     Nuggets for the Week
      1. Just like our cars must have regular tune-ups and wheel alginments, so must our spiritual lives or walks with the Lord
      2. Not that it's about keeping the laws but the work of keeping the relationship alive and or the promises of God alive despite the circumstances around us.
      3. There was an intentional reason why Jesus appeared to each group of people but what stood out the most was Thomas' and Peter's encounters

      Reflections
      • Thomas had doubt in His heart and Peter had denial.  My question is which one are you or which situation resonates with you that Jesus needs to restore?
      • Will you feed my sheep or fulfill the purpose I have destined for your life?

       Key Takeaway for the Body
      • Jesus came to restore truth, hope, and purpose
      • My promises will be fulfilled in your life - they are in me.
