when you were dead through the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience. Among these we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of body and mind, and so we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 2: 1-7)
Dear Family,
I wanted to wish you well and pray the Lord's blessings on you; and to take this opportunity to again share with you the great faith-blessing opportunity that is coming in September for us to go to Greece and Walk in the Footsteps of Paul the Apostle. Paul, who wrote the above passage to the church in Ephesus, a place we will visit, was the world's greatest evangelist. He boldly took the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all the world but died a martyr's death before he accomplished all he wanted. He's an amazing man in whose amazing steps we hope to walk. We will also visit the Island of Patmos, where John wrote the Book of Revelation, and the last earthly home of Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
I share the link which is the online brochure of this tour. It's below, click on it and find out more details. And, if you have any questions or would like a registration form, please email me at eradiovalverde@gmail.com. Or you may call me on my cell: 830-433-2968.
I pray you enjoy a wonderful weekend and that you make plans to go and hear Pastor Matt's awesome sermon for tomorrow at 8:30 am and 10:45! Pray for him and for each other.
I plan on seeing you all after the called General Conference of our church. Please pray for me as I am one of the clergy delegates.
Blessings,
Pastor Eradio
