The Friday morning fellowship began with singing and prayer, building up to a ministering service in which believers who wanted to be prayed for were ministered to by others.
The teaching highlighted God’s will that all people be saved and come unto a knowledge of the truth, that this is his heart for everyone. It then traced how God provided for the first part of that will by raising Jesus Christ from the dead and making available the gift of the holy spirit in the new birth. The second part of His will requires that we witness to the truth of the resurrection by our words and by our operation of the power we’ve been given. The good news we announce to others is of the more than abundant life available now, as well as the hope of the eternal life that we will have in the future, and the Mystery is held up as the answer to all the division in the world. Paul’s speech before the Roman governor Festus and King Agrippa in Acts 26 is used to show all of these principles in operation.
