Greeting FB Members and Friends
Thanks for joining me for another edition of Fine Points and welcome back. It has been less than a month and another member from the same family has been removed from our presence. First it was Sis. Glennie Rorie and early Saturday morning it was her sister Sis. Ruth Rorie Haskins. The funeral service for Sis. Haskins is set for 1:00 pm Wednesday with a viewing one hour before the service begins. Let’s do our best to comfort and support the family during this time. Sis. Frances Walls is also in declining health so let’s be prepared to be there for her family in the event of her passing.
I want to thank all of you for your prayers and support for Min. Duncan in my absence. From what I was told everything turned out fine. Our Advisory Council will meet this evening at 6:00 pm. I looking for all Council members to be there. I want to thank the members and ushers who were on hand to welcome the Zion Association for Shaw Day. It turned out nice and they were pleased with our hospitality. The Health Ministry Advance Directive workshop was very informative as I suspected it would be. If you want more information about getting an Advanced Directive for yourself or a loved one, then reach out to Sis. Muirhead for more information.
I will be conducting a Financial Workshop for members and friends in September. It will be designed to help participants to make good and wise choices that will provide the best outcomes for ourselves and our families. So, don’t miss it when it comes. Homecoming and Revival is set for Sunday, August 12th through Friday, August 17th. Dr. Robert Sanders and the Piney Grove West congregation will be our guest for Homecoming. Rev. Joseph McFarlan, pastor of the Macedonia MBC in Cheraw, SC will be the guest preacher for the week. Let’s continue praying for a move of God that will bless us with what we need to be faithful and successful in His service.
And now a few final thoughts from yesterday’s message “Living With God”. As Jesus final hours approached with His disciples, He wanted them to know that though His physical presence would not be with them, He was not going to abandon them and leave them as orphan children. He would continue to be with them in the person of the Spirit of Truth or Holy Ghost whom the world could not receive or see, but His disciples would be able to both see and receive Him. And in doing so, both Jesus and the Father would also be with them and would be together forever. This would only happen however if they loved him and kept His commandments.
If a person does not keep Jesus commandments it is because they don’t know them or they don’t love him. Living with God then is not something people will do in the by and by, but it is what the people of God are doing as the live now. Death does not begin life with God, but the people of God are sustained right through it. Death has no power to end their life with God. God has given us the power and privilege to live with God now. If we refuse to live with Him now, there will be no start living with Him then. I invite you to listen to the sermon again and leave a comment on my blog. Well, that’s all for now. Have a good week and I hope to see you Sunday, if not before, if the Lord so wills. So, until then,
Blessings and Peace
Pastor Jordan
