Roger Mason ministered from Colossians 1:15, concerning the invisi- ble God. Our whole life is learning more about God because God is so multifaceted..Romans 1:20 shows that God has revealed some of His character through nature that He has created. God reveals himself through man. God has chosen to create man in His own image, in Genesis 1:26-27. Man has a morality through cons- cience, although sin infected this. Men are triune beings with a social need. There is a spiritual aspect to man, and God is a Spirit. God created man to have fellowship with Him, but because of sin man has become cor- rupt, creating their own gods. God reveals Himself through His Word, the Bible. God saw that this Book was written down and preserv- ed. Man needs to know the author of this book to understand it. Doug Butler led the song service Sunday evening.

"History shows that those who achieve significance in life bear burdens victoriously" began Mr. Brown. Paul, bearing a heavy burden for the salvation of his fellow - Jews, was one of these. Yet many people in our day shun heavy respon- sibility and lay burdens aside. Acceptingsuch a God-given burden brings many blessings to our lives. It causes us to forsake unworthy goals in life such as pleasure, and the prestige which power and money bring. It calls forth the best within us, motivating us to reach towards a goal which is beyond our natural capaci- ty. It drives us close to the Lord as we recognize our .dependence on His wisdom and power. And it makes possible lifer's greatest joy as we see God working through us to bring His blessing to others.
