Exploring The Holy Scriptures with Rev Dr David Wright

Unity in Diversity

We read, in Acts 2, tongues of fire descend, the great wind comes, and the disciples receive the Holy Spirit.  At this sound, each one of the gathered crowd heard the disciples speaking in their own language. Luke goes to great lengths to list all these different people and  places ....  So what ??? Send me a text if you wish :) [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2545528/fan_mail/new]

Connection changes everything !

In John 17:1–11 we overhear Jesus praying. Not preaching. Not teaching the crowds. Not debating opponents … He prays.

Which Voice ?

Messages warning us about “scams” seem to be everywhere these days. Scam websites. Scam emails. Scam text messages. Scam phone calls. Unfortunately people are still falling prey to these crimes. A few days ago I read about a man in Australia who had unknowingly clicked on a link in an email he received following a phone call that he thought was from his bank. The call sounded real. The email looked real. It all appeared so trustworthy, but it was a thief - quiet, convincing, destructive, and his bank account was emptied.
