The children greatly enjoyed the
challenge issued by Rev. Cook, to
stand on one leg and tell all what
they have learned in Sunday
School. Since that was a little
difficult he had them sit down and
then told them a story about a man
who offered gold to any rabbi who
could stand on one foot and tell
him what he needed to know about
God. So a few showed up and told
the man what they knew but the
wisest of the rabbis gave the most
complete answer - To Love God
with all your heart and to love your
neighbour as yourself.
He then had the kids stand on one
foot and repeat the verse.
Rev. Cook's sermon was called
Abide in Me. He started off his
sermon by asking, "Who is God?
Tell me what He is like. Describe
Him."
As far as God being explained in
the Bible as being this or that, it
only happens four times, he said.
He is Holy which can be
interpreted as meaning separate
from us, righteous, moral behavior
not like us yet walks with us.
Secondly, God is Spirit Breath of
life. He breathes life into us. Again
not like us but walks with us.
Man. resident
Thirdly, God is a consuming fire,
anyone who has eve- been close to
a forest fire knows what that feels
like. The harder the wind blows the
stronger the flames get. It can not
stay in one spot. This suggests to
Rev. Cook that fire must spread
and grow and go on forever.
Finally, God is Love. Love is an
active thing. We are to live in love,
to celebrate life. Paul suggests that
love is patient and kind, unselfish
and good.
Christ sent out an invitation to
abide in Him, Rev. Cook said.
Abide means io rest, to tarry in the
love of Christ. We are to imitate the
love of God in Christ, a love that
seeks out and remember that He
has sought us out and has
ransomed, healed and redeemed us.
The service concluded with the
singing of Saviour, Teach Me Day
by Day.
Rev. Cook went on to Bluevale
while many worshippers went
