with Nigel and Collette Lacey from
Caronport Saskatchewan. Nigel
played the guitar and the piano and
together with his wife - • made
beautiful music.
The songs they chose were based on
scripture passages - Isaiah 6 verses
1 through 9 prompted "Surely the
presence of the Lord is in this Place"
and "Spirit of the Living God." if you
remember the story, Isaiah was
allowed to glimpse Heaven, hear the
angels singing, feel the vibrations and
see God
immediately he recognized himself
as a sinful man and only after his lips
were cleansed and his sins forgiven
and removed, did God acknowledge
his presence. Then only then did
Isaiah receive his instructions.
The Laceys both. in their
testimonies, stressed the importance
of "coming apart and being
separate." Peter talks of the Holiness
of God that we should imitate that
Holiness to keep us completely apart
from sin and the sins of the world. The
basis of separation is cleanliness, con-
tinue to live as if we believe in a liv-
ing God, soften our hearts in the.w•ine .
of your blood. give us instant recogni-
tion to the One who walks beside us.

and a renewed faith in God's healing
powers.

Rev. Roger Mason conducted the
Sunday morning service. Rev. Mason
spoke from i Kings 21:1-7. illustrating
the sin of greed. King Ahab hated the
word no. He wanted Naboth's
vineyard. but Naboth refused to sell
it to him. Ahab went to his palace
bedroom. and pouted. as being king.
he Was used to getting anything he
wanted.
Ahab's wicked wife Jezebel had
Naboth killed. then gave the vineyard
to Ahab. But sin always has its con-
sequences. Ahab was killed in battle..
then Jezebel was thrown out a window
to her death.
With sin always comes sorrow and
destruction. We always suffer conse-
quences for sin, Proverbs 1:19 warns
the result of greed is death. Proverbs
21:26 tells us greed is the practice of
the wicked. Isaiah 56:11 says greedy
people never have enough. In I
Timothy 3:8 Paul states no church
leader should ever be greedy. In
Ephesians 4:18 Christians are warn-
ed not to walk as Gentiles 'walk( in
greed.
Rev. Mason prayed for all to ex-
amine themselves. to repent. and ask
God to cleanse and forgive them
before they partook of the communion
-served at the end of the service.
Sunday evening. Rev: Roger Mason
led the service. Rev. Mason
ministered from Mark :3:7-19. Christ's
ministry was a popular one among
the common people, as verses 7 to 9
show. Yet not everyone who followed -
Jesus believed in Him. but they were
attracted to Him. There are people
who attend and support the ministry
of the church, yet not surrender to or
be changed by God.
Peopleiamefrom. great -distances.
from Edom. Syria, Phoenicia. and
Judea to have their needs met by
Jesus. If a church meets the needs of
people they will come to the church.
Jesus had a healing ministry. The
sick were eager to touch- Him.
Spiritual healing for men's souls was
the most important part of Jesus'
ministry. In Mark 16:15-18 Jesus gave
His followers the commission to
preach the gospel. and to pray for the
sick to be healed.
Jesus' ministry was a delegated
one. After His resurrection . Jesus
knew one man could not carry on His
.ministry to the needs of the people. In
verses 13 to 14 Jesus called the 12 men
who He wanted to train and delegate
His ministry to. For three years the
disciples were apprentices under
Jesus' example and teaching. Jews
then sent them out to preach. heal the
sick. and cast out demon'
