00:13:26.720 - 00:14:08.640

[ Pause ] [Silence] Good morning. Good morning.

00:14:08.640 - 00:14:16.940

How are you this morning? Fine. Good, good. Well, we are going to talk about boasting.

00:14:16.940 - 00:14:37.180

Suppose you were like a little boy who went to visit his friend and he was given a billfold like this that the friend had made. He gave it to him. It was a gift.

00:14:37.180 - 00:15:00.980

And when he came back home he had the bill fold and he displayed it and he told people that he made it. When he was asked where did you get this bill he said oh I made it. Well now once he said that he made it well and someone else may ask him to make one like

00:15:00.980 - 00:15:21.320

it for them. of course if that is the case then he would probably be discovered and it would mean that he would either have to tell another falsehood to cover up that one and on and on it might go. Oh it could be that the friend who made the

00:15:21.320 - 00:15:52.440

billfold would come and while he was there someone would mention the fact that this billfold you made and he would be exposed before the friend as having not made it because he did not tell the truth. God wants us first of all to tell the truth and he wants us if we are to boast at all to boast only in the fact that God is good and that he helps us that

00:15:52.440 - 00:16:22.920

that he keeps us because there comes a time when we all must face the judgment, the judgment day, when we all must stand before God and he will consider the good things that we have done and also the bad things that we have done. So it behooves us to do good and to follow the example of Jesus Christ so that his life

00:16:22.920 - 00:16:42.640

may be the guide that we follow day by day. That's by our heads. You close your eyes. Oh God, help us to be faithful and true in all that we do.

00:16:42.640 - 00:16:51.020

We are going to just have a period of quietness and as we talk to God in our heart of hearts, every head bowed and in prayer as we go to the throne of grace in this time of prayer together. Oh gracious God, Father of us all, we thank you for all that you have done for us as shepherd of our souls.

00:20:42.140 - 00:21:17.180

bless your name for the gift of this day and for all of the gifts that nourish body and spirit. We bow reverently now seeking your forgiveness for the sins that we have committed. We pray that you would cleanse our hearts and our minds so that the time that we spend together here in this holy place may truly be a time of communion

00:21:17.180 - 00:21:49.980

with you and with each other through the leadership of your Holy Spirit. Oh Lord, have mercy upon every one of us and bless us. and grant unto us that love that runs from heart to heart and breast to breast, so that the world may know that we are truly disciples of the Christ.

00:21:49.980 - 00:22:33.260

We pray for the entire church family collectively and individually. We pray, O God, for those who are in hospitals and in homes who suffer from the infirmities of the flesh and of the spirit. We pray for the manifestation of your healing. We pray for the experience of your forgiveness. We pray for those who are in prison.

00:22:33.260 - 00:23:03.140

We pray for those who minister in your name, wherever they are, in churches here at home or in faraway places. Those who are not rightly related to you, you who walk in darkness and who seem to be satisfied with that journey. We pray

00:23:03.140 - 00:23:29.860

not only for ourselves, for our nation, but for all of the nations of this world. Lord have mercy upon us as we face the challenge of this week and equip us with your spirit that we may go forth to serve you in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we pray amen

00:30:14.520 - 00:30:30.080

We will have a number of messages there we will be represented in the Brotherhood and in the Missionary Union WMU It is quite an eventful

00:30:31.240 - 00:30:51.920

session and no doubt you have been reading about it. Let us be prayerful for the convention in Dallas. Also the Sunday school in BTU Congress meets this week in Denver, Colorado. Sister Gertrude Britton and Sister Rowena Jackson will be in attendance

00:30:51.920 - 00:31:09.840

representing our church in that particular session. We have just closed [Chambers] session of our District Congress at St. John Tabernacle. We had a glorious experience and

00:31:09.840 - 00:31:23.820

we had a number of participants from our training union who received awards and no doubt that has been and will be further recognized

00:31:23.820 - 00:31:46.820

in the training union sessions. We did well I understand we would have I think taken the prize for the district had we had one one person who was absent to show up and participate. But that's just one of those things of communication. But we want to commend the young people for the marvelous way that they

00:31:46.820 - 00:32:01.920

conducted themselves. And I want to express appreciation to those deacons who were present in the class which was taught by the pastor on deaconship

00:32:01.920 - 00:32:18.600

in that session. It was the largest enrollment we had in our Congress and we had a glorious session and we appreciate your support of it. You will notice in your bulletin that the law and investment

00:32:18.600 - 00:32:30.600

seminar is held today at five o'clock. The subject is Homestead rights and the leaders are

00:32:30.600 - 00:32:49.320

sister Marilyn Bailey and brother Melvin Wren. I think this is very important that we take advantage of the opportunity to become informed in these seminar sessions because most of us can

00:32:49.320 - 00:33:03.280

profit from the things that are shared with us there when it comes to improving our management of those resources with which we have been entrusted.

00:33:03.280 - 00:33:19.540

So, remember that this evening at five o'clock here at the church. I would like for the trustees and the deacons to remain for a few moments

00:33:21.220 - 00:33:44.640

regard, following the worship service particularly, it's particularly important. Brethren, don't rush away. We got, first of all, see that everything is locked up because the Janitor is not here today and we need to be sure that these responsibilities are shared and that the pastor isn't left here to do that.

00:33:44.640 - 00:34:03.980

But we want to have a session before we do that together. Some time ago I announced that I was filing suit against the August libel suit. That's been almost a year ago and I want to announce today that that trial will

00:34:03.980 - 00:34:34.180

begin tomorrow morning at the 167th District Court here in Austin.

"And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city,

00:49:21.720 - 00:49:36.620

supposing he had been dead. How be it, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up and came into the city, and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

00:49:36.620 - 00:50:07.920

And when they had preached the gospel to that city and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra and to Iconium and Antioch. confirming the souls of the disciples and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must, through much tribulation, enter into the kingdom of God. And when they

00:50:44.540 - 00:51:12.200

recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled. And when they were come and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. And there they abode long time with the disciples.
