my praise to you
Open my heart and my mind
Give me your presence
In my life today
Song “There is a hope”
Prayer for Gods help
Loving God
Come into my confused and troubled life
Send your Spirit
To work in me
Realign me
So that I may know
You in our life
Your joy, your peace, your Shalom
The Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Reading Acts 25
16 “I told them that it is not the Roman custom to hand over anyone before they have faced their accusers and have had an opportunity to defend themselves against the charges.17 When they came here with me, I did not delay the case, but convened the court the next day and ordered the man to be brought in. 18 When his accusers got up to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected. 19 Instead, they had some points of dispute with him about their own religion and about a dead man named Jesus who Paul claimed was alive. 20 I was at a loss how to investigate such matters; so I asked if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem and stand trial there on these charges. 21 But when Paul made his appeal to be held over for the Emperor’s decision, I ordered him held until I could send him to Caesar.”
22 Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear this man myself.”
He replied, “Tomorrow you will hear him.”

This is the day that God has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
I will not offer to God

閱讀使徒行傳25
16“我告訴他們，在任何人面對指控者並有機會為自己辯護之前，移交任何人不是羅馬的習俗。17當他們和我一起來時，我沒有拖延訴訟，但第二天召集法院，命令該男子被帶入法庭。18當他的控告者發言時，他們沒有指控他犯有我所預期的任何犯罪。 19相反，他們與保羅就自己的宗教信仰和保羅稱活著的死者耶穌有一些爭議。20我不知如何調查這些事情；所以我問他是否願意去耶路撒冷接受這些指控。 21但是當保羅提出上訴以保留皇帝的決定時，我下令將他關押，直到我可以把他送到凱撒為止。”
22亞基帕對費斯都說：“我想親自聽到這個人。”
他回答說：“明天您將聽到他的聲音。”
