Singing with Inspiration – Lesson 1: The Influence of Materialism

Sabbath School Net Posted on by avatar

Welcome to 2018 and the study of “The Life of a Christian Steward” in our first quarters Lesson studies.

To go against the grain of the beliefs and practices of this world, we may make our theme song
Hymn 316, “Live Out Thy Life Within Me”.
With this in place, Jesus’ love will shine to all those we meet.

In Deuteronomy 8:10-14 on Monday, we are asked not “to forget the Lord your God”. We may remember this by singing
Hymn 317, “Lead Me to Calvary”.

Tuesday shows us that our eyes are the lamp of the body. We may ask the Lord for help in
Hymn 595, “Let Every Lamp Be Burning Bright” and
Hymn 326, “Open My Eyes That I May See” and then
Hymn 426 “I Shall See the King” – .

To refrain from the “Love of Self” on Wednesday, an apt hymn is
Hymn 570, “Not I, But Christ”.

God’s blessings to you in this, the first week of the new year of 2018.

Mark 8:36: “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and lose his own soul?”

About Corinne Knopper

Coming from a musical family, Corinne developed an interest in church music at an early age in New Zealand.

She also played in the Waratah Brass, The Australian National Brass Band Champions. During this time she has also taught trumpet and cornet. She has also combined her music skills with computing to produce brass band and orchestral scores.

Singing with Inspiration – Lesson 1: The Influence of Materialism — 2 Comments

  1. Thanks Corrine, My male cousins play in church, none of them could read music. The older one died about 3 years ago, but then the younger one – after playing piano for my mother on her one hundredth birthday last October; died that night and shocked us all. The remaining brothers are a little lost without him as even though they know nearly all the hymns in the hymn book and lots more, it was the younger brother who led the tempo. So I have found that your selection helps the other brothers tremendously as they are able to pick from your selection which relates to the lesson to be taught, and they are now a lot more comfortable in playing what they are able to recall easily and relax and enjoy themselves. This is catching, and we love to listen while we sing.
    Godbless today, Mrs A Stolz

  2. Hi Mrs Stolz
    Thank you for the family background on the wonderful musical gifts your family have been able to share in the Norfolk Church for such a long time.
    As long as the Good Lord says to keep this little spot of music on the internet, I will be willing.
    I can’t wait to get to Heaven and see all these amazing musicians who have loved sharing their faith in Jesus through music. Such a God-given talent that can be shared with so many others, just as much as preaching is a wonderful God-given talent.
    God’s blessings to you all on Norfolk for 2018
    Corinne

At a camp meeting 40 years later, I happened to see Dr. I. demonstrating some kind of health product, if I remember correctly. (In my mind, I see only the image of him, much older, but still looking much like he did when I was a student, with a friend by my side.) I lingered a little but did not introduce myself. I briefly wondered whether he recognized me. I’m fairly sure that I was as recognizable to him as he was to me.

Had he changed? Or did he still feel superior in his “humility”? Should I talk to him? I didn’t know how to approach him, and was busy with friends. I still don’t know whether I should have said something. (Maybe I’m just a coward.)

If God wants him to see my story, his and my identity are clear enough in this post, that God can direct him to it.
