Service of Sunday April 19, 2015

Here's some notes from Sunday's service.  (Thanks, Heather)

Hi All. 

 

The last thing I do before bed... sending out the bulletins and notes from tonight :)

'Something to Think About'

- Revelations 1:5 - "and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.'

- Revelations 2:13 -  "... you hold fast My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.'

- Faithful Witness... 'SURE'... to know that you know!

- Paul's Conversion, for example, he had absolute faith in what he spoke about!

- Faithful to the Faith!

- Are the days of being a 'faithful witness' gone?

- Something to think about!

 

Message tonight was from Pastor Todd; another great captivating message.

(pre-message in the bulletin "Proclaim The Kingdom")

- Matthew 8:21, 22

- Luke 9:60

- Jesus says there will always be death, but I'm here for only a short time, and I want to see you working.

- We have to die to self.

- 'let the dead (or influence) bury the dead'

- Cut ties with the world

- Choose life

- Romans 4... Your old self died; death has no power.

- to break the bond of death on the world, Jesus died!!

- Some excuses for not attending church: Someone sat in my seat, they changed the music, they didn't put me in charge of nursery, I didn't get lead worship leader, Sunday's are the only day for me

- People make these 'reasons' for not attending church BUT we need each other!... 'cause when we walk out that door of the church, death is waiting!

- The devil will try to find a way to put a wedge between you and those of great influence.

- Hatred is from the devil!

- When you can release the hatred to God, the love is released... Let go and let God!!

- The death he holds DOES NOT WIN!!!

- There are 2 guarantees: Taxes and death

- Loop holes: Tax credits and death has no power because Christ conquered death!

 

In closing we sang, 'It is Well With my Soul'

 

Those things holding you low... have a little chat with God!!... I'm sure he's been waiting for you!! :)

Don’t forget to pray for all those young and old who are homeless.

Please pray for all Pictou County churches.
