9: Ministry in the New Testament Church – Singing with Inspiration
Sabbath afternoon’s introduction has Matthew 28:18-20 giving us
Hymn 378, “Go, Preach My Gospel” – the Great Commission, known as our Mission Statement. We may then request
“Baptize Us Anew”, Hymn 258.
Hymn 346, “Lord, Who Dost Give to Thy Church” encourages our Pastors, and also those who are like Dorcas, “helping the needy their burdens to bear”.
Our giving is seen in
Hymn 572, “Give of Your Best to the Master” on Tuesday. We ask God’s blessings on the gifts we bring to God and our neighbours in
Hymn 686, “Bless Thou the Gifts”.
Paul’s words of living and loving well are shown to us in
Hymn 581, “When the Church of Jesus”,
Hymn 582, “Working, O Christ, With Thee”and
Hymn 584, “There’s a Spirit in the Air”.
In Thursday’s study, James 1:22 NIV tells us to “Do what it says” with my response being
“I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go”, Hymn 573.
The quote from Mrs Ellen G White about the miracle of grace, closing our lesson study on Friday, gives our final hymn of “Marvelous Grace”, Hymn 109.
The Lord bless you and keep you, and make His face to shine upon you, and give you peace”.
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
