Feud within the Family
Opposition from Relatives — For the sake of the will of God, Jesus preached and healed many, not even caring about eating; his family could not help but express dismay at him. (v.20)
Opposition from the Teachers — In his response to the teachers’ slander, Jesus conceals a message about the Gospel – that all sins can be forgiven. (v.28)
Scripture of the Day (NT): Mark 3:20-35

* News from Seattle – Rita’s/吳小萍 husband Lawrence/朱家舜 has passed away. A letter from the family:
Your prayers have helped Lawrence’s family… Rita and their daughters are now doing fine emotionally… with the sudden loss, there’s inevitably a lot of ripples running through the family, but we ask that the bro. & sis. do not ask too much about the accident.
There are 4 prayer requests. (1) For God’s comfort and wisdom; (2) To ask their daughters to return to the church to seek God; (3) To get a guide dog as soon as possible, to return life to normal; (4) To find sisters to pick Rita up for Bible study. Thank you again for the love and concern, may the Lord return you the favour – Rita Wu; Paul Wu. (Note: Rita has vision problems, so she has applied for a guide dog to help out in her daily life, please intercede in prayer for this.)
