After the holidays the con- gregation gathered Sunday morning for worship. Doug and Martha Butler ministered singing Through It' All, followed with It Wouldn't be Enough. Rev. C. J. Williams spoke from Galations 6:6-9 a well known warning from God. Be not deceived in our spiritual walk. The nearer we get to the coming of the Lord the more vehement will be the attacks of the devil to deceive the church, of which we Chris- tians are a part. If we allow ourselves we can be deceived. 1 Corinthians 12:10 lists spiritual gifts God gives to Christians. One is discerning of spirits. If we allow wrong spirits to come into our lives we can be deceived. The people of God have been loosed from the devil's kingdom, now they will be conscious of an in- creased attack from the enemy. Because the devil hates to lose his property, no Christian is free from his at- tack. How can we recognize these deceptions when they come? 1 John 3:7 warns not to let any man deceive us, as man , may deceive us. The ones who can deceive us most of all can be those we trust. The way to know if we are being led right is that those who are righteous produce righteousness. God has -made a provision for us not to be deceived, through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Remember it is God who is paying the wages. If we are obedient and faithful to God we will not be easily deceiv- ed. Studying God's Word faithfully helps one to be ap- proved and faithful to God. Sunday evening Rev. C.J. Williams ministered from Mark 10:46-52. This man Bar- timaeus lived in a dark dismal world with everything seeming the same. Then Jesus Came. Luke 7:12 tells of a widow losing her son. Then Jesus came. How many times do we face the death of our plans and ambitions? Sometimes the most impor- tant thing in our lives fails and we give up. John 12 tells of Lazarus dying, with sisters Mary and Martha giving up in despair. Asbelievers we need to be on guard not to let our hope go down. The Lord sympathizes with us just as He did with Martha and Mary. They thought it was too late, but it is never too late when Jesus comes. Jesus is in charge of every situation. He did not come to just sympathize, for us to lean on, but to change the circumstances. Because Jesus is life, He is able to pro- duce the counter -action to death. He can resurrect our plans, as He did Lazarus. Jesus comes to bring us life, joy to our lives, to lift our spirits, and to bring peace. Time to quit Are you having difficulty quitting smoking?

William and Gloria Gaither, "God's Redeeming Love." The Humility and Gentleness of the Saviour" was Mr. ,Brown's sermon theme. From the day of His baptism at the blinds of John the Baptist, Jesus humbled Himself in His great desire to "do all that God requires", and so honour His Father. In response, the Father honoured Him as He spoke His words of approval from Heaven and sent His Holy Spirit to empower His Son for His new ministry. Jesus' ministry was characterized also by humili- ty and by gentleness. Isaiah foretold of the Messiah that The would not break off a bent reed." Jesus fulfilled this pro- phecy as He dealt gently with Judas even in his betrayal, and with Peter in his denial. Similarly today Jesus deals gently and patiently with those whose faith has been bruised by the circumstances of their lives.
