*Day 8/90 (Sep 8) portions to read*:
Jesus calls Matthew - Matt.9:9-13, Mark 2:13-17, Luke 5:27-32
The question about fasting - Matt.9:14-17, Mark 2:18-22, Luke 5:33-39
The healing at the pool - John 5:1-9
The Jews' displeasure - John 5:10-18
Jesus' response - John 5:19-23

*A thought*:
Do you know the difference between "power" and "authority"? Imagine a huge transporter truck coming down the Shopping Street. That's power. Then imagine a policeman stepping out, holding up his hand and commanding the huge vehicle to stop. That's authority. And Christ gives that same authority to you and me (see Luke 9:1)
*Week #2 Memory verse*:
James 4:7-8 " _Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and He will come near to you..._"
