Bro. James Bell speaks of growing relationships beyond superficial (signified by "Hello") to relationships where we love one another (signified by the willingness to wash one another's feet). 

Bro. Tony Sanchez illustrates Christian love with multiple examples and stories. 

Bro. James Bell. 

Bro. James reads the 16th Psalm, then focuses on verse 6 - “The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.”

Bro. James recalls the song “Bright Anticipation”:

There’s a voice full of sweetness and love,

It is speaking so kindly to me,

“I will lead you to bright realms above,

Where the spirit forever is free”

When I look o’er the past I behold

How his wide arms of mercy held me

Oh, his sweet love and peace are untold

In his favor I’m happy and free.

Bro. James continues the thought of being spiritual from April 21.

Bro. James explores the value of being "spirited". 

Scriptures referenced: Hebrews 11:4, Hebrews 5:8 - 14; Galations 6:1, Romans 8:6, Matthew 5

Bro. James recounts the events of Jesus' crucifixion & resurrection, then focuses on the atonement & healing that Christ earned for us with the stripes he bore. When Jesus thirsted on the cross, it seemed that the soldiers were preparing water in a sponge, but it was vinegar.  Bro. James implores us to not crucify Jesus again in our hearts, but accept his resurrection & triumph over sin. This is the infallible proof that Jesus provides personally to us individually - victory over sin & iniquity in our life. 

Scriptures referenced: Acts 1, Isaiah 53, Romans 8:11

Bro. Curtis Williams speaks of three woeful situations for souls to be in when the Lord returns: 

1) Oblivious to God (Matthew 22:1 - 14)

2) Deceived by the Devil (Matthew 7:21 - 23)

3) Tardy (Luke 13:23 - 27)

Bro. Curtis also reminds us of the power of unity & shared spiritual experiences.

[Description to be added]

Bro. James encourages us to use God's tools to evaluate our lives instead of our own minds. King Saul and King David each experienced failures when they used their own minds to justify their actions. It is dangerous to use "introspection", defined as using our mind to evaluate our actions, rather than using God's Word to examine ourselves.
