I know I'm running a little bit behind. Please be patient. There's been too many serious problems that have hindered my progress. But I'm back and here we go!
Today's Scripture is found in Luke 9:37-62. I have to say that this portion is extremely funny. It starts with the disciples encountering a man whose son had an evil spirit. The man begged the disciples for help to cast out the demon. But the disciples could not do anything to help. Finally, Jesus came down from the mountain and He took care of the problem immediately. The disciples and everyone around them was shocked.
Now here's the funny part: The disciples could not cast out a demon and then they started to argue about who was the greatest. But Jesus taught them that it's not who can do the greatest things that becomes the greatest. Jesus said, "For he who is least among you all — he is the greatest."
Today I've learned that greatness is not walking close to Jesus. Greatness is not in casting out demons. Greatness is not even doing great things. On the contrary, according to God, greatness is becoming the least. Greatness is welcoming those who are least in our world. So, do you want greatness? Get ready to become the least!

Welcome back Pastor, I think this is another hard lesson to learn. Sometimes we like to think we are something but in the real world we aren't much. In God's world we are always important but we shouldn't ack like it.
Pastor, Eunice & Joseph this is a hard time but know that our GOD is always there just let him in & let him help. XOXOXO Spencer's
