Rev. Roberts
guest pastor
at United
Greeters at Blyth United Church
Sunday, Aug. 8 were Vera Badley
and Ken Hamm. Ushers were Lois
van Vliet and Les and Shirley
Rutledge. The guest minister, Rev.
John Roberts, opened the service
with call to worship and prayer.
The hymn 'Praise Ye Servants of
God' was sung, followed by Prayer
of Confession. The responsive
reading from Psalm 46, God is for
us a refuge, was read.
For the children's story Rev.
Roberts had a plain silver cup, an
old pop bottle, and a gold watch.
Due to the small number of
children he asked the choir, "How
much would you give me for
each?"
The silver cup, although plain to
the eye was won by Rev. Robert's
father for singing in Wales and so
is precious to him.
The old pop bottle (an antique)
was over 80 years old. At the time
the pop was purchased it was worth
10 cents. Now it is a precious
antique.
The gold watch was passed to
Rev. Roberts by his father. Rev.
Robert's grandfather won it lawn
bowling then gave to his son.
These three precious items are
now treasures of the Roberts'. Jesus
is precious to us all, he said. He is a
treasure to the Kingdom of God.
Traditions from generations have
changed. But things cannot always
stay the same.
How do we know the church is
going in the right direction, Rev.
Roberts asked? What is our guiding
light?
The church is going in the right
direction when it understands and
reads the scriptures and follows its
directions, he said. Jesus said these
people honour me with their lips
but not their hearts.
Christianity is not worship at
sacred times, in sacred places or by
doing sacred acts. The whole of
sacred life is christianity, Rev.
Roberts said. One cannot divorce
christianity. We cannot act one way
on Sunday in church and another
way Monday in our regular life.
We change on Sunday, we dress in
our finest clothes and behave our
best, he said. Then on Monday in
everyday clothes we may act
differently.
A true Christian does not do this.
Some believe christianity to be a
private act but it must be a public
matter, Rev. Roberts said. God
wants us to be visible.
When we can put ourselves in
others' place, walk in their
footsteps or their life, even for one
moment, our church will be
preserved in gospel for ever, Rev.
Roberts said.
Rev. Roberts closed with prayer
and the Lord's Prayer was said.
The hymn 'Will Your Anchor
Hold?' was sung as the final hymn.
