More from Olivet
World Olivet Assembly churches across the world held Easter retreats over the past weekend, commemorating the atoning death of Jesus Christ on the cross on Good Friday and his resurrection to life on the third day, Easter Sunday. With worship services, Bible lectures, prayer and praise times and fellowship, congregations marked Easter reflecting on the path of the cross that Jesus took in complete obedience until death (Philippians 2:5-11), so that he could take the curse of sin away from us (Galatians 3:13) and bring us everlasting life (Romans 5).
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) These are the last words of Jesus as recorded by Luke at the beginning of the book of Acts. And these words also highlight the importance of studying the early church and its leaders, especially the Apostle Peter and the Apostle Paul.
World Olivet Assembly (WOA) churches around the world are observing the beginning of the Lent Season today on Ash Wednesday, with a day of prayer and fasting and by holding a special Wednesday Service. The Lent period, which lasts for 40 days (excluding Sundays) up to Good Friday has been part of the annual church calendar since the early centuries of church history and offers followers of Jesus Christ an opportunity to reflect more deeply on the path of the cross.
World Olivet Assembly churches around the world greeted the New Year by offering a New Year's service at midnight, giving thanks for 2022 and offering the first moment of 2023 to the Lord.
Devotional
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
