Day 8: The Household of Stephanas - 1 Corinthians 1:1-9 In our reading today, Paul recalls who he baptised and particularly the household of Stephanas. In verse nine Paul attests that they were called into the fellowship of God’s Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, so it would be reasonable to think this position of faith included Stephanas. He is mentioned in the same context just a few verses later and as a result of coming to faith in Christ, he and his house are baptised. Over the next few days, we are going to highlight some significant points in Cornelius experience, as well as that of his household, as together they came to faith in Jesus Christ. Consider making a list in the space below that includes family members and friends you will be particularly praying for this month. Prayer: Dear Lord, as Paul was a strategic part of Your plan for the evangelisation for the nation of Israel and then the Gentiles (non Jewish people) of the first century, I pray for opportunities to be part of Your plan in reaching my family and friends for You, today. Please give me wisdom, grace and opportunity. I ask this in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
