Paul was God’s “chosen vessel” to spread the Good News of salvation to the Gentiles. Aim was that adult Christians determine to be faithful ministers of the New Covenant. “Happy Birthday” was sung by all in honor of Bea Peters as she place her contribution in our Birthday Bank. _o— At our Worship Service, Deacon Thomas H. Dilday welcomed the fine group gathered in God’s House to give thanks for His coun tless blessings. Following the opening exercises, he introduced our guest, minister, Rev. Robert Harrell, a native of Chowan County, now residing ap proximately 5 miles from us. He served in the U. S. Air Force and has pastored churches in North Carolina and Virginia. Presently, he’s assisting churches locally. In his opening remarks, Rev. Harrell stated that he felt he had some connection with Bandon in that while he was serving as Supt. of Missions, his membership was at Rocky Hock and he was on the Pulpit Com mittee which led to the calling of Rev. Garrett, who was instrumental in the establishment of Bandon Chapel. So true, We at Bandon consider Rocky Hock to be our “mother” church. Rev. Garrett and his people helped us in every way and he was always available when we needed advice or encouragement. Rev. Harrell’s most en joyable and informative message was “Let Your Life Reflect Your Words”, Mark 1:21-28. Brief resume follows: The early ministry of Jesus was in Capernaum and Galilee. Capernaum was a cosmopolitan town on the great trade route to Damascus. It was a city of Custom and Dues, where people paid for the privilege of carrying their goods through the city to other parts of the country. GOING PLACES? (Share a ride with a friend.) it \' ' *&4l ■ % ’ V*' ' ■,''r . .■■ *.=# I'.' Page 9-A There was a Roman Garrison there indicating it was a city of law and order. In his ministry Jesus was associated with the “common people” and these people heard Him gladly. There was in His teaching a freshness and power that was absent in the teachers of that time. The primary function of those teachers was to maintain the position of the Elders. Jesus’ primary concern was vital, living, dynamic relationship with God. Quite often Jesus felt the need to rebuke their piety and religiosity. He called them hypocrites. It was a very scathing ac cusation - pretending to be something they weren’t. So - the people said of Jesus “He teaches with authority” - no conflict between His Words and His manner of life - between Jesus, the teacher and Jesus, the man. Even though He associated with tax collectors, business tycoons, prostitutes, beggars, fisherman, wedding parties, etc., no one ever caught Him in a lie or in a compromising situation. When He spoke, it was with authority and people listened to what He had to say. There was no discrepancy between what He said and the life He lived. The words of the Church should be picked up with the life of the Church. It’s a troublesome thing to con template the other side of the card. Today, the Church, unfortunately, is what we say - not what we live. The call of God goes out to us this morning. We, too, can speak with authority if there is no conflict between the words we say and the way we live. I don’t know anything the world needs more today. Try it. —O— Friday is THE night!
