Olympic Gold, sermon topic
The service of worship on
Sunday, July 28 at Blyth United
Church was conducted by Rev.
Stephen Huntley. Organist was
Michael Duthie, director of music.
Joann McDonald and Lenora
Davidson welcomed the
worshippers. Ushers were Harvey
McDowell, Graham Jackson and
Harvey Snell.
Following the Call to Worship,
"Celebration Song" accompanied
by Rev. Huntley on guitar,
welcome and announcements was
the hymn All Creatures of Our God
and King. The prayer of Confession
was repeated in unison.
The children's hymn was Jesus,
Friend of Little Children. The
Psalm 121 "I Life up My Eyes to
the Hills"was read.
Erica Clark read the Old
Testament lesson Genesis 29: 15-
28 and New Testament lesson from
Romans 8: 26-39.
Rev. Huntley read the Gospel
from Matthew 13: 31-33, 44-52. He
chose "Olympic Gold" as his
sermon topic. What counts in life,
he said, is not what people acquire,
but what they become. He referred
to the story of the Nigerian boxer,
who begged the Canadian Coach
on his knees in 1994, to be on the
Canadian Olympic Boxing team.
He would do anything to be a
member.
Had Jesus lived now rather than
in AD 30, today's gospel might
have been very different, Rev.
Huntley said. Rather than talk
about a pearl merchant who
sacrificed all to buy a dream pearl,
or a farmer who sold all to buy a
field with a treasure in it, Jesus
might have talked about the
Nigerian boxer who sacrificed all
to make the Olympic team.
What do these three people have
in common? One thing is their total
commitment to a dream, to a goal
they have set for themselves. This
leads us to the point that Jesus
wishes to make in the gospel, Rev.
Huntley said. "Citizenship in God's
Kingdom involves total commit-
ment on our part. We must make it
the top priority of our life."
Being a Christian is like all of
these, he said. It involves total
commitment and dedication. But
there is one big difference between
a Christian and the other three. Paul
refers to it in a letter to the
Corinthians 9: 25. They are all
perishable, but when the Christian
dies, the Kingdom of God will

shine brighter and brighter.
At the moment of death there is
