Jack Hay Visit

We were delighted to have a visit yesterday from an old friend, the evangelist Jack Hay from Perth.

In the afternoon Bible Teaching meeting Jack spoke from Colossians 4 concentrating his remarks on the practical lessons for Christian living contained in the first 6 verses.

In the evening Gospel service Jack again spoke from the letter to the Colossians but this time in chapter 1.

Obstacles To Salvation

Euan was responsible for the Gospel meeting today. He spoke from Matthew's gospel chapter 22 and thought about the various difficulties and questions that people put in the way of getting salvation but tried to focus our attention on the importance of the fundamental question "what do you think of Christ"?

Testing Daniel

Craig took the afternoon Bible Teaching meeting. He spoke on a number of tests that faced Daniel and the lessons that they teach us for today.

John 3 vs16

Alasdair and Bob were responsible for the Gospel meeting last Sunday. Both spoke from John's Gospel chapter 3 and verse 16.

The Purpose of Bible Teaching Meetings

Ken was responsible for the Bible Teaching meeting last Sunday afternoon. Using 2 Corinthians 7 vs8-12 as the base text, and making reference to a wide range of scriptures from the Old and New Testaments, a number of lessons were considered, including:-

• The motivation of the speaker
• The burden of the speaker
• The gift of the speaker
• The responsibilities of the hearer
  

Believing is Seeing

Ken and Craig were responsible for the Gospel meeting last night. Ken read John 6 vs36-40 and spoke on the fact that people were able to witness the miracles and hear the teaching of the Lord Jesus and yet the Lord could say to them "you have seen me, and believe not"!

Craig followed with a number of scriptures from John's gospel that illustrate that where God is concerned 'seeing is not believing', but through faith 'believing is seeing' - see John 11 vs40.

The Hand of the Lord

Owing to some confusion at Benore Care Home our normal service there on the first Sunday of the month couldn't take place yesterday and we will be visiting next week instead.

Craig stepped into the breach at the Bible Teaching meeting. He spoke on the six references in the book of Ezekiel to the hand of the Lord being upon Ezekiel:

Ch 1v3; Ch 3v14; Ch 8v1; Ch 33v22; Ch 37v1; Ch 40v1

The ABC of the Gospel

Bob and Ken were responsible for the Gospel meeting last Sunday night. Bob took up the ABC of the Gospel:

A: Romans 3v23 - "all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God"
B: John 1v29 - "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world"
C: Matthew 11v28 - "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest"

Ken followed up with some thoughts in a similar vein.

The Word Became Flesh

Last Sunday afternoon, the Bible Teaching meeting was taken by a visiting speaker - Ian Jackson from Eastbourne. Ian is in the area having gospel meetings at Kinross Gospel Hall.

Ian read from John's Gospel chapter 1 verse 14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth". He spoke on the deity of the Lord Jesus and on the reality of His manhood.
