THE HOLY WORD FOR MORNING REVIVAL
This week we will cover Week 4 in One Accord and Crucial Aspects of the Book of Acts: "The Resurrected, Ascended, and All-inclusive Christ."
The Holy Word for Morning Revival is intended as an aid to believers in developing a daily time of morning revival with the Lord in His word. At the same time, it provides a limited review of the International Training for Elders and Responsible Ones held in Anaheim, California on April 4-6, 2025.

As a reminder, the space provided at the end of each week is for composing a short prophecy. This prophecy can be composed by considering our daily notes, the "harvest" of our inspirations during the week, and preparing a main point and sub-points to be spoken in the church meetings for the organic building up of the Body of Christ.
LIFE-STUDY PURSUIT
This week, the church will continue our corporate reading in the Life-study of Ephesians: Messages 17 and 18.
Our church life-study pursuit is to encourage all the saints to develop a habit of reading the Life-studies for our spiritual nourishment and growth in Christ. For detailed information about the Life-studies, weekly schedule, and resources, visit the "Members" tab of the church website or this page.

New Releases
compiled by Ray Graver
We now have The History and Revelation of the Lord's Recovery (2-volume set) in the D4 book room. Copies are available at LSM's discounted price: $10 per set for the English, Chinese, or Korean version, and $18 for the Spanish version.
About History and Revelation of the Lord's Recovery:
"The Lord’s recovery among us is unique in church history. The Lord has brought us to a point where the age can be turned, and we need to know the history of His move among us. In a service training for all the churches in Asia held in Hong Kong and Taipei, Taiwan, from November 2 through 24, 1981, Brother Lee released a series of twenty-eight messages covering the history of the Lord’s recovery in a detailed way. In addition, these messages detail the many revelations that the Lord has given to us over the course of our history. These twenty-eight messages have never been published as a standalone publication in English. However, they have been published in The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1981, volume 2. All who are interested in knowing about the history of the Lord’s recovery among us and the lessons that we can learn from our history should read this book."
