Midweek Meeting for this Week September 30-October 6 2024 (United States)

Again we want to welcome everyone to our midweek meeting it's such a joy to be in attendance and to worship Jehovah together looking forward to a fine meeting of an interchange of encouragement how is it going to start well to begin the meeting we'll have a beautiful talk about trusting in Jehovah especially when it comes to life decisions and that talk is going to be given by Brent Ellison in our Treasures From God's word portion of the meeting and after that we'll get to listen to each other talk about our G that we found in

Psalms 90 and 91 a beautiful Psalm a prayer of Moses lots of gems to be uh discovered and shared together so we're looking forward to your comments especially then of course moving on to our field Ministry portion of the the meeting we're getting to listen to two very interesting conversations really focusing around our informal Ministry in Fact one of them will even be done without the use of mentioning the Bible in an informal setting so we'll be looking looking forward to seeing how that's accomplished and then and moving on to our living as Christians portion

of the meeting a beautiful video on Jehova's view of time and how that can affect our relationship with him of course we have our organizational accomplishments for September we're looking forward to that being delivered By brother rabinowski and then finally uh concluding with our congregation Bible study moving into a new chapter of our bearing thorough witness book really talking about stepping over into Macedonia and the events associated with that part of act so a truly exciting meeting to look forward to and to begin we'll have uh brother Brent Ellison give us the the part to

lengthen your life trust in Jehovah often times when you're young Very young you start to develop these fears fears of being in your bedroom at night and you're hearing sounds you don't recognize fears of walking into the forest and what could be on the other side of that tree or maybe it's the fear of your first day of school and not knowing exactly what to expect but about that time some older kids usually start telling you stories of monsters and so your Brain draws the conclusion that the noises that you're hearing in your bedroom are

the monsters but after some time goes by you start to outgrow those and your fears diminish to a degree but one of those monsters never goes away a matter of fact he has a ton of patience he waits for just the right opportunity our first scripture tonight in our book uh Psalm chapter 90 in verse 10 helps us to see when this monster we can always count on him coming out about this time let's look at that scripture Psalm chapter 90 and verse 10 and it says the span of our life is 70 years or

80 if one is especially strong but they are filled with trouble and sorrow the span of man's life is 70 or maybe 80 years when you start getting close to that age It's natural to start having some of those fears fearing that monster you know he's getting close and so we try to hide some of those fears or mask them uh we start dying our hair we want to look young uh we order wrinkle cream maybe small amount to begin with but then we start getting it by the case as time goes by because we

fear that monster we want to stay young but no matter how hard we try that monster always wins he has Since the beginning of time we can't outrun him but one individual can notice in our second verse in Psalm chap 90:2 on why we can trust in Jehovah to help us avoid that monster Psalm 90:2 before the mountains were born or you brought forth the Earth and their productive land from Everlasting to Everlasting you are God now my brain has a hard time Wrapping itself around that Jehovah never had a beginning and he never is

going to have an end from Everlasting to Everlasting now just because I have a hard time comprehending that it doesn't mean it isn't true and so that's where trust trust in Jehovah comes into play I trust that he's telling me the truth here because I have seen so much Evidence in other areas of my life he he never lies I believe that we can trust in that but Satan knows that we're trying to put our trust in Jehovah also and so what does he do he's working super hard to try to get us to compromise

that trust try to give in in certain areas uh no matter how hard we try sometimes he's always there so it's normal for us to have that Fear of death because we don't want to die Satan exploits that but notice our picture here because he's never like right out in the open with that he's he's tricky about this thing and we see in our picture now we notice a younger guy we're going to come back to that part but let's focus for a moment on what time is it do you see what time it is

10:37 p.m. everybody's Home sleeping in bed now it's just him and the doctor and there's there's the opportunity Satan wants he's been waiting for that all it takes little scribble of the pen that's all it takes if you've ever been in that situation or if you have a friend that's in that situation try to zoom out if you can for a moment look at the bigger picture of what's truly going on Here in this picture uh notice if you open your Bibles to Job chapter 2 verse 4 and 5 and you'll find that if you're

following along in the material in that Watchtower article underneath the picture Job chapter 2 verse 4 and 5 this is what's really going on but Satan answered Jehovah skin for skin a man will give everything that he has for his life but for a change stretch out your hand and strike his bone and flesh and he will surely curse you to your Face Satan's challenge to Jehovah skin for skin he'll curse you that's what he's trying to accomplish but what has helped this young man to be successful against that challenge now we look at the

young man in the picture again and right away this guy's not 70 or 80 so we always refer to that like a tragedy when somebody young has to go through that that's a tragedy but let's for a moment think About what we don't see maybe in the picture on how he's able to have his hand up and say hey no thanks yeah we don't see maybe he just had a visit from a kind friend in the congregation that gave him some encouragement or maybe he just had a visit from his group overseer who gave him

some encouraging words and told him exactly what he needed to hear at that moment or maybe he had a visit from the Hlc the hospital of the aison committee and those Brothers shared some scriptures with him and gave him what he needed at that time or maybe he was thinking about different Bible accounts in the past that gave him the courage to stand up to that one of those accounts is in our information this evening uh if you turn to Psalm chapter 21 and verse 4 notice what this account can do for us says he

Asked you for life you gave it to him a long life forever and ever these words apply to King David he died a long long time ago for these words to come true there has to be a resurrection We Trust trust in that to extend our life we trust that there could be a resurrection of people so what have we learned life in this system of things 70 or 80 years at best filled with trouble That's why we see young individuals having to face that as well Jehovah is the source of Eternity only he can

outrun that monster for us and extend our life lengthen our days his adversary trying hard to get us to compromise even a few years in this system of things for eternity in a paradise Earth now normally we would think there's no way I'm going to compromise and do that but why is that a Challenge sometimes because the fear of death is real and so that's why information like this is super nice for us to think about so that we can make the right decision when that time comes for us but notice this verse we use

it a lot uh it's also in that Watchtower article in our information the very last one John 3:16 uh this helps us to see what a high price Jehovah paid so that he can have The opportunity to extend your life notice that verse for God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten son so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life to lengthen our days our life we have to trust in Jehovah May each of us stay loyal encourage one another to never compromise and continue

to wait patiently for that day when Jehovah Extends our life to Eternity thank you brother Ellison for that very heartfelt delivery really helped us appreciate that point very thoroughly thank you so much moving on to our spiritual gems for this evening is going to be handled by brother James Medina and he'll cheer the this part for your friends comments we truly look forward to your jams tonight as already highlighted Psalms 9091 packed with some beautiful expression let's get started uh Psalms 9111 after reviewing that scripture what Balan view should we have of angelic help all

right um sister fiser please so we have no doubt that angels are active in helping us spiritually they we may even have a personal experience but in this verse it isn't saying that we each have a personal Guardian Ang With some type of special protection yes and uh sister laugh Danny I really appreciated um the point in that article that said um we can't say to what extent um God uses uh the angels in helping individuals nevertheless we cannot go wrong by thanking the almighty for whatever support he may have provided just thank say thank

you very good thank you sister L Danny uh sister Turner we just read that scripture in job where Satan brought up the accusation against against uh job and every man so this is why Jehovah can't directly interfere with what happens good all right let's get right into our next question and open this up what spiritual gem from this week's Bible reading would you like to share uh let's uh go um brother um Yes um I like the Scripture it was um 91 vers uh 15 it said there he will call on me and I will

answer him I will be with him in distress I will rescue him and glorify him that scripture reassures us that whenever we're facing a trial or going through something Jehovah will always be with us and our first thought may not be that he's helping us through it the whole way but once we remind ourselves of that it makes it so much easier to cope with it very good thank You uh let's go to zoom and uh is that brother Turner so in uh 914 it talks about Jehovah's protection where it says his faithfulness will be

like a large shield and a protective wall I thought there's another verse that uses that phrase It's Proverbs 1811 says the wealth of the rich is his fortified City it is like a protective wall in his imagination so we have the contrast of How Jehovah cares for us he's absolutely reliable a real protective W unlike wealth very nice and uh sister St Hill please Psalm 90:12 reads teach us how to count our days so that we may acquire a heart of wisdom the 2005 Watchtower said Moses in this prayer was lamenting the shortness of life

he viewed each day as a precious gift by bringing a heart of wisdom or exercising wisdom so that our life is not wasted but is spent in a way That pleases Jehovah this requires that we set spiritual priorities and use our time wisely then we have no regrets but are happy with our life since we are focused on Jehovah and our spiritual Pursuits thank you uh sister St Hill beautiful and right here uh Titus right behind right there and 90 verse 8 teaches us that Jehovah sees everything including what is done in secret so if

we're practicing sin in secret it is damaging our Relationship with Jehovah and will start to show but you can conquer your weaknesses by asking Jehovah for forgiveness turning away and accepting loving help from the elders and most likely you will come out stronger thank you very nice let's go back to zoom and uh sister locks Linda locks please you're not unmuted sister locks I have chosen uh 912 I will stay I will say to Jehovah you are my refuge and my stronghold my God in whom I trust this reminds me of our Watchtower lesson a

few weeks ago about Jehovah being a rock and a refuge thank you sister locks we enjoyed that and uh right here yes chapter 90: 10 um if we're fortunate enough to live to 80 that's only 29,000 days and if someone told you you have just 365 days left or one more day how much differently would you spend that Time it's a sobering thought for us because the psalmist is encouraging us to use today to use to do our best to serve Jehovah treat others properly and endure trials and in doing this Jehova will be able

to look back on the span of our days and say not in terms of years but our devotion to him that one was especially strong very nice thank you and uh Kyle there's a beautiful depth the meeting at 9114 when he says I will protect him Because he knows my name we know that uh Jehovah's name is not a password to our having his favor or protection but as the joined articles and other scriptures it's that relationship that we build with Jehovah that's our crack or our stronghold and that's the our way into that strong

tower very nice and uh brother bogas like 9015 can give us strength when we Face situations where we might not see the way out because it says that Jehovah Can help us by giving us as much in return blessings as we have experienced in Calamity so whether we see an end to our trials and tribulations now or it has to wait until the new system we can be confident that Jehovah is going to bless us all the way to where we're equal and then continue blessing us for eternity until we have no more want very

nice and uh sister colbrook please and Psalm 913 and4 it speaks of Satan as the bird catcher who's out to Get us but if we stick close to Jehovah like those chicks stay close to the mother and quickly run to her wings when danger threatens if we stay close to Jehovah and respond quickly to direction that we receive then we too can be assured of Jehovah's protective care very nice and uh brother roboski uh some 90 verse one talks about Jehovah being a Dwelling Place dwelling place is a place of residence where we live so

this scripture is so deep Because you you can think about okay how do I beautify dwelling place while I furnish I take care of it and so forth so we can beautify Jehovah by the way we take care of the things spiritual things and and how we take care of the things that he asked of us on the other hand uh you know a lot of people this time lost their houses due to the storm but that's just a building it's tragic but it's a building but they will never lose Jehovah as their Dwelling Place

uh let's hear from Sister too please I appreciated how in verses 9 10 and 14 of chapter 21 Jehovah promises to protect those who love him and trust him it doesn't use the word belief it uses trust which is very different trust requires Reliance and faith we can have belief without trust but we can't have trust without believe so that's why the scriptures encourage us always to trust in Jehovah with all our heart nice Jam thank you so much and uh sister Jackson In 91 verse five I like that um expression that will not fear

the Terrors of the night we might at sometimes have physical fear but for most of us it's an emotional or mental time whenever we work out problems or can't sleep because in the middle of the night but the reference scripture uh use that expression but on you Jehovah will shine so I think it's just a a nice mental picture when you're in the middle of the night and your brain's recycling Something Jehovah shining on you and that is uh very comforting very nice and uh sister Duhan please final comment and now that we um may

have beards or we're wearing slacks to the meeting we wonder how are people going to know who we are but we still look different and one reason is in psalm 90:14 it said satisfy us with your loyal love in the morning so that we may shout joyfully and rejoice during all our days So the joy that we have as Jehovah's people because we're satisfied spiritually makes us look different even though we may start looking a little bit more like people on the outside very nice thank you dear friends for opening up the treasure chest and

sharing your gems with us brother KL exciting our gems thank you friends so much for your beautiful comments think we counted 15 comments excellent excellent job thank You so much for all your fine work this evening well now take this opportunity to go ahead and dismiss our auxiliary classro and brother John rogo will be taking that up in the back so feel free to compile an audience if you so feel moved but uh just to give us something to look forward to for next week here in the main hall we'll have a reading by Brother

the trap of the bird catcher from the destructive pestilence with his pinions he will cover you and under his wings you will take refuge his faithfulness will be a large shield and a protective wall you will not fear the Terrors of the night nor the arrow that flies by day nor the Pestilence that stalks in the Gloom nor the destruction that ravages at midday a thousand will fall at your side and 10,000 at your right hand but to you it will not come near you will only see it with your eyes as you witness the

punishment of the wicked because you said Jehovah is my refuge you have made the most high your dwelling no disaster will befall you and no plague will will come near your tent for he will give his angels a command Concerning you to guard you in all your ways they will carry you on their hands so that you may not strike your foot against the stone on the L Young Lion and the Cobra you will tread you will trample underf foot the main Lion and the big snake be God said because he has affection for me

I will rescue him I will protect him because he knows my name he will call on me and I will answer Him I will be I will be with him in distress I will rescue him and glorify him I will satisfy him with long life and I will cause him to see my acts of salvation Young Brother Julio that was excellent you must write blues music or something you had just this sorrowful kind of tener to you you did excellent job at conveying emotion you did very well young man you're a very Advanced reader so

I'm going to give you Some Advanced directed counsel all right so in your study note you were working on modulation and you did a very good job of varying it's it's modulation all about varying your volume pitch and Pace all right volume pitch and pace and you did an outstanding job of balancing your pace you did that especially in the beginning you had some points where you slowed down to really let the word sink in and you did a really good job about balancing your volume so you did both Those good things the only place

I would maybe think about adjusting slightly is your pitch and that can be done by increasing your voice and lowering and avoiding uh the same register and that really helps the audience get into like the lows the highs you did really good conveying emotion through your voice but raising your pitch even more dialed in is just going to amplify that effect and so you did a very good job keep up the fine work excellent job so we're going To go ahead and move on to our informal witnessing I've already given you the prequel of this

one so we're going to go ahead and move on sister Rachel Lopez assisted by Sister Raquel clay we look forward to your part your daughter is adorable what's her name oh thank you chenne oh I love that how old is she she's almost 6 months so we're here for her six Monon checkup time's flying oh it really is I've been coming here since I was her Age oh how do you like the doctor oh she is wonderful she's taken such good care of me and my brother over the years I'm just about aged out of

was really dealing your Council point was really on being Flexible and in doing so in a situation where you're not necessarily going to um use the Bible or you chose a different avenue as that was according to the direction for that part showing us how we can skillfully attack that kind of a setting you did such a good job about waiting for the right opportunity to have a conversation and then going so far as to being a helpful source for that uh the householder so we really appreciate you showing us how easy it Can be

to start a conversation and follow through on it so thank you so much for your assistance with that we'll know we'll go ahead and move on to our next part this evening another informal witnessing part that will be handled by Sister Lauren def Francis and she'll be assisted by Mara Stevens do you need help finding anything I you already have some lavender are you going to plant it in your garden yeah you know I was thinking About that I I but I um not sure where I can put it I not really familiar with lavender

well it does best in Sunny well- drained areas so maybe near a walkway or patio so you can smell it every time you pass by well that's a good idea I'm thinking of putting it maybe near my porch so I can smell it all the time oh that'll be nice PE it'll bring that calming feel you're looking for yeah that's exactly what I'm looking for calming Restful beautiful spot that's what I want for myself that's a wonderful idea has gardening always helped bring you peace yeah that and spending time with my family too what about

you what brings you peace I agree gardening does help me keep calm but also God's work word helps give me a lot of Peace have you ever turned to the Bible for peace I can't really say so but does that work for you it really does there's a scripture actually in Ecclesiastes that says he Will find enjoyment in his hard work and I'm sure you can relate to that yeah you know I'm thinking about I need to get my Bible out and dust it off a little cuz you know I've never heard that before but

I think I'd like to take a look at it and see what it can do for me then Perfect all right well anytime you're here I usually work on the weekend so if you want to exchange Garden tips or just chat I'm usually here oh okay that'll be good um I look Forward to seeing you again what was your name Lauren oh Lauren it was so nice meeting you and you know what I want you to have a good day you helped me so much thank you you too okay bye bye another excellent job thank

you very much sister def Francis you did very observant that's your counsil point you were working on was being observant I definitely realize how little I know about Plants if I'm glad you know what she knew about lavender being soothing if she had been walking out with oregano I don't know what she would have done but you did a very excellent job the whole point of that exercise was to be observant about noticing what you notice about a person it could have been any number of things but she she focused on something that she knew

and made a point to talk to her about it and then dovetailed that into a way to introduce Uh the scriptures and so excellent job s the Frances a really that was a a very very well done all right so thank you so much for that part we'll go ahead and move on to our talk for this evening brother Nico Luciano will be speaking with us on the theme you can live forever on Earth so forever can be subjective right when some people think about forever let's say a minute plank for example I know when

I think about a minute plank it's Forever you know you sitting there you're on your you're on your elbows and you're already shaking you're 10 seconds in and you're like I got this it's only five more 10 seconds right but you keep going and you feel like 35 seconds have gone by and you look over and it's only been 5 seconds and by the time you finish that that 60 seconds you're laying on your back and contemplating whether it was worth it or not and what do you say man that took forever right Or how

about one that's more relatable for most people you know you're leaving work Friday evening you're excited you're maybe you got plans with friends but you're a little late so you're driving you're like oh I should be there maybe a couple minutes late but all of a sudden you hit traffic now you're frustrated cuz you're like now I'm going to be super late this is going to take forever by the time you get past this tra It's only been like 15 minutes maybe 10 minutes hasn't been forever right so how do we really Define forever well

the New Oxford American Dictionary actually defines forever as being for all future time or for always so what in our life is guaranteed to be forever well we can find the answer in the Bible in Psalms 37: 29 if you can turn there with me and here we're going to hear the inspired words um from King David and again that's Psalms 37:29 and it says the Righteous will possess the Earth and they will live forever on it yes friends we have that Everlasting hope of living here on Earth forever but what was David truly talking

about was he talking about us here in the future thousands of years in the future well in this verse King David was actually uh speaking or he was inspired to write these words um about what life would be like for when a future wise and A faithful king would sit on the throne but this applies to us today and especially since we always quote uh verse 11 in Psalms 37 when we're speaking um or preaching uh in the ministry speaking about the coming of paradise but how can we know if David's words could apply to

us today well Jesus himself actually quoted these uh in the Bible and it's in Matthew 5:5 if you could start with me there again Matthew 5:5 and Jesus was Actually on The Sermon on the Mount here and he said happy are the mild tempered since they will inherit the earth so Jesus didn't say forever right he said well inherit the earth what does that what does that really mean it means that we're not just going to live forever here on this Earth no because according to Jesus again in Matthew 25:34 when he was speaking to

his disciples Jesus said come you who have been blessed by my father inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the founding of the world so again there's that word inherit not just living forever but inheriting the Earth but how does the bible define what inherit truly means well inherit is actually a Greek verb and it's defined as an heir to receive something often because of the type of relationship usually between like a son and a father as an example but here in the Bible uh the term is used uh here and in most occurrences in

The Christian group scriptures um as in a broader sense that we are to receive a reward from Jehovah for our hard work so in conclusion friends we're not only going to live forever here on this Earth no just as it was brought out in Matthew 5:5 where Jesus reminds us that the happy happy are the ones mild-tempered and those are the friends that will inherit and live forever on Je is Paradise Earth thank you brother Luciano we much Appreciate your hard work in preparing that discourse for us this evening uh your study point that we

that you were assigned was working on study number 14 in our teaching brochure made points made to stand out and there's several um parts of that uh lesson that are really helpful for us when we're compiling a talk and a f- minute talk is difficult to try and make a lot of main points appreciate your introduction um and we really like that you emphasize the theme Of your talk but something that I I think you could benefit from in in future talks is this something because I found it helpful for myself as well in having

an objective it's difficult with a with a subject like talking about forever when we're talking to an audience like this where we're not trying to convince everyone here that we're going to live forever so it's it's helpful to analyze our talk really thinking about what's the purpose of This particular theme in connection with the audience and so that's been helpful for me in the past and really trying to dial in which main points I want to focus on and then making those clear and so as you move forward in progressing really highlighting to the audience

your main points for the Target how it's going to benefit your audience will really help dialing in even more specific and even longer part Parts in the future so really appreciate you Taking the time to work on that part and it's never easy getting up and talking in front of people so appreciate your hard work my brother you did an excellent job and we look forward to your next one so thank you brothers and sisters for helping us out with our we want to really say thank you to our students both the auxiliary classroom and

out here for doing such an excellent job this evening we much appreciate you can go ahead and clap It's awesome so we'll go ahead and move into our living as Christians portion for the meeting so as we move in to our living as Christian SEC Christian section of our meeting we will get to watch a small video and have a bit of a question answer discussion based on the theme treasure The Riches of God's patience Jehovah's view of time and we'll invite brother Brennan Haynes let's start by playing the video Jehovah's view of time [Applause]

do you ever feel that time is flying by or that it sometimes slows to a crawl when we are anxious or dealing with illness time can seem to pass slowly but when we are absorbed in new and exciting experiences a day may not feel long [Music] enough to a child growing up may seem to take Forever but to an adult it can feel like Time Slips Away all too fast to us some features of creation appear motionless but over time they [Music] change astronomers believe that the first stars formed billions of years ago it is

difficult for us to conceive of such an enormous length of time but Jehovah who created the stars is from Everlasting to Everlasting he is not restrained or pressured by time but neither is he slow to act he always acts at exactly the right time appreciating Jehovah's view of time helps us to be patient while we await his new world we have uh one question to answer to get your thoughts on how can considering Jehovah's view of time help us to await his promises Patiently sister Turner it reminds us of how small or narrow our view

of time is and the photo here in our workbook is good to meditate on because we see that even the universe is just so tiny to Jehovah something that he created with his son excellent thank you uh sister Roga so so our like uh Gina brought out it's our perspective so when we look at it from Jehovah's standpoint we focus in That time doesn't limit him um and that his past in his past actions he always came through just at the right time that will help us to be patient excellent thank you another good point

uh sister laugh Danny um thank you about Je his patience and how he's seen so much um he could have started over again yet he stayed patiently faithful being our Eternal Father knowing it would be worth it so when I see the Badness in the world I Want to focus on the good to come and the best that's Yet to Come nice highlighting Jehovah's patience uh brother Roga I think right yeah that thought comes from habach 23 where it said we not be late and what we're talking about here is the the promises that he

talked about they will not fail uh they're going to come right on time when Jehovah says Excellent sister Duhan and Jehovah lovingly told us what's on his calendar upcoming for us to look for we've trust him very much but because he's on universal Standard time we don't know exactly when that's going to be thank you sister Duhan a great place to end really appreciate everyone's comments if I missed your hand and I saw I missed many please share with us after brother Haynes for directing Us in That part and thank you friends for your very

insightful comments much appreciated we'll go ahead and move on to our organizational accomplishments video and this will be shared by brother ronowski in Proverbs 20525 we read like cold water on a tired Soul it's a good report from a distant land let's get some Insight on the on the arrangement of WDC and how Jehovah blesses our brothers Work [Music] monitors under the leadership of Jesus the Harvest work is being accomplished an important part of supporting the Harvest work is constructing facilities that are used to educate and care for the great influx of those rightly disposed

for everlasting life therefore an adjustment had to be made to meet the organization's growing needs back in 2013 the governing body concluded that the existing arrangements for providing facilities would not be able to keep Pace with the needs of the organization thus we formed the worldwide design construction Department with the objective of consolidating all of this work into one Department under the direction of the publishing committee we had several goals for this new Department the first was producing More facilities in the most effic ient and economical manner second we ask them to look for ways

to simplify and streamline the work so that projects could be delivered in the shortest possible time third we wanted them to provide solutions that were flexible and could provide the best overall value for the organization that would help us to adapt quickly as our needs change in addition to Kingdom Halls Assembly halls and Branch offices we need remote translation offices media Studios and Theocratic school facilities around the world over the past 10 years how has the worldwide design construction department or WDC been able to keep Pace with the accelerating needs of the preaching and teaching

work our work especially benefits from the continued application of a basic Bible principle found at Colossians 2:19 the Whole body is supplied and harmoniously joined together and made to grow with the growth that is from God by remaining harmoniously joined together communicating and collaborating with one another in unity we are in a better position to respond to and support Christ headship doing so enables us to experience the growth that is from god let's now go behind the scenes of a few recent projects to see how a more Flexible approach along with early and ongoing collaboration

is leading to better results and evidence of Jehovah's blessing we have been renting about 65 apartments for the needs of the fr Branch but sadly their quality was not consistent and it involved much work to manage so our branch committee considered developing new residences on bethl properties instead of renting currently at the Central America branch we translate to approximately 80 Languages because we need to do translation work into so many languages we currently require 66 do remote translation offices but getting these offices requires a lot of work and at the same time we needed to

keep supplying Kingdom Halls which are urgently needed in the region so the amount of work involved and addressing both needs seemed too great here in Brazil we have a great need for more men and women that can Help support the congregations and in the field thankfully we have many young brothers and sisters that want to expand their service to Jehovah and have applied for SK as a matter of fact we Reed between 2000 and 2500 applications per year the need for another permanent School became very obvious when the WDC receives direction from the governing body

we pray for guidance do our research and consult with local Brothers then we proceed with an eye on where Jehovah's spirit is leading a project or even redirect directing it with what results in the end following the recommendation of world headquarters we ended up purchasing residential Apartments built by property developers that we could easily sell should our future needs change the governing body gave its approval to have a group specializing in providing these remote translation offices the project development group Communicates with the WDC the WDC then communicates with different groups at World Headquarters the service

committee the writing committee the publishing committee and the translation services department the project development group also works closely with the local translation team the purchasing department the legal department the service department and with many other Departments here at the branch we saw Jehovah's hand in that because it allowed us to move forward with the work without disregarding the great need we had in the region for Kingdom Halls well we appreciated the good direction we received from WDC to have a flexible approach in searching for properties not just looking for property in which we could build

a new structure but also for buildings that were already available that could be renovated for That purpose we we were able to find a hotel that fit our needs exactly both because of its location and its size the brothers received direction from WDC to use Bible principles in the process at one point the negotiations weren't going very well the brothers took a break they said a prayer to Jehovah and they came back with Bible in hand they showed a Bible principle to the owner that showed that we want to be honest in everything we do

the owner was So impressed that from then on the negotiations went very smoothly as a result we were able to obtain that property for a fair market Price and additional funds were able to be used in order to extend that property to have yet a third class as part of the complex the new directions given by the WDC Department have been a real blessing to our residential projects here in France our branch has a long history of Theocratic Construction However never before have the projects of this size moov so quickly the branch committee is impressed

with the quality of what's being developed and planned and we've come to appreciate these new approaches we see positive effects uh of having the translation office in where the language is spoken but the fact that a place was purchased where it was built or that particular aspect of the work they're in the right locations they have the right equipment it makes it a lot Easier for the brothers to be able to do their work so being in these RTO it's a blessing from Jehovah the new schools building is designed to accommodate more than 250 students

of the school for Kingdom evangelizers each year certainly a building dedicated for schools is well worth the effort and the investment of those that work on the project this great strengthens my faith that when Jehovah desires something there are no Obstacles that can prevent his purpose from happening well we've certainly seen Jehovah's blessing on this Arrangement good planning communication and collaboration are allowing us to prioritize and expedite work that directly advances the global preaching and teaching work the governing body would like to assure all of you dear brothers and sisters of our deep love and

appreciation for you we thank Everyone for all that you do to support us in advancing Kingdom interest during these exciting but challenging final days of the last days when it comes to providing facilities to support the work one size doesn't fit all by being adaptable and responsive to the needs the circumstances the Insight of others and the leadings of Jehovah's Spirit we show that we are following jesus' leadership and are thus made to Grow with the growth that is from God this is preparing us for even greater building and educational projects in the paradise soon

to [Music] [Applause] come what an exciting exciting insight into the work of WDC and how Jehovah blessing it and we may have opportunities locally here to support our local uh builds and Long Island Assembly Hall is not too far Right so if we can please join uh uh If your circumstances allows so we thank you all for uh your contribution to uh advancing of the Kingdom work in our area thank you brother rebowski much appreciated we'll go ahead and move on to our congregation Bible study and this will be conducted by brother Keith Bradley when

we began our discussion of section six the second question was asked what blessings result when we accept Theocratic assignments with a willing spirit well tonight we get a chance to begin the answer to that question and more as we begin chapter 16 step over into Macedonia the focus as we will notice blessings result from accepting an assignment and meeting persecution with joy so we look forward to learning what uh what can help us as we continue in Jehovah's service so let's get started in our lesson brother guby is our reader We'll follow along as as

he considers paragraphs 1 through3 a group of women leave the city of Philippi in Macedonia before long they reach the narrow River gidis as is their custom they sit down at the river bank to pray to the god of Israel Jehovah observes them meanwhile more than 500 miles east of Philippi a group of men leave the city of lisra in southern galatia days later they reach a paved Roman Highway leading Westward to The most populated region of the District of Asia the men Paul Silas and Timothy are eager to travel down that road so as

to visit Ephesus and other cities where thousands of people need to hear about Christ yet even before they can start the journey the Holy Spirit stops them in some undisclosed manner they are forbidden to preach in Asia why Jesus by means of God's spirit wants to guide Paul's party all the way through Asia Minor across the aan sea and onward To the banks of that little river named gidis the way that Jesus guided Paul and his companions during that unusual journey into Macedonia contains valuable lessons for us today therefore let us review some of the

events that occurred during Paul's second missionary tour which began in about 49 CE excellent reading Good Start brother guby we appreciate that so our a question for paragraphs 1 through3 how did Paul and his companions experience The direction of the Holy Spirit uh sister basil please start us off L NE the men Paul SS and Timothy they were eager to travel down that road so and they were Vis in Ephesus and all the other cities were thousands of people need to hear about Jesus Christ all right thank you good start sister Hawkins please yes these

men had the desire to go to Asia but the Holy Spirit had something else in mind the um angels and Jehovah also that group of women that were together praying to Jehovah and Jehovah wanted them to go in that direction very good thank you so much excellent answer our B question what events will we consider let's get brother Roma please we're going to consider some events that occurred during Paul's second missionary tour which began around 49 very good excellent and let's get brother Leonard yeah the way that um Jesus guided and directed Paul and his

companions it it's really strange when you look at the account it seems like a tremendous amount of effort could have been saved uh if Jesus would have just explained right at the beginning where to go and how to go and so forth but there's a lot of lessons for us today because of this yeah very good and there are quite a bit in this chapter that we'll get a chance to go over this week And in the ensuing weeks very nice good comments nice start let's continue with our sub eding uh God had summoned us

and we'll follow along with pleased with the readings of paragraphs 4 and 5 prevented from preaching in Asia Paul and his companions turned northward to preach in the cities of bethenia to get there they may have walked for days on unpaved Trails between the sparsely populated regions of friia and galatia however when they neared Bethenia Jesus again used the Holy Spirit to block them by then the men must have been puzzled they knew what to preach and how to preach but they did not know where to preach they had knocked as it were on the

door leading to Asia but in vain they had knocked on the door leading to bethenia again in vain still Paul was determined to keep on knocking until he found a door that would open the men then made a decision that might have seemed erratic they Turned West and walked for 350 Mi by passing city after city until they reached the port of troas the natural gateway to to Macedonia there for the third time Paul knocked on a door and yes it swung wide open the gospel writer Luke who joined Paul's party at traz reports what

happened during the night a vision appeared to Paul a Macedonian man was standing there urging him and saying step over into Macedonia and help us as Soon as he had seen the vision we tried to go into m cedonia drawing the conclusion that God had summoned us to declare the good news to them finally Paul knew where to preach how happy Paul must have felt that he had not given up halfway through the Journey immediately the four men sailed for Macedonia very nice good start there thank you for that good reading paragraphs 4 and five

well before we get into that uh could someone read for us Please the book of of Acts chap 16: 6-10 so acts 16 6-10 uh sister Gerson please acts 16 6-10 moreover they traveled through Fria and the country of galatia because they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in the province of Asia further when they came down to Mia they made efforts to go into bethenia but the spirit of Jesus did not permit them so they passed by missia and came down to Traz and during the night a vision appeared to

Paul a Macedonian man was standing there urging him and saying step over into Macedonia and help us as soon as he had seen the vision we tried to go into Macedonia drawing the conclusion that God had summoned us to declare the good news to them very nice thank you so w in Harmon with that our a question please what happened to Paul's party near bethenia sister Fisher Please well they had gone through some rough terrain as they were heading north hoping this might be the the route um but then they were blocked the verse had

said the spirit of Jesus did not permit them so yet another road block so at this point they were definitely perplexed um as to where to go yes indeed let's get sister uh Ward please I thought this was a really good example for us especially in this area because even though they were blocked Kned twice um it says that still Paul was determined to keep on knocking until he found a door that would open so similarly uh we have a lot to do in this area um and sometimes it may feel like we're getting blocked

in certain forms of service but that doesn't mean that we should give up it just means we haven't knocked on the right door yet thank you you made me feel better with that comment that's good but true and so we're going to expand all that Application in uing weeks so nicely said if we're since we've read their scripture if we don't if we have a chance uh uh why don't we take a look at the map uh and most of us if we have it on the the hard copy the end sheets so if we

have our electronic Publications if we tap the top left Arrow it'll take us back to the beginning of the book and you can scroll down and tap on maps and if we get a chance in our JW Library app see the bottom map that's titled ancient lands and cities and we can see there the second missionary tour so that's kind of the purple line and we see it starting there in syan Antioch going through various cities including lisra Iconium and then we see there in pidan Antioch and we see there how Paul and his companions

went northward and they tried to go East initially as we know through Ephesus but we know they were blocked by the Holy Spirit but then we see them traveling north following that purple line we see it heading through friia and galatia heading towards bethenia but as we learn according to acts 166 and 7 that line didn't go straight North into bethenia it went off to the left going Westward and why was that the case just to drive that point home looking at our map so the line goes up and then it goes goes that way

why did it go that way Brother Fisher well the spirit stopped them right in their tracks so they made the decision to turn west very good excellent which leads us right into our B question what decision did the disciples make and with what result uh sister s Hill please the account there in Acts 16 verse 8 in particular the study Bible brought out in um 2012 Watchtower the decision the apostles made was to keep watchful of The direction of Jehovah's Holy Spirit and of course Jesus being the head of the congregation was making that direction

so they tried different what they thought Avenues but then they ended up in Macedonia the direction of the holy spirit so this is a beautiful example for us to Be watchful for what the slave directs us we might think oh they're going to do this they're going to do that but with Jehovah's Spirit guiding the slave that as the apostles They were watchful We Want To Be watchful thank you well say let's get brother uh Duhan please just a simple observation I like the use of the word in the question of the paragraph Paul's party

makes it sound like it was a big party of fun time but it wasn't they were frustrated they kept having all these doors slammed in their faces until finally the that second Vision gave them the thumbs up this is the door and I like how paragraph five Says finally Paul knew where to preach how happy he must have felt it was a party I never thought about that thank you very good brother uh brother Costa TR please and there's a danger in taking direction that we feel as direction from Jehovah prematurely we're constantly looking for

answers to prayers um but not getting overly carried away with what we determine is Jehovah's Holy Spirit or his Direction and Paul said a Great example of this he no doubt prayed before he was going to these different areas prayed a lot but the the scripture says that he felt puzzled he didn't feel betrayed so he did his very best with the circumstances that he had and then he finally let Jehovah lead the rest of the way very good nice application friend so quite a journey that these men were willing to undertake this adjustment as

it mentions in a paragraph We can imagine uh walking 350 miles and as we know doing 20 mil a day that's 17 or 18 days so that's quite the adjustment that they were willing to make but Paul following the direction he was giving so we look for more practical lessons next week in our lesson but for now let's continue with our discussion as we dig deeper into the writer of this exciting Bible book we're going to consider the Box uh Luke the writer of acts so page 128 we're at the bottom of our digital Edition

near the bottom of The chapter we'll follow along and we'll have brother guby if he could read for us the first two paragraphs up to chapter 16:9 the book of Acts is narrated strictly and the third person that is the writer limits himself to reporting what others said and did at acts 16 10 and 11 however there is a change in that style in verse 11 for instance the writer says we put out to see from troas and made a straight run to Samra this is where Luke the writer joined the action but since Luke's

name does not appear anywhere in Acts of Apostles how do we know that he was in fact the writer the answer lies in the introductions to the book of Acts and Luke's gospel both introductions are addressed to a certain theophilis the opening words of Acts read the first account o Theophilus I composed about all the things Jesus Started to do do and to teach since ancient authorities agree that the first account the gospel was written by Luke he must also have written acts very nice paragraph paragraph one what shift in writing style occurs in the

book of Acts from verses 9 to verses 10 and 11 brother velia please third thir person report to a first person I was there very good and brother Gerson Please that means that we have a new member in Paul's party somebody else is coming in and it happens to be the person who's been writing the book very nice which brings us to our next paragraph with this question how do we know Luke is the writer of the book of Acts when his name doesn't appear in the account some nice read in that we get here

from the slave uh sister Rivera please it mentioned that both Introductions are addressed to a certain Theophilus very good nice start and then it makes another very interesting connection uh brother tolto please and the Bible scholars agree that the Gospel of Luke was written by Luke so if facts begin exactly the same way we can conclude it was the same writer very good very nice by him saying right you know the first account obviously there's an additional one and the off is the Tie to both of them very Nice so that helps us with the

understanding who wrote it let's continue with paragraph three we do not know very much about Luke his name appears only three times in the Bible the Apostle Paul calls Luke the Beloved Physician and one of his own fellow workers the we sections of the book of Acts those in which Luke includes himself in the narrative indicate that Luke first accompany the Apostle Paul From traz to Philippi and about 50 CE but that when Paul left Philippi lukee was no longer with him the two men met up again in Philippi in about 56 CE and traveled

with seven other brothers from Philippi to Jerusalem where Paul was arrested two years later Luke accompanied Paul who was still in Chains From cesaria to Rome when Paul who had been jailed for a second time in Rome perceived that his execution was near only Luke was with him it is clear that Luke traveled long distances and was willing to suffer hardships for the sake of the good news very nice F how did Luke support Paul showing what about his character how do he support him this gets us to S Hill please Colossians 4:14 is the

only reference to Luke as the Beloved Physician this is the only verse in the Bible that mentions his profession and no doubt his profession Not only was he a loyal supporter to Paul in the field of the preaching and being in the missionary tour but he was a doctor so he could help Paul with his ailments his physical ailments so uh he helped him in both ways emotionally and physically in the work that Jesus had given him to do thank you very good let's get sister uh Rodriguez please Mariah we're helped to see in 2

Timothy 4:6 that Luke was with Paul in his most desperate times he said at that point he Was being poured out like a drink offering and yet it was only Luke that was with him on that one occasion but on multiple M occasions so he was always there when Paul needed him and he was willing to uh make sacrifices very good nice job so willing to do quite a bit let's move forward to our fourth paragraph please Luke did not claim to have witnessed what he wrote about Jesus on the contrary he said that he

undertook To compile an account of the facts based on the accounts of eyewitnesses moreover he traced all things from the start with accuracy to write them to you in logical order the results of Luke's labors show that he was a careful researcher perhaps he conducted interviews with Elizabeth with Jesus mother Mary and with others in order to collect his material much of what he wrote is unique among the gospel accounts very good so what kind of Researcher was Luke sister maresi please he was a very Avid researcher it says that he traced all the things

from the start with accuracy to write them to you in logical order so he uh compiled an account of the facts uh and he got those accounts from my Witnesses and also uh he did research so um it's logical that he might have interviewed Elizabeth and Jesus mother Mary and others in order to uh write this account Very good excellent and let's get sister uh Gerson please uh Anna so the interesting point is that much of what he wrote is unique among the gospel accounts and then it gives the um scripture uh citation there of

Luke 1 5-80 a lot of details about Elizabeth so it ends a lot lends a lot of credence to the fact that he might have conducted interviews with the these specific Bible characters to get this information good to be able to compile Facts from interviews obviously shows that he had what quality or what skill he was good at what what do you think sister uh White please well it meant um he was definitely a good listener right he was obviously a very good listener now how does being a good listener perhaps help us in our

ministry let's get sister she put her hand Down brother uh tongue unlike Jesus that can read Hearts we can't read Hearts so when we uh preach to people when we ask questions and listen to what they have to say people usually revealed what's in their heart through their conversation very good excellent and sister uh Ellison please this the U talk we had tonight number four on um starting a conversation it said listen to them discuss draw the person out so that the Then we can determine how the Bible can make his life better so when

we sit there and just let them talk ask good questions then that enables us to decide where do we go from here to introduce the Bible very nice very good and brother Ramirez please and then being a good per uh listener is where we really show the personal interest in the individual if you just hear if you ask a question and then you let them answer and then you Move on to the next question and they answered it completely wrong then you weren't actually paying attention to them the inner person and maybe you have to

go over certain subjects a couple times so making sure that we really reach out for that personal interest very good thank you nice Expressions very good let's continue with paragraph five Paul stated that Luke was a physician and a doctor's interest in those who suffer can be perceived in What he wrote just to mention a few examples Luke noted that when Jesus cured a demon-possessed man the demon came out of him without hurting him that the Apostle Peter's mother-in-law was distressed with a high fever and that a woman whom Jesus helped had been Afflicted with

a spirit of weakness for 18 years and she was bent double and was unable to straighten up at all all right so what kind of Interest did Luke show in Others and how do we know let's get sister um gger please as a physician there we can see all of the details that he included in his writing the uh very specific about uh when the the demon was uh taken out of the man that he didn't hurt him he gave a specific about the man another man being bent double or unable to straighten up so

that just added that much more spice to that writing very good how is it that we can show interest To others in our ministry sister cost please s we learned in our demonstrations tonight to be observant of the situation to see what might what might be appealing to them so that we can go off how they are feeling to make a better witness very good nice expression and uh let's get brother Bess we don't want to forget uh having that fellow feeling that Luke obviously had If we see someone who's in need and it's within

our abilities to provide a solution for them or to provide some help and it's safe to do so look for practical ways that we can help those in our ministry as well and then we show them that we're not just there to preach at them or to talk about the Bible we care about them as people and we're interested in helping them every way that we can very good nice practical Expressions we appreciate it de friends Let's conclude as we have brother guby we'll follow along with the last paragraph paragraph six clearly Luke put the

work of the Lord first in his life his objective was not to pursue a secular career or prominence but simply to help others know and serve Jehovah thank you brother guby good reading appreciate it what lesson do we learn about secular work from Luke sister Medina please it wasn't his main focus his main Focus was to help people know and serve Jehovah very good excellent and let's get uh Sister Sister Harris please and we can see that from that scripture at uh First Corinthians uh where he says um always having plenty to do in the

work of the Lord umu because your labor will not be in vain in that so um he was smart in that aspect because he put Jehovah in uh the doing of his will first and uh did not give Any uh clout to secular very good and so what a nice practical lesson we've had tonight even if our work involves a special full-time service and even when we're engaged in any aspect related to our spiritual activities we can still learn from the principle by not letting anything we do from Jehovah become secular in nature right so

what a good lesson that we learned from Luke so thank you all for your great comments uh Brother guby good reading and so next week we look forward to reviewing other lessons that we can learn as Paul continues on in his second missionary tour thank you brother Bradley for conducting that so thoroughly and thank you friends for your excellent comments and brother guby for your excellent reading as well thank you so much so what have we learned this evening well let's take a couple minutes Just to review in our Treasures portion uh portion brother Ellison

really helped highlight that idea of trusting in Jehovah is really the only way to make sure we have a rewarding and longlasting life staying successful against Satan's challenges even when they are uh when we're pressured to compromise regarding medical issues in our spiritual gems you friends had over 15 comments thank you so much for your beautiful expressions of Faith in our uh student Parts this evening we saw two excellent discussion or excellent presentations for informal witnessing such a key facet of our day-to-day life being able to give Witnesses like that based on observation and developing

those skills that was highlighted very expertly by our students this evening very much appreciated of course in our living as Christian section we got to enjoy uh that beautiful two beautiful videos one With helping us to appreciate Jehovah's view of patience and connected that with time and of course our organizational accompl accomplishments with the worldwide construction department so many things to look forward to and then we also appreciate all your friends dear comments with our Bible study talking about luk the such an exciting um Bible account in Acts and the work that went into compiling

it and then seeing how Paul progressed in his journey trusting In Jehovah to open the right doors lots of valuable lessons for us as individuals so we thank you so much for your uh your time this evening next week we'll have even more good things to look forward to so we invite you back next week to participate wordss so again thank you friends for all your participation this evening we'll now conclude hello again everybody hope everyone is doing well in today's video We're going to be considering some of the main points related with the student

assignments for the week of September 30 to October 6 2024 so friends thanks for being here thanks for watching we welcome you and now now let's dive in so we noticed the assignment number three is one of the first student assignments for this week and this is the Bible reading four minutes or less and the portion to read is Psalm 91: 1-6 the study to work on is study number 10 from the teaching brochure and this says modulation and it's really important because a good modulation makes the difference between a good reading versus a flat

reading and for example it's advising us about be careful speaking with a high volume but on the other hand speaking with a low Volume so this these small details makes make a significant difference in our reading don't increase your volume so often that your listeners feel scolded so it's just a simple advice but very powerful and this Psalm Psalm 91 it's very powerful very encouraging so let's read let's read it and it says anyone dwelling in the secret place of the most high will Lodge Under the shadow of the almighty I'll say to Jehovah you

are my refuge and my stronghold my God in whom I trust for he'll rescue you from the trap of the be bird catcher from the destructive pestilence with his pinions he'll cover you and under his wings you'll take refuge his faithfulness will be a large shield and a protective wall you won't fear the Terrors of the night nor the Arrow that flies by day nor the pestilence that stalks in the Gloom nor the destruction that re rages at midday a thousand will fall at your side and then th at your right hand but to you

it will not come near you'll only see it with your eyes as your witness the punishment of the wicked because you said Jehovah is my refuge you have made the most high your dwelling no disaster will befall you and No plague will come near your tent for he'll give his angels a command concerning you to guard you in all your ways they'll carry on they'll carry you on their hands so that you may not strike your foot against a stone on the Young Lion and the Cobra you Trad you trample underfoot the man Lion and

the big snake God said because he has affection For me I'll rescue resue him I'll protect him because he knows my name he'll call on me and I'll answer him I'll be with him in distress I'll rescue him and glorify him I'll satisfy him with long life and I'll cause him to see my acts of Salvation so this is a powerful reading powerful promise we find in this scripture in this Psalm and it's very important to reflect and read this PSAL this Passage very often especially in these difficult times okay then we have the number

four and this is starting a conversation but we appreciate how Jehovah's organization is teaching us training us to preach but not just door to door house to house both inal in informal way that's what we call informal witnessing and for example we we notice this point without discussing the Bible draw the Person out so that you are able a to determine how the Bible can make his daily life better so that's very interesting having a conversation without using the scriptures just having a conversation a normal conversation and the LA people brochure says be flexible don't

insist on starting a conversation on a topic you had in mind start with something that others are Thinking about today ask yourself what is in the news what I my what are my neighbors co-workers or classmates talking about okay and then we have another informal situation number five starting a conversation but this is again informal witnessing and the LA people brochure lesson 1.4 says be observant ask Yourself what is the person currently doing what might he be thinking about what do the person's clothing appearance or home tell me about his beliefs or culture is this

a good time to talk to the person and that's really significant because we are showing consideration to the other person and is really significant this point when we show consideration if we respect the space and the time of the other person if it's not a good time to Talk with the [Music] person is not biggy maybe in a next time in a different time will have a better opportunity or another brother or sister to talk with the person okay and finally we're going to be listening an interesting Talk number six and the theme is you

can live forever on Earth so friends that's our wrap for this summary thanks for watching thanks For being here we hope you have a wonderful day and hope to see you in our next broadcast so bye for now
