STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:       Mark 8:32          
“And he said this plainly.  And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.” Anytime we sin we are acting like Peter: thinking we know better than the Lord.  But as Jesus says, such acts stem from Satan.  So let us repent: let us trust our Lord Jesus and follow Him.  For certainly He has earned our trust with His gracious sacrifice for us.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
