“Do It for The Lord and Others”
Acts 9:10-17
Luke 2:52 reads, “And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” (NIV) This verse records who was prioritized by the Master while he was on earth. A major goal of every Christian should be to live in harmony with God and people. Failure to do both will always jeopardize one’s blessings in this world and rewards in heaven. This lesson is designed to share how others can benefit when you make adjustments for the Lord.
