Hello,

It’s a joyous day. Today we are going to celebrate a friend who has spent 30 years in ministry at one of our local churches. We have been friends for years and will be happy to celebrate his years in service. May God continue to bless you Pastor Bob Jacoby.

We are going spend this week on earthly government leaders in the 1st century. The early church often had dealings with the local governments so quite a few of them are in the Bible. It’s a part of the Bible not often covered.
