I really need to get to work on those devotions for this weekend. At the moment I am thinking of something rougly like this:
Persecution of Jesus and His response
Persecution of early Christians and their response (or advised responses from Paul)
Persecution of Christians today - How will we respond?
I am focusing in on persecution, working on a theme we are building by playing Romans and Christians. I need to work in something about the purpose of the suffering we endure when persecuted. Maybe that fits in with the advised responses from Paul to the early Christians.
