(1) Gospel Rally 2017
Thank God for bringing 7 new visitors to the church last Lord’s Day at our Gospel Rally 2017.
The theme was “The Meaning of Life” taken from John 1:1-4. The grappling for meaning in life finds its ultimate rest in the Giver and Sustainer of life – the Person of Jesus Christ. Life has its Source and finding it will bring with it fullness of meaning. The search to find the “meaning of life” finds its end point or beginning point in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The gospel message is recorded in the attached link below:

Psalm 37:1-40 (KJV)
1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
John 1:1-4 (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
This hymn was written by Helen Lemmel (1863-1961), a gifted singer and musician born in England later moved to the United States together at the age of 12. The song was inspired by a tract written by Lilias Trotter, a missionary to Algeria entitled “Focussed”. Trotter was writing about having the right focus on Jesus Christ puts the whole jigsaw puzzle of life in a blessed order. She gave this godly advice for keeping one’s life moving in the right direction:
Turn your soul’s vision to Jesus, and look and look at Him, and a strange dimness will come over all that is apart from Him.
“Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus” is the one that has continued to find its way into many hymnals and into human hearts because it holds out a promise of Jesus’ help for troubled souls.
