    Start with Job and then talk about how Satan wants to use pain from John 11 with the account of the raising of Lazarus (Adapted from a book by Joe Beam called "Seeing the Unseen")

    In his letter to the Corinthians from Ephesus, Paul expresses his desire to reunite with the Corinthian converts and spend significant time with them. However, he acknowledges that he must wait until God completes His work in Ephesus, where a great and effective opportunity has been opened for him. ...read more
