What is meant by service in the great sermon ? This is answered in the last section of this great address Applied Authority In this sermon on the mount is a vivid description of twodifl'erent con ditions or states, the hearer and the doer. It can be compared as the Lord compared it to two foundations. The hearer only is likened unto a man who built his house upon a founda tion of sand. Something that would bear the building if there were no rains, winds nor storms, but if any of the incliment elements enveloped it it was sure to fall for the reason that the shifting sands would not stand. And when adversity or trouble comes to the man who hears only his foundation willr.ot hold him up andhe will be destined to a fall. While on the other man who is also a hearer, but is also a doer; in addition to hearing he is a doer. He fulfills the commandments of God as he hears them. He then is like a man who built his house upon the solid rock And then the storms could blow and the rains pour upon it but it would not fall for it was on a solid founda tion. What then when applied to our lives is the rock foundation. It is no other than Jesus Christ. When we build upon the solid rook, Jesus, the storms of adversity and temptations may come but we are ur.able to over come all them and emerge victorious over all. Which foundation are we building upon? Are we on the sure iwunce the birth, Dec. 2nd, of twins j Thomas Haywood. The following couples have launch ed their ship on the sea of matri mony during the past few days: November 29th by L. T. Peed, Or dinary, Miss Bessie Lou Hobbs to Mr. D. R. Theus. November 29th by L. T. Peed, Or dinary, Miss Eva Carter to Mr, the greatest learning and greatest teachers of the day. One of the es pecial truinii.g that he had had was in the way of the Lord. He was also a disciple of John the Baptist. It is very probable that he had heard and seen the great forerunner. Lt is an evident fact that he knew the duties of repentance and faith in the Mes siah. His knowledge was not perfect for he appears not to have known anything of the earthly history of Jesus nor of the appearing and work of the Holy Spirit. It happened that Aquilla and l’racilln heard him speak in the Jewish synagogue and perceiv ed what was lacking in him and took him and told in a more uccurate way to him the ways of God. They had been fellow workers with Paul at Corinth and were well acquainted with the gospel story and they giau ly told Apollos that the Messiuh that he was preaching had already come Apollos As u Teacher He was of great knowledge of the scripture. He was well versed in the Old Testament and knew how to use it. He used it not only as an argu ment to man but us an appeal to them as well. The Messianic message plowed under his interpretation when he learned that Christ had already made his advent his faith was then well rounded to include both forecast and fact. During his whole life he was right so far as he knew and when he was acquainted with the whole truth he preached it with a great zeal. He was a speaking with confidence and conviction and it "’as widening and deepening ull the time. Apollos As Missionary As a disciple of John the Baptist he came to Ephesus apparently on a preaching tour througb Asia Minor. When his faith and knowledge had been expanded by Pricilla ar.d Ac- quilla who were lately from Corinth he desired to go over to the capital city at Achai. His brethren heartily agreed with him on taking this step and wrote for him letters of recom mendation to the church at Corinth When he reached Corinth he began his preaching among them, he helped the Corinthians by co-operating with them in their defense of the Gospel. In doing this he was involved in a dispute with the Jews. He showed these Jews by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ. The Golden Text The thought from the Golden Text first is that we have the word of truth recorded in the Holy book for our own use and in the reach of all. The Bible isthe most widely read book of all books and is published in more languages and dialects than any other book. It is our edification for individuals and for the church. foundation, Jesus, or are we building >The Bible is God’s voice calling men both boys ar.d each in fine physical condition. » _ Master John Pennington, of Americus, spent the Thanksgiving holidays with his mother, Mrs. J.

Authority Accepted When the sermon on the mount was concluded the assembled multi tude accepted his authority. They were amazed not only at what he taught but in the way in which he taught. They felt in their very be ing that what Jesus said was God’s own truth. They readily perceived and acknowledged that Christ far surpassed the scribes. Apollos Apollos was a Jew and was proud of his heritage as one of God’s chos en people. He was a native of the city of Alexandria in the northern part of Egypt. It was at Alexandria that the 6id Testament was translated into Greek and be"ame the version to be used. Apollos was a highly educat ed man and very earnest in spirit showing that he was a man who pei- formed his convictions As a Learner As a Jew Apollos had become well versed in the Old Testament. As an Alexandrian he came in contact with impres- ive story: A young father and moth er, each holding the hand of the two- year-old baby, walked into an im mense wheat field of golden grain to enjoy its beauty together. Suddenly it was discovered that neither held the hand of the baby. A frantic search began with neighbors from everywhere joining. Seventy - four hours had passed when one man said lets join 1 hands and make a human comb around this field.” Soon one ol them stumbled on a little lifeless form. The father cried in anguish, “why did we not join* hands sooner?” Joining hands, Mrs. Roberts added has lifted the church debt, and shall lead us into deeper spirituality for the new year.

The Bible is the only book written by divine inspiration, therefore it is our religious duty to read it and learn of him. If we are to witness for Christ at our best we must have some knowledge. Trying to witness for God without knowl edge of him and fils will concerning us is like having a pocket book and nothing to put in it. The empty pock et book will get nothing for us. Neither will our witnessing for God accomplish anything for our own good unless we have some knowledge of what we are to witness for and then not put that knowledge to use. Teach with Authority And if vve are to do this we must be in possession of authority, and the only way to get this is through study of God’s will concerning us through prayer and studying of his printed word. We are in our own weak ways too prone to compromise with sin, but in all the Bible we wilt not find one line or word of compromise with sin of any kind or description. The Bible is from above and is the voice of God. Teaching We are told that “everyone hear- eth these sayings of mine and doeth them ” If we aim or try to teach the truth we must know the truth. If we are to know the truth we must be ac quainted with him who imparts the truth To know God we must hear him. God imparts his will to those who have an attentive ears, seems eyes, retentive minds and a faithful heart. Use Skill in Teaching the Scriptures In the beginning of our teaching we realize that Jesus was “mighty in the scriptures.” Apollos knew the scriptures, and knew how to use them. He overcame opposition with the scriptures. The Bible Will always win its way over the hearts and lives of men if it is given an opportunity. Teach Industriously “Being fervent in spirit”. Cold Im personal instruction is the same as r.o instruction at all The cold and indifferent intellect can never have the inflcer.ee that one with a warm and suny personality can wield. One had as well be headless as heartless. Jesus was always sympathetic. So must we be if we are to count most in this world. Teach Accurately “He spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus.” In out studying and teaching of the Bible lets not try to put something in it that is not there or take away that which is contained therein. The word of God has been given to us accurate ly. Let it be perfected and taught ac curately. Many Godly and inspired men have spent their lives in giving us a true version of the scriptures. Lets not fail them in an incorrect teaching of same. Be Courageous “He began to speak boldly in the synagogue.” Sometimes the truth as it is does not suit us, and we wish that it was some other way. Some hearers may rebell at it hut that is not for us to decide. Our duty is to proclaim the truth as it is. Let us not be cowardly in that we will fail to speak the truth as it is. Lets have the courage to speak the truth at all times Teach Convincingly A religious talk may or may not be pleasing but at least it can be con vincing. If error should slip in lets correct it wtlh divine truth. In our Now Is The Time To.

MOORE STORE Butler and Fickling Mill Road teaching experience we will find that there is time for personal instruction face to face. Just the teacher and the layman face to face and there is a time for public teaching. In which ever place our lot may be cast, or if it be both lets use as much fervor in talking to one as to thousands. At all times lets show by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ. That fact alone is the great central truth of the Bible. In both the Old and new Testament Jesus is the central fig ure The truth that radiates from him is supreme for all time and Into eternity. Why should we try to di vert its meaning? Who would try to reflect just one ray of light from the divine illumination? If we are going to teach let us teach the whole truth and nothing but the truth as it is in Jesus Christ. ,
