HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1985-10-30, Page 26i Page 14A October 30, 1985 Revival Centre Rev. Roger Mason spoke Sunday morning from 1 Corinthians 13:11 that when one becomes a man, one does away with childish things. Paul tells these people that when a person becomes an adult one puts away these childish attitudes. Some people emotionally and in their attitudes never do away with their childish behaviour. Paul said with great effort and struggle he had set aside his childish behaviour, mak- ing them inoperative. Then in his pre- sent experience he was benefitting from this action. One attitude an adult should not have is total dependence on someone else. As a child grows up a parent must surrender more authority to him. When a new believer comes in the church, he needs help and super- vision from mature Christians because they do not have spiritual education. Eventually this new believer learns how to grow in the Lord in the church, on their own. All Christians remain dependent on Jesus Christ. Another trait of children is self cen- tredness. Man is not number one, nor is he god, with everything revolving around him. Instead all should revolve around God. Even worship service sometimes is for the people, while it should be toward God. Divi- sion in the church comes from self centredness. Even immorality comes from a self centredness attitude. Put- ting Go first in one's life removes this childish attitude. God wants Chris- tians to put away childish attitudes to grow in Christ. Sunday evening Rev. Roger Mason opened the service leading in chorus singing. Rev. Mason introduced the Harmony Bell Choir, from Wallaceburg Baptist Church. They played lovely brass bells in songs por- traying We See the Hand of God. The choir song leader led the con- gregation in singing Father, I Adore You in two part harmony. Their open- ing number played on the bells was Brethren, We Have Met to Worship. After a choir leader read Acts 20:34-35, a choir member read a theme that we see the hand of God in the goodness of His people. This stressed that as Christians we are to reach out to touch people for the Lord Jesus in word and in what we do. The choir played Largo. After reading Psalm 31:5, a choir member read about we see the hand of God in personal protection, as . Jesus meets all our needs, using scripture illustrations. They then played The Lord's My Shepherd. Reading Psalm 111:4-5 and 7 preceded reading of Christians in a nuclear aye. This summed up the con- dition of wars on the earth before the coming of Jesus, with the promise of a new heaven and a new earth for those who know Christ as King. This showed that we see the hand of God in the events of history. The Harmony • Bell Choir played their closing number, Rejoice, the Lord is King. The song leader taught a new song, He is Lord of All. Rev. Mason closed in prayer.
