Let's Go To Church Sunday Sunday School Lesson PARTNERS IN THE GOSPEL International Sunday School Lesson for Aug. 13 Memory Selection: “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the in increase.”—l Corinthians 3:6-7. Lesson Text: Acts -18:18-28. This lesson deals with a very significant period in Paul’s missionary activities namely, the establishment of two churches in important cities—that of Corinth and Ephesus. It also points out a very pertinent fact—that it does not take one of any particular training or education to do the Lord’s work—and do it well. For it was during Paul’s travels that he met with Priscilla and Aquila, who were humble and relatively unlettered tent makes (Paul’s own original calling). Nevertheless, this woman and this man were to play an important part (in their humble way) in furthering the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For they were firm believers, and they practiced the doctrine of Christianity on every occasion that presented itself to them. Thus the hospitable offer of shelter to Paul and his companion during their sojourn in Ephesus. Their house was, indeed, a “church”—as so many homes were in those days. The contribution they made to the doctrine of Christianity may, in no uncertain way, be measured by the fact that Paul invited Priscilla and Aquila to be his companions in his field of service to the Lord. Thus it is amply demon strated, once again, that God gives to all people certain skills—certain values in His cause. It is how those skills and those values are employed that makes the difference. The value of a person, in His eyes, lies in the service which is to be performed. Every Chris tian should be acutely aware of his own sig nificance in the purposes of God—and he should also be acutely aware of the significance of other persons, for there is potential worth in every human being, and Christian service in volves many people. Among them there must be an interaction and an interdependence in order to get the job at hand completed effec tively. Os this interdependence, the one upon the other, Paul was acutely aware. True, he stood head and shoulders above the crowd, but, just as the farmer plants his crops, he is dependent on Mother Nature to nurture them to fruition, so was Paul dependent upon others in the fur therance of the GospeL The work performed by the Priscillas and the Aquilas was essential to the reality of his mission. And he never to acknowledge this fact, or the courage that was often exhibited in the performance of Christian duties. Such courage was exhibited when Priscilla and Aquila, hearing Apollos make his presenta- Cootinned on Page 11 BELK - TYLER’S EDENTON’S SHOPPING CENTER W. E.

They’ll be home next week, and I’m certainly going to tell them how much they’ve been missed here at the church. T.ilrft all ministers, I need a lot of help from my congregation to make our church a happy, inspiring place. Sinclair and his wife are just two of the many older members that keep things running smoothly. I depend on them for good ideas, for experienced ad ministration and, very often, for a wise approach to young people’s problems. In return, the Sinclairs have often told me how important their church has been in their lives, and how they both enjoy being needed. That’s one of the great secrets of life, I think . . . to be needed. And there isn’t a church anywhere that doesn’t have a real need for "senior citizens” to help with God’s work.
