BIBLE MEMORY WORK |
TODAY
Bondservants For Jesus' Sake
"For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus' sake."
2 Corinthians 4:5
1. The Work Of Preaching
- The Lord Jesus Himself spoke of how His Father had sent Him to preach.
- This was a command given by the Lord to His disciples.
2. The Content Of Our Preaching
- It is centered in Christ!
- It is never centered in man!
3. Bondservants For Jesus' Sake
- Bondservants = slaves.
- Compelling reason why we should serve the Lord in this manner - "For Jesus' sake".
NEXT SUNDAY
Workers Together With Him
"We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain."
2 Corinthians 6:1

One of the reasons why we want to celebrate our Church's Anniversary is for the sake of the next generation! Let us determine to teach them the lessons that we have learned as we look back 36 years of the Lord's blessings! What are some of these precious lessons?
Lesson #1: "By My Spirit"
"This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:
'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,'
Says the Lord of hosts!"
Zechariah 4:6
A. Drawing Thoughts From The Scriptures!
1. Not By Might Nor By Power
This is a reference to human might and power!
2. By My Spirit
YES!
B. Appreciation And Application
1. Let Us Appreciate This Wondrous Truth!
- God is deeply involved in our Church.
- His Spirit is touching many lives!
2. Let Us Teach The Next Generation

1. Commitment Of The Youth Conference
- To preach the truth.
- To apply the truth.
- To help people find the freedom that Jesus promised.
2. Challenge To All At Bethany

POETRY CORNER |
LEAVE GOD TO ORDER
Leave God to order all thy ways,
And hope in Him whate'er betide;
Thou'lt find Him, in the evil days,
Thine all-sufficient Strength and Guide,
Who trusts in God's unchanging love
Builds on the Rock that naught can move!Only thy restless heart keep still,
And wait in cheerful hope, content
To take whate'er His gracious will,
His all-discerning love hath sent,
Nor doubt our inmost wants are known
To Him who chose us for His own.He knows when joyful hours are best,
He sends them as He sees it meet,
When thou hast borne the fiery test,
And now are freed from all deceit,
He comes to thee all unaware,
And makes thee own His loving care.Sing, pray and swerve not from His ways;
But do thine own part faithfully.
Trust His rich promises of grace,
So shall they be fulfilled in thee.
God never yet forsook at need
The soul that trusted Him indeed.George Neumark
(translated by Catharine Winkworth)
