and now.....

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

Bill Annis – God is a giving God and he gives his light to illuminate the path for the righteous. Song of Solomon 2:17 Until the day breaks And the shadows flee away, Turn, my beloved, And be like a gazelle Or a young stag Upon the mountains of Bether. People were never created for darkness. We were created for light. In God there is noting but good. We are not to be in the shadows, for in the shadows lurks evil. Matthew 4:16 The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned.” From that day the light had come and people dwelt in the shadows no longer. Everything around us declares the glory of God, the heavens, the oceans, the trees etc. Creation declares there is a God and there is life! James 1:17  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Great is Thy faithfulness “Great is Thy faithfulness,” O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be. https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/19 Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God. Revelation 21:23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory  of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. The gospel is preaching the forgiveness of sin, and then people receiving and turning and ceasing from their sin. When people become salt and light it gives them a purpose in life. Christians are to be a light that will dispel the darkness. God’s power can not be contained and is unstoppable when his spirit is in the hearts of men and women. 2 Corinthians 4:1-7 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. 2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus , not the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. The power in the frail vessels is from God, not our own selves. Therefore all power and glory belongs to Christ alone.
