Notes from Sunday's service (December 23, 2018) and a location change

Good Morning!
Please be advised that due to a viewing at Angus on Sunday night, Dec.30th, we are asked to go to H.C.MacQuarrie in Stellarton for service.

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


Dr. Barclay-Something to Think About
Theme: “Be Not Afraid”

Luke Chapter 2:8-11
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

Today people are filled with fear. Fear of earthquakes, flood, disease, loss of job, economic turmoil etc. The earth is permeated with fear. In the bible Paul had plenty to be afraid of, he was imprisoned and shipwrecked. Yet Paul tells us the secret of contentment and being at peace with life.
Philippians 4:11-13
I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Paul’s great secret was that he had joy. That joy came from his intimate relationship with Christ. There is a difference between happiness and joy. Happiness is transient, we may be happy one day and not the next. But the inner joy that God gives us is lasting and stays with us all the time. The more we pray, read God’s word and trust in God’s faithfulness, we will be filled with his joy, the joy that no man can ever take away. We need not be afraid when we have the joy of the Lord
Christ came and died for us that our joy would be complete. The greatest gift we could ever receive is the joy of the Lord and it is free to all who seek Christ.



Stacy Dlamini-Theme: Magi (Wise Men)

Matthew 2:1-12
Magi was the term applied to men who were astrologers, who had uncommon skills to read the future and interpret the signs of the times. These were wise and highly educated men from Persia.
The three magi brought Jesus very unique gifts each with a significant and important meaning.
Gold -representing Kingship
Frankincense- a symbol of deity.
Myrrh-an embalming oil a symbol of death.
Many people in Judea at that time had no idea that God’s salvation plan had been activated among them. But the Magi from the east were in tune with the times and God and they knew what was going on, they knew a divine King was born here on earth. Therefore, the Magi bowed down and gave their riches to Jesus. God revealed himself and his wonderful plans to the Magi. It is wonderful to know that Christ our almighty King was first worshiped by Shepherds, Angels and three specially chosen wise men.
