Doug Butler led the worship service
Sunday morning. Rev. Roger Mason,
from James 4:6 stressed that pride
can be a trait that is a sin. The Bible
tells us God hates pride. Proverbs
16:18 warns that pride goes before
destruction. Mark 7:22 lists pride as
a sin. Pride caused satan to rebel
against God.
Because every sin that is commit-
ted is based on a lie, the pride of
superiority is a lie. Jonah believed he
was superior and first refused to go
to preach to the Ninevites. Ninevah
was a very sinful harsh city Jonah
hated, so he did not want to see the
people repent. Jonah ran away from
God, thinking he was superior to the
sinful Ninevites,. until God brought
him to repent and go to Ninevah.
The pride of suffering can cause
people to think they can be more hum-
ble, holy, and godly, because they are
poor. They think they are supei;ior to
godliness because they suffer. Pover-
ty is not a virtue. •
Pride of non repentance is the most
common form of pride. even among
Christians. They find it hardlo admit
they are wrong. Facing the respon-
sibility of admitting wrong can be
painful. Unwillingness to admit
wrongdoing is the opposite to repen-
tance. Yet repentance is the -key to
victory over sin.
A person repents of sin to become
aChristian. He must admit his.pride
is wrong, repent of it, and se�dtk God's
forgiveness.
Doug Butler led the singing for the
evening service. Rev. Roger Mason
ministered from Mark 2:1-12. When
people carried a paralyzed man to the
house where Jesus was, for healing.
they could not get in for the crowd.
They carried the man up on the roof.
There they tore up the roof tiles, and
let the man down on his pallet in front
of Jesus.
When Jesus saw the faith of these
men, He declared the paralyzed
man's sins forgiven. These four men
went to a lot of trouble to get their
friend to Jesus. Sometimes there is
opposition to get people to Jesus. If we
want to see men exposed to the
message- of the gospel, we have to
take the trouble to do so. As God,
Jesus exercised His divine authority
to forgive this man's sins.
Jesus' ministry was teaching,
preaching, and healing. Jesus gives
this ministry to His followers. The
scribes - present were offended at
Jesus' forgiving the man, as they
knew only God could forgive sins.
They reasoned "How can this man
Jesus forgive sins?" This was con-
sidered blasphemy. They looked at--
Jesusas a common man. Jesus
discerned their thoughts, and ques-
tioned them, by asking which was
easier to declare' a man's sins
forgiven, or heal him.
. When peoplequestiorj esus' abili-
ty to forgive sins, thiy struggle with
guilt. When they study the scriptures
they find Jesus truly forgives their
sins. setting them free from guilt.

United church news
This Sunday morning at Lucan
United Church the importance of
building up the family of God was the
theme used by Rev. Jewell Shaule, in
her hymn choices. "Getting used to
the Family of God" was followed by
"Oh, How He Loves You and Me" to
"Tell Me the Old Old Story".
The Old Old Story, may be old in
terms of time - but new and very rele-
vant in terms of comfort and God's
assured love.
The children's story ,vas a measur-
ing tape = How the .children have
grown since birth, a possible 21" when .
born to the great height of whatever.
The children thought this great fun,
but Rev -Darrell Shaule's intent, was
to point . out, the importance of
spiritual growth. The Bible, as the
tape measure, just how each one had
progressed in that area.
The sermon taken from Joshua
6:1-27, Psalm 32 and Mark l:26-56 was
entitled "Take Courage, It is I, Do not
' afraid." mark 6:50.
irst of all were the instructions
given to Joshua concerning this wall,
the instructions he obeyed -without
hesitation or question. The battle
plan. seemed foolish and totally in-
adequate but the Bible does not tell
of any dissenters. These orders stret-
ched their faith but they obeyed. They
carried God with them and so they
