3 Beloved in Christ, The Christian faith and message have much to do with stewardship based on giving. The bible is a book dealing much about God s giving. Whatever we have is only from God. We are only the trustees of His property and God wants us to be a good steward. We are accountable to God. The first Thanksgiving Day took place in the promised land, and its purpose is stated for us in Deuteronomy 26: When the people entered the promised land, they were to bring the first fruits of the land to God and give thanks to Him for all His blessings, (Deuteronomy 26: 1-11). In the second half of the chapter the people are to use their triennial tithe to minister to the Levites, foreigners, orphans, widows and people less fortunate that they have been (Deuteronomy 26: 12-19). The people who have been blessed of God are to a blessing to others. From this thanksgiving, we learn greater lessons for our Harvest Festival celebration. Worship is a central theme in Deuteronomy. In chapter 26 we are given unique account of Israelite praise; the occasion is the presentation of first-fruits, that season when the Hebrews brought their early and best produce as a thank offering to the Lord. The worshipper took some of the fruits from the soil of the land, puts it in a basket and goes to officiating priest, he can make a verbal confession of his indebtedness to God. This colorful narrative not only describes what was to happen in an agricultural community at a time of harvest thanksgiving it also embodies some important spiritual principles about worship. Whenever we offer sincere worship to the Lord we acknowledge His generosity, recall His faithfulness, honor His uniqueness, obey His commands, and affirm His truth. When the worshipper visits the appointed sanctuary with his basket of fruits, he is aware above all else of the abundant goodness of God. The man who brings his gifts knows only too well that unless the Lord had been generous to him, he would have nothing to offer. With a personal sense of gratitude each worshipper went on to make a verbal confession of his own indebtedness to God s power manifest in history. God who had provided the rain to water the earth and the bright sun to ripen the fruit which they now presented in their baskets. He was generous in what he had said, done and given and such generosity must be personally and publicly acknowledged in adoring worship and grateful thanksgiving. The first fruit basket symbolized the whole which they had brought with them, and represented the whole harvest yet in the field. God still claims first fruit of everything. It belongs to Him, even before it is harvested. In Deuteronomy 26: Moses says to the same people that they have been blessed to be a blessing to others. It must make some demand upon the worshipper. In offering the first fruits, they were presenting their best, and that best must be shared with others. We find the same great truths of Deuteronomy 26 summarized in Hebrew 15: Through Him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God that is the fruit of lips that acknowledge His name. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. Our thanksgiving gives glory to God and reflects God s generosity in us. Jesus Christ gave a great word of encouragement to the giver, Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For the measure, you use it will be measured back to you. Luke 6:38 May God bless us Rev. K. G Thomson 3 P a g e

7 Don t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12 Be Still Luke 10: Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me. But the Lord answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her. In the same way Jesus explained to Martha how Mary had chosen the good part as she herself was busy at work, obsessing over tasks, we are to learn to be still. We are called to not become so overtaken by "doing" and learn to just "be" at the feet of Jesus. Youth Upcoming events: Scripture study- Sept 29 Regional youth retreat- Oct 28th 7 P a g e
8 Oh Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Psalm 95: 1 Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing Perhaps all hymns are to some extent autobiographical in that they reveal something of the author s spiritual experience. In some hymns, the autobiographical thread is stronger and more obvious. Such is the case with British Baptist hymn writer Robert Robinson ( ), who as a barber s apprentice, fell under the powerful influence of George Whitefield s preaching. A favorite line in the last stanza, Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love, is thought to be particularly autobiographical, referring to Robinson s early life, when his mother sent him to London to be an apprentice. It was during this time, according to hymnologist Kenneth Osbeck, that he associated with a notorious gang of hoodlums and lived a debauched life until he came under the spell of Whitefield. Turning to the young Robert Robinson, the bleary-eyed gypsy fortune-teller pointed a quivering finger and said, And you, young man, you will live to see your children and your grandchildren. Robert Robinson suddenly paled and said, You re right. She s too drunk to know what she s saying. Leave her alone. Let s go. But her words haunted him the rest of the day. If I m going to live to see my children and grandchildren, he thought, I ll have to change my way of living. That very night, half in fun and half seriously, he took his gang to an open-air revival service nearby where the famous evangelist, George Whitfield, was preaching. We ll go down and laugh at the poor deluded Methodist, he explained. Two years and seven months after hearing that sermon, twenty-year-old Robert Robinson made his peace with God, and found full and free forgiveness through the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Joining the Methodists, and feeling the call to preach, the self-taught Robinson was appointed by John Wesley to the Calvinist Methodist Chapel, Norfolk, England. And there, for the celebration of Pentecost (Whitsunday), in 1758, three years after his marvelous conversion, he penned his spiritual autobiography in the words of this hymn. 1. Come, Thou Fount of ev ry blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above; Praise the mount I m fixed upon it Mount of Thy redeeming love. 2. Here I raise my Ebenezer; Hither by Thy help I m come; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, 8 P a g e
9 Safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wand ring from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious blood. 3. O to grace how great a debtor Daily I m constrained to be! Let that grace now, like a fetter, Bind my wand ring heart to Thee: Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here s my heart, O take and seal it; Seal it for Thy courts above. The Trumpet October 2017 Are we touching any soul with the God given talent? One day an elderly gentleman, tall and so thin he was almost gaunt, approached a choir member and asked to speak with him. He was wearing a dark suit and dark brown fedora. It was March 14, 2014 and the Choir had just finished their Sunday morning rehearsal for their weekly broadcast. The old man extended a bony hand and introduced himself. I need to tell you, he said with a slight tremor in his voice. I ve been going through a really rough time in my life lately. My wife has dementia. I ve been her sole caretaker for two years now. I came down here today, hoping to meet you. Every Sunday, when I watch Music and the Spoken Word, I watch you. You sing with such joy and enthusiasm. You have literally saved my life several times. The choir member was stunned and could only mutter a thank you as he gripped the man s shoulder. It was a very emotional broadcast for him, who looked for the man in the audience, but couldn t pick him out. The experience has stayed with him. I know we do well as members of the Choir. We touch lives and hearts. But this sacred experience brought that home to me in a very personal way, he related. We each affect those around us, people we love, our neighbors, co-workers, co-church members, or even total strangers. It might be a deliberate act of kindness or just a smile and a friendly word. Or it could be just singing your heart out. And in most cases, you will never know whom you have touched and how. Arguably, choirs are the most visible aspect of a church service. There s one minister, preacher, or pastor, and dozens of choir members. There they go, a troupe of vocally choreographed and colorfully clad (purple, red, gold, white, royal blue) songbirds, claiming the best seats in the house, but let me ask you all, are we utilizing the real benefit of it? Let me leave you with these questions in mind, are we touching any soul with the God given talent and are you up to the par of been a choir member? 9 P a g e
10 Who is richer? Someone asked Bill Gates, "Is there any person richer than you?" He said, "Yes, only one". Many years ago, I had been dismissal and I had gone to New York airport. I read titles of newspapers there. I liked one of them and I want to buy it. But I didn't have change (coin). I abandoned, suddenly, a boy called me and told, This newspaper for you. I said, but I don t have change. He said, No problem, I give you free. After 3 months, I went there. Coincidentally, that story happened again and that same boy gave another free newspaper again. I said, I can t accept. But he said, I give you from my profit. After 19 years, I had been rich and I decided to find that boy. I found him after one and half months searching. I asked him, do you know me? He said, Yes, you re famous Bill Gates. I said, you gave me free newspaper in 2 times many years ago. Now, I want to compensate it. I am going to give you everything that you want. Black young man replied, You can t compensate it! I said, "why?" He said, "Because I gave you when I was poor. You want to give me when you are rich. So, how do you compensate?" Bill Gates said, I think that young man is richer than me. You don't have to be rich or wait to be rich to give. Like in the scripture, Luke 21: 1-4 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. Truly I tell you, he said, this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on. 10 P a g e
11 Greater happiness is making others happy Two men, both seriously ill, were lying in a hospital room. One of them was able to sit upright in bed for half a day. His bed was next to the only window in the room. the other man spent every day lying on his back. Every day when the first man sat by the window after lunch, he described everything he saw for his neighbor. The second man looked forward to this. The window looked out on a park with a beautiful lake. Swans swam in the lake, children placed toy boats on the water. There was a beautiful landscape stretching into the distance. The man by the window described everything in vivid details, and the second man lay in bed and imagined the scene. Days passed. One morning, a nurse entered the room and saw that the man by the window had died peacefully in his sleep. The second man asked to have his bed moved next to the window. The nurse moved the beds and left the man alone. He lifted himself on to his elbows with difficulty, trying to look out of the window. But all he saw was a blank wall! He called the nurse and asked; "How could my neighbor see all the things he told me about?" The nurse answered that his neighbor had been blind, and couldn't even see the wall. Perhaps he simply wanted to cheer the other man up. There's no greater happiness than making others happy, regardless of your own problems. Because when you share happiness, it doubles. 11 P a g e
