by the Ambassador Baptist College Men's Quartet (quintet!)
2/17/08 - Sunday School
We had the privelege of having these men come and minister to us through instrumental music this morning. For Sunday School, the five of them played different songs throughout the hymnal. The instruments played were piano, organ, violin, viola, and saw. Yes, I said saw and it was a real one. It had belonged to the young man's grandfather. It sounded very good, too!
We were a tad late so we missed the first few songs, but I'm so glad we got to hear most of them. I should have recorded it, it was so beautiful. I wrote down the song numbers, but forgot to look them up, so I will come back and write the song titles down then. It was very relaxing and moving to hear the hymns of the faith played so beautifully.
Beneath the Cross of Jesus
When We See Christ
I need Thee Every Hour
The Name of Jesus
Day by Day
Under His Wings
Safe in the Arms of Jesus
Near to the Heart of God
'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus
Each Step I Take
Yesterday, Today, Forever
My Faith Has Found a Resting Place

Humility
by Bro. McIntire
2/10/08 - Sunday School
James 4:1-10 , focusing on the last part of vs 9 and all of vs 10
The Lord delights in a contrite heart
As an example for our laughter being turned to mourning, he uses Eli & his sons. When they brought the Ark of the Covenant out to battle they all rejoiced because the Lord was with them - so they thought. Because of how Eli's sons had been behaving in the temple, the Lord was not with them and they lost the battle. Both of Eli's sons were killed, and then Eli fell off the wall when he heard of it. Their laughter turned to mourning.
Humility is our responsibility; it is a way of thinking
Isaiah 40:12-23 - This passage of scripture is really amazing. He expounded on the first few verses and it really just makes you go "Wow!" and really realize where you stand.
It talks about God measuring the waters of the earth in the palm of His hand. All the water on this earth ... in His hand.
He "meted out heaven with the span" ... with hand stretched out, thumb to pinky, that's how big our heavens / universe is in comparison to Him.
He "comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance". How big are the mountains to us? And He can just pick it up and put it on a scale.
When you think about all of this, really, we are nothing in comparison. Yet He sent His Son to come and die ... for us.
Grace = unmerited favor James 4:6,10
We don't desrve God's grace, yet He will bestow it upon us as we are humble before Him.
