Out of the Blue
/in Bulletins, News, PastoralHave you ever had someone do something nice for you that was totally unexpected? Something you could say was “out of the blue”? Today I will be sharing a story of someone who did just that to me and my family when I was a young boy, and I never forgot it. Today is a special day for our church. It is a time when once a quarter we remember and celebrate the greatest act to humanity by our loving Saviour Jesus Christ. 2000 or so years ago, Jesus came to this earth and died to take our place so that we don’t have to bear the eternal consequences of sin. This cost Jesus everything and all we have to do is accept His free gift to each of us. Our communion service once a quarter is a time for us to remember Him and to say thank you by washing each other’s feet and taking part in the emblems of his body and blood. My prayer is that here, today, you take the time to thank God for what He’s done for us and what He will do for us someday soon, out of the blue..
Celebration of Fathers
/in Bulletins, News, PastoralA few weeks have past where we’ve been enjoying the various camp meetings that happen for our church in the province. Before that, in May, we celebrated Mother’s day and the sermon was about 3 things we learned from an unlikely story in the Bible about Mothers. Today in June, we celebrate fathers, so whether you’re a father, grandfather, step-father, soon-to-be father, or you play a father-like role in someone’s life we wish you a happy Father’s day! We thank God for you and wish to convey our deepest gratitude for everything you do. It’s not easy being a father at times, but our families and communities look to us to be strong role models for our young people. For today’s sermon we will be looking again at a character in the Bible and the lessons we can all learn about being a good role model. We hope you’re blessed by our service today and we encourage everyone to take a moment this weekend to thank your fathers for all they do.
Alexander the Great
/in News, PastoralAlexander the Great was ruler of Macedonia at age 16, a victorious general at 18, and king at 20 — he then died from alcohol before age 33. After Alexander began a second night of carousing in Babylon with 20 guests at table, he drank to the health of every person at the table. Soon he fell to the floor, was fever-stricken, and — a few days later in 323 BC — was dead. Perhaps one of the most fascinating facts about Alexander is that the Bible predicted his rise and fall in the book of Daniel – back in 600 BC; almost 300 years earlier! Friends, you can trust God. He knows your story and has a plan to take us all to a better place with Him someday soon. Who knows what will happen 300 years from now!? All we do know is that God does know and for those who choose Him today, may we be in eternity by then.
Camp Meeting in Simcoe
/in Bulletins, News, PastoralToday, the Southern Ontario district of Seventh-day Adventists is having a camp meeting in Simcoe. It’s a time to come together and see old friends and make new ones from all over our southern region. Bronte is open as well and we’re happy you came because we have a great speaker who will be sharing a message today! Richard is one of our Elders, is newly married, and is someone we appreciate having on the leadership team here at the church. I’m sure God has prepared a special blessing for those of you who came, and my prayer is whatever comes your way in life, you choose to remain connected to the vine (John 15).
Experiencing God
/in Bulletins, News, PastoralLast weekend we spoke about Mother’s Day and I pray that each of you took the opportunity to share your gratitude with your mothers this past week. Today we have a special guest speaker with us, Dr. S. Joseph Kidder, who will be speaking to us on the subject of “Experiencing God”. Last night we learned about how we can experience God through the power of prayer, this morning about experiencing God’s grace, and for our main service, Dr. Kidder will be sharing his personal life’s testimony about growing up in Iraq, how he met Jesus Christ and how that changed his life forever. He is a powerful speaker, seminary professor and author! I pray that each of us would be willing to open our hearts to experience God in a new and powerful way this weekend.
Mothers Day
/in Bulletins, News, PastoralToday we’re celebrating Mothers, so whether you’re a mother, grandmother, step-mother, soon-to- be mother, or you play a mother-like role in someone’s life we wish you a happy Mother’s day! We thank God for you and wish to convey our deepest gratitude for all you do. One of my favorite authors, Rudyard Kipling once wrote, “God could not be everywhere, and therefore He made mothers.” God has a special place for you in His heart and He uses you to play a vital role in the well-being of others. We hope you’re blessed by our service today and we encourage everyone to take a moment this weekend to thank your mothers for all they do.
Children’s Day
/in Bulletins, News, PastoralToday we’re having a children’s day. We are very proud of our little ones and have a great children’s program downstairs each week but today we want to give them a chance to share their talents with all of us upstairs. Jesus has a special place in His heart for children, let’s continue to support and pray for them as they learn and grow in Christ.
