Service of Sunday February 1, 2015

Some notes from Sunday's service.  (Thanks, Jean)

Dr. Barclay talked about the importance of wood throughout scripture.

From the beginning to the end in both the Old and New Testaments.

Genesis Chapter 3- Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit from the tree in the midst of the Garden.

Exodus 4-Through the Wooden Rod God controlled the evil that Satan did through the Serpent.

Salvation for the Israelite people did not end on Passover; they still had to follow God and obey. 

Jesus died on a wooden Cross for our Salvation.

Dr. Barclay stated that God wants us to learn and study his word. God never intended that learning from the Bible should be hard difficult or complicated.

Pauline V. gave an amazing testimony of being healed from cancer and having no disabilities or lasting effects from a massive stroke.

Dr. Solimon stressed the importance of continued prayer, to keep praying faithfully for every need and never give up.

Pastor Caroline Barclay spoke on the theme of understanding the Trinity.

2 Corinthians 3:14

Father God

Jesus the Son

Holy Spirit the Comforter

Yet still the three in one, are all members of the God Head.

Christians here on this earth will never be perfect. However, we do have a perfect example to follow in Jesus.

God knew we would go through hard and sorrowful times so he sent the Holy Spirit to comfort us.

With the comfort of the Holy Spirit we would have no need to feel alone because we would have the continued assurance the Lord is with us.

Humans are three in one Body, Mind and Spirit. God is three in one Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Communion was observed at the end out the service and the old Hymn, "He Looked Beyond My Fault and Saw My Need" was sung followed by a time of prayer.
