In Israel..(5th Dec.Day 3/10)

Sea Of Galilee The Sea of Galilee is the catchment basin for the Jordan River and is fed primarily by the melting snow of Mount Hermon in the north. Small streams also flow down from the surrounding mountains. It is 685 feets below sea level. Here Jesus rebuked the winds and sea, walked on water (Mark 6:45-52) and created a miracle of 'boat-sinking, net-breaking' catch(Luke5:3-10). Peter also walked on water until he took his eyes off Jesus and sink because of the storms (Matthew 14:28-32) On a boat, quite a symbolic sight with 2 flags side by side, given Singapore and Israel's relatively similar position and situation. Sea gulls flying to get bits of bread from us. Mount of Beatitudes Jesus delivered the famous sermon (Matt 5,6 and 7) on the Mount.

T his term "Saint" was first used in the NT when Annaias said Paul did many things evil things to the Saints in Jerusalem Acts 9:13(as when he put the saints in prison and put many to death Acts 26:10) The word Saint shows ones position in Christ, the word disciple shows one is a learner.

Worthy Of Reading

Extracted from 'Man Of Valor', Richard Exley. 'Books will minister to you in ways nothing else can. They will introduce you to people you will never meet any other way. They will take you to places to which you will never travel. They will enlarge your thinking and expand your vision. They will renew your mind and refresh your soul. In truth, reading a book by an author whose heart and mind are steeped in God's eternal truth is like sitting at the feet of a truly wise man. His writings are a foundation of life (Porverbs 13:14)
