Jones is club reporter. because of sin and in meeting this opposition we must determine in our own lives how much we are willing to give to the glory of God, how much are we willing to extend ourselves to get people to see and understand that Christ is our foundation, our life, and our everlasting life. In the scripture, we see a young Stephen, who was appointed as a deacon and went on to become a minister of God. A young man who looked into the synagogues and surrounding areas and saw that things weren’t what they were supposed to be. Stephen went in and preached the gospel of Christ, how Christ had given His life in order that we might have eternal life, how Jesus Christ is the finish of our salvation. The people became very angry with Stephen, they didn’t want to hear what Stephen was saying, they didn’t want the truth but Stephen was willing to die for Christ and kept on preaching the truth, for the Holy Spirit was speaking through him. How much are we willing to give. The 55th verse says that Peter looked into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, right .then he knew that his life was at an end, for God allowed him to see the place where he was going, God gave him a vision. The people didn't want to hear the truth and they stoned Stephen. We should be willing to give our lives for Christ, for if we die in Christ we will have another life in heaven. We need to get serious about our salvation for it’s nothing to take lightly, for now is the time tomorrow may be too late. The service was closed with the hymn “Calvary” followed by. altar prayer and the benediction. HALIFAX MISSIONARY Sunday school began at 9:30 a.m. with each class in charge of their lesson.
