It's Pentecost Sunday

2011-06-11T16:06:00.000-07:00

Pentecost Sunday is a commemoration and celebration of the receiving of the Holy Spirit by the early church. John the Baptist prophesied of the first Pentecost where Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire (Matthew 3:11). Jesus confirmed this prophesy with the promise of the Holy Spirit to the disciples in John 14:26. He showed Himself to these men after His death on the cross and His Resurrection, giving convincing proofs that He was alive. Jesus told the disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the Father’s gift of the Holy Spirit, from whom they would receive power to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:3-8). After Jesus’ ascension to heaven, the men returned to Jerusalem and joined together in prayer in an upper room. On the Day of Pentecost, just as promised, a violent wind filled the house and tongues of fire came to rest on each of them and all were filled with the Holy Spirit. They were given the power of communication which Peter used to begin the ministry for which Jesus had prepared him. After the coming of the Holy Spirit, the disciples did not stay in the room basking in God’s glory but burst out to tell the world. This was the beginning of the Church as we know it.

Today, in many Christian churches, Pentecost Sunday is celebrated to recognize the gift of the Holy Spirit, realizing that God’s very life, breath and energy lives in believers. During this service, John 20:19-23 may be the core of the message about our risen Savior supernaturally appearing to the fear-laden disciples. Their fear gave way to joy when the Lord showed them His hands and side. He assured them peace and repeated the command given in Matthew 28:19-20 saying; “as the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” Then He breathed on them and they received the Holy Spirit (John 20:21-23).

The celebration of Pentecost Sunday reminds us of the reality that we are all have the unifying Spirit that was poured out upon the first century church in Acts 2:1-4. It is a reminder that we are co-heirs with Christ, to suffer with Him that we may also be glorified with Him; that the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good (1 Corinthians 12:7); that we are all baptized by one Spirit into one body (1 Corinthians 12:13); and that the Spirit which raised Jesus from the dead lives inside believers (Romans 8:9-11). This gift of the Holy Spirit that was promised and given to all believers on the first Pentecost is promised for you and your children and for all who are far off whom the Lord our God will call (Acts 2:39).

Come celebrate with us as we gather in His Upper Room this morning and seek for His anointing and fire.
There will be a baptism of the Holy Spirit and Altar ministry this Morning.

Worship and Music Ministry

2011-05-09T17:40:00.000-07:00

Worship is an integral part of Good Tidings Church.

As an Assemblies of God Church, we believe in worshipping God through music. Worship during song is the expression of absolute appreciation, love and devotion for and to our Lord. As the Holy Spirit surrounds us we open our hearts and voices. Music is a way we praise God, with our mouths, our hands and our instruments. Our worship style is relevant, comtemporary, vibrant and lively encompassing songs from the newest worship songs to inspirational hymms

We are blessed with talented and skilful musicians and singers who volunteer to minister in worship to the Lord.

The worship team also has musical opportunities for church members who have been entrusted with artistic gifts that want to give those gifts back to our Lord for His service and glory. The music team/Choir prepares and provides us with special presentations to bless the congregation.

We are now expanding our department to creative arts through dance and drama. If you are interested to join please meet up with our music director

Now auditioning musicians, singers and praise dancers. For more info contact Bro. Euywein

Alabaster box by Ce Ce Winans

2010-11-04T09:49:00.001-07:00

Each one of us has our own little alabaster box that is filled with costly sacrifice and praise. May you be encourage to continue in your walk faithfully and know that God is still the central focus of our lives Reflect and remember the night when Jesus found you.Your life was never the same when He save and redeem you. Be blessed with this song as you hear it play. Read and meditate on the lyrics

The room grew still

As she made her way to Jesus

She stumbles through the tears that made her blind

She felt such pain

Some spoke in anger

Heard folks whisper

There's no place here for her kind

Still on she came

Through the shame that flushed her face

Until at last, she knelt before his feet

And though she spoke no words

Everything she said was heard

As she poured her love for the Master

From her box of alabaster

And I've come to pour

My praise on Him

Like oil from Mary's alabaster box

Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears

And I dry them with my hair

You weren't there the night He found me

You did not feel what I felt

When he wrapped his love all around me and

You don't know the cost of the oil

In my alabaster box

I can't forget the way life used to be

I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound

And I spent my days

Poured my life without measure

Into a little treasure box

I'd thought I'd found

Until the day when Jesus came to me

And healed my soul

With the wonder of His touch

So now I'm giving back to Him

All the praise He's worthy of

I've been forgiven

And that's why

I love Him so much

And I've come to pour

My praise on Him

Like oil from Mary's alabaster box

Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears

And dry them with my hair (my hair)

You weren't there the night Jesus found me

You did not feel what I felt

When He wrapped his loving arms around me and

You don't know the cost of the oil

Oh, you don't know the cost of my praise

You don't know the cost of the oil

In my alabaster box

Poem for Mother's day

2010-05-25T08:40:00.000-07:00

What is a Mother?

A mother is someone who tucks me in at night
But as I grow older, she nags at me to sleep, to eat right.
We call her Super mum that cooks, cleans and sweeps all night
Putting dust into prison
With her super broom of might.

I'd rather have my mom than anything else in the world
Like a 100 ringgit dress that attracts boys with every twirl
Your ears listen to my wants and needs better than any best friend could
If i had to give up everything for you trust me mom, I would.
But most of all, I need your love,
Your tender caring arms.
So we'd like to say Happy Mothers Day
To all the awesome moms!

original and authentic....creatively composed by GTSA JC X3 youths as presented on Mother's Day

Come celebrate and bring your moms or grandmothers along for this Sunday Celebration Service on the 9th of May at 10.30am at the Main Sanctuary
It will be a Bilingual Service...

To all mother's of GTSA..

A Mother's love is something
that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.

By Helen Steiner Rice

Happy Mother's Day

The legend of the candy cane

2009-12-23T16:27:00.000-08:00

The Legend of the Candy Cane

Many years ago, a candymaker wanted to make a candy at Christmas time that would serve as a witness to his Christian faith. He wanted to incorporate several symbols for the birth, ministry and death of Jesus.

He began with a stick of pure white hard candy. The white symbolized the virgin birth and the sinless life of Jesus.

He made the candy hard to symbolize the that Jesus is the solid rock and the foundation of the church. The firmness also represents the promises of God.

The candy maker made the candy in the form of a "J" to represent the name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior. He thought it could also represent the staff of Jesus, the Good Shepherd.

The candy maker then added red stripes. He used three small stripes to show the stripes of the scourging Jesus received, by which we are healed. The large red stripe was for the blood shed by Christ on the cross so that we could be forgiven and have the promise of eternal life.

The flavor of mint is similar to hyssop. In Old Testament times, hyssop was associated with purification and sacrifice. It was also used at the cross as they gave Jesus a drink of vinegar before He gave up the Ghost.

Christmas can be a joyous time to be with friends and family in celebration of God’s goodness and provision throughout the year. But for many people around us, Christmas has become merely a cultural holiday and a celebration of materialism.

Bring someone along this Christmas and let them share the love of Jesus with us. Jesus is the real reason for this season!

Water Baptism in July

2009-06-18T18:02:00.000-07:00

What Does Baptism Mean?

The person who is baptized identifies with Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
The apostle Paul explained that baptism also symbolizes the believer's union with Christ:
"or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." (Romans 6:3-4).

Immersion in the baptismal waters symbolizes the end of the old way of life. Coming up out of the baptismal waters pictures the new life found in Christ. The person who was previously dead in sin has been made spiritually alive by the same power that raised up Jesus from the grave.

United with Him, the believer is released from the power of sin in order to obey God.
Paul portrays this life change as putting on new clothes: “for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ” (Galatians 3:27).

Baptism for Believers

Baptism followed repentance and faith in New Testament times. Peter invited his listeners on the Day of Pentecost to
“Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven.” (Acts 2:38 NIV).

Three thousand persons responded to the invitation, and "those who accepted his message were baptized" (Acts 2:41).

When the apostles took the gospel across the Roman Empire from Jerusalem, new churches were established, and believers were baptized soon after they turned away from sin and put their trust in Christ for salvation. Acts 18:18 says, “many of the Corinthians who heard [Paul] believed and were baptized.”

Those who have repented of sin and put their faith in Jesus Christ for eternal life are encouraged to take this step of obedience.

How Should You Be Baptized?

The Bible word for "baptize" means "immerse, douse, or saturate." In the two full descriptions of baptism found in the New Testament individuals were immersed in water. Jesus was baptized by John in the Jordan River to identify Himself as God's Son: “As soon as be was baptized, [he] went up out of the water” (Matthew 3:16).

Because of the meaning of the word baptism Good Tidings practices baptism by immersion. Therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19 NH).

Though the Bible does not state a minimum age at which a person may be baptized, an individual believer should be old enough to understand the significance of baptism. Baptism is not required to receive God's salvation. However, all who have trusted Christ for salvation are encouraged to follow Him in baptism as a step of obedience.
Any cases where immersion is impossible due to physical limitations, an alternate mode is acceptable.

Next Baptism Service is July 19, 2009 - See Pastor Anthony or Bro. Charlie if you would like to participate

Wisdom in remembering scriptures.......

2009-06-18T17:44:00.000-07:00

A woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services, when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled:

'Stop! Acts 2:38!'

Which was.....(Repent and be Baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins

may be forgiven.)

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.

As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar: 'Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you.

''Scripture????' replied the burglar.

'She said she had an Axe and Two 38s!'

(It is wise to memorise your scriptures.........)

Celebrating Our Fathers....

2009-06-10T23:52:00.000-07:00

Tribute to Father

4 years: My Daddy can do anything!

7 years: My Dad knows a lot…a whole lot.

8 years: My father does not know quite everything.

12 years: Oh well, naturally Father does not know that either.

14 years: Oh, Father? He is hopelessly old-fashioned.

21 years: Oh, that man-he is out of date!

25 years: He knows a little bit about it, but not much.

30 years: I must find out what Dad thinks about it.

35 years: Before we decide, we will get Dad's idea first.

50 years: What would Dad have thought about that?

60 years: My Dad knew literally everything!

65 years: I wish I could talk it over with Dad once more.

"Honour your father and mother.”

This is the first of the Ten Commandments that ends with a promise.
And this is the promise: If you honor your father and mother, "you will live a long life, full of blessing.”

And now a word to you fathers.

Don't make your children angry by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction approved by the Lord. Ephesians Chapter 6 verses 2 - 4

Fathers are the biggest source of strength for a child. The innocent eyes of a child perceive father as the all-powerful, most knowledge, truly affectionate and the most important person in the family. For daughters, fathers are the first men they adore and fall in love with. While for sons their fathers are the strongest person they know and someone they aspire to emulate. Even for the grownups fathers are someone whom they look up to for the most experienced and honest advice that is always in the best of our interest. For this great figure in our life that we know as father - it becomes our utmost duty to pay our humblest tribute on the occasion of Father's Day.

Say Thanks to Dad on Father's Day

Children blessed with a loving father should consider themselves blessed. For, they have someone to take care of their needs and interests. Someone to stop them when they are diverting to a wrong path and guide them on a road to success and virtue. For many of us fathers have always been there to solve our innumerous mathematics and science problems and explain the same formula hundredth time or better still until it is understood by us. Fathers would never ever give a smallest of hint to let us know how hard they work to take care of our needs and fulfill even the most whimsical of demands... For all their adorable scolding and affectionate punishments we all owe a big thanks to our Dads.

Apologize to Dad on Father's Day

Father's Day also brings with it the wonderful opportunity to apologize for all our rude and insensitive behavior. We as children often take the love and affection of our parents for granted and treat them with outright contempt. We need to apologize. We must feel great to have the presence of loving father in our lives and do not disrespect the blessing of God on us. On Father's Day we must says “Sorry” to our Dad and seek their forgiveness for our wrong behavior.

Celebrate Father's Day with Dad

We must make all efforts to celebrate Father's Day with our Dad. Children staying away from father must especially strive to spend the day with father and show gratitude for all their support and love. It could be going out or indulging him with a gourmet meal. We can also express love with thoughtful gifts. The idea is to show our affection and tell Daddy how much he is loved and appreciated not just on Father's Day but every single day of our lives.

Father's are wonderful by Helen Steiner Rice

2009-06-07T17:14:00.000-07:00

Fathers Are Wonderful by Helen Steiner Rice

Father's are wonderful people

Too little understood,

And we do not sing their praises

As often as we should...

For, somehow, Father seems to be

The man who pays the bills,

While Mother binds up little hurts

And nurses all our ills...

And Father struggles daily

To live up to "his image"

As protector and provider

And "hero of the scrimmage"...

And perhaps that is the reason

We sometimes get the notion,

That Fathers are not subject

To the thing we call emotion,

But if you look inside Dad's heart,

Where no one else can see

You'll find he's sentimental

And as "soft" as he can be...

But he's so busy every day

In the grueling race of life,

He leaves the sentimental stuff

To his partner and his wife...

But Fathers are just wonderful

In a million different ways,

And they merit loving compliments

And accolades of praise,

For the only reason Dad aspires

To fortune and success

Is to make the family proud of him

And to bring them happiness...

And like Our Heavenly Father,

He's a guardian and a guide,

Someone that we can count on

To be always on our side.

Happy Father's Day is celebrated this Sunday 14th June

2009-06-07T16:41:00.000-07:00

Pentecost Sunday 31st May 2009

2009-05-30T11:56:00.000-07:00

This Sunday we celebrate the anniversary of the outpouring of God's precious Holy Spirit upon His waiting, expecting church. Today is PENTECOST SUNDAY! This event marks the historical beginning of the Church!

Pentecost Sunday is the celebration of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Early Church believers. The second chapter of Acts records how the believers, in response to the command of Jesus, had remained in Jerusalem waiting for the power from on high that He had promised. Christ's fulfillment of that promise came 50 days following His resurrection. The believers were baptized in the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles, they were also granted the gifts of the Holy Spirit and were filled with tongues. Those gifts helped them to fulfill their mission to preach the Gospel to all nations and experienced the power accompanying the Spirit's outpouring.

We invite you to come join us for our Combined Sunday Celebration Service with Rev. John Ezekiel ,for an exciting time of worship as we celebrate the power of Pentecost at 10.30am, 31st May 2009

Praise the Lord!

2009-05-26T18:56:00.001-07:00

Praise the Lord for a wonderful Sunday Celebration service with DR. Dan Espiritu, from the Phillipines who shared a simple yet profound message on Colossians 2:6....reminding us to walk ,to be rooted , to be built up in Christ and to abound in thanksgiving to the Lord. We also Praise God for the souls that were saved and those that rededicated their lives to the Lord.

We also want to give thanks to the Lord that Uncle Choy was baptized on Sunday in the presence of GTSA members, who came to participate as witnesses and to rejoice with him for his salvation and the step of faith in water baptism.

Not forgetting this coming Sunday Celebration service we have Rev. John Ezekiel who will be ministering God's Word. You will be truly blessed with his ministry.

A Mother's love By Helen Steiner Rice

2009-05-02T05:51:00.000-07:00

Do not forget to sign up for the hi tea Ladies... Closing date will be May 3rd. Please make payment to Sis. Suleena and book your seats as soon as possible.

A Mother's love is something

that no one can explain,

It is made of deep devotion

and of sacrifice and pain,

It is endless and unselfish

and enduring come what may

For nothing can destroy it

or take that love away . . .

It is patient and forgiving

when all others are forsaking,

And it never fails or falters

even though the heart is breaking . . .

It believes beyond believing

when the world around condemns,

And it glows with all the beauty

of the rarest, brightest gems . . .

It is far beyond defining,

it defies all explanation,

And it still remains a secret

like the mysteries of creation . . .

A many splendoured miracle

man cannot understand

And another wondrous evidence

of God's tender guiding hand.

The Holy Alphabets

2009-04-14T08:25:00.000-07:00

Although things are not perfect

Because of trial or pain

Continue in thanksgiving

Do not begin to blame

Even when the times are hard

Fierce winds are bound to blow

God is forever able

Hold on to what you know

Imagine life without His love

Joy would cease to be

Keep thanking Him for all the things

Love imparts to thee

Move out of "Camp Complaining"

No weapon that is known

On earth can yield the power

Praise can do alone

Quit looking at the past

Redeem the time at hand

Start every day with worship

Thanksgiving is a command

Until we see Him coming

Victorious in the sky

We'll run the race with gratitude

X alting God most high

Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...

Zion waits in glory....where none is ever sad

Greetings from Eastern Europe

2009-04-11T06:21:00.000-07:00

Dear Good Tidings family,

My heart yearns and missing all of you on this special week. I miss my home and I miss the Church and I miss being with you on this Resurrection Sunday. I am thinking about you and wish all of you well.

The Mission which I am involved in this time round is tough and tiring. God opened doors for me to preach in several home meetings, small groups and churches. I am also training the local pastors and equiping them with Bible knowledge so that they can continue leading the ministry.The people in Eastern Europe is simple, kind and hungry for the message of the Gospel especially during these times of uncertainties with the economy downturn, people are turning to God. Please continue to uphold me in your prayers. The travelling around had been very exhausting but the trip is fruitful and fulfilling.

I want to thank you for the support and the pledge you have committed towards missions. Through your prayers and giving we are reaching and extending the Gospel to the nations.

I look forward to seeing you soon next Sunday and share all the good reports about the Mission

Have a Happy and Blessed Resurrection Sunday Service.

Your Pastor and friend,

Ps. Sean Prasad

Last August we had a Healing Service with Pastor Elijah Kang. It was a hands on training for our members to pray for the sick. Pastor Kang led the leaders to pray and lay their hands on the sick exercising their faith in God to use them as a channel of His healing. It was a wonderful evening of God's presence and healing. To God be the Glory!

You shall lay hands on the sick and they shall be healed in His name.....

The Shadow of the Cross

2009-04-07T08:50:00.000-07:00

Picture courtesy of Sis.Wendy Ee.....shadow by Bro.Stanley Wong

The shadow of the Cross

I take, O cross, thy shadow

For my abiding place;

I ask no other sunshine than

The sunshine of His face,

Content to let the world go by,

To know no gain or loss,

My sinful self my only shame

My glory is the cross.

Upon that cross of Jesus

My eyes at times can see

The very dying form of One

Who suffered there for me:

And from my smitten heart, with tears,

To wonders I confess

The wonders of His glorious love

And my unworthiness.

Be-neath the cross of Je-sus,

I fain would take my stand,

In the Shad-ow of a might-y Rock

With-in His safety band

Someday I 'll met my Jesus

And see His nail pierced hands

With arms extended wide He'll say

Welcome home my friend.

Observing Passion Week

2009-04-05T07:43:00.000-07:00

Passion week or also known as the Holy week commemorates the events of our Lord's last week before his Death where he was brutally beaten ,abused, scoffed and suffered on the cross to atone for the sins of the world.

Our Church would like to encourage every member to take this time to observe a time of fasting and praying to reflect and remember our Lord's suffering for our sake. We encourage you to fast a meal , or to abstain from meat during this week.

Fasting helps us realize our emptiness and dependence, to seek the One who alone satisfies our needs, fills our hunger and our thirst for righteousness. When we fast we are nurturing our interior disposition to listen to Christ and be fed by His saving word.

Youth Camp Report by the President

2009-04-04T20:00:00.000-07:00

The Youth Ministry just had our 5th bi-annual youth camp. The entire camp wasn't just about fun or the fellowship only, but we hoped to see lives touched and saved. And we praise God for the 2 lives that were saved and 3 lives that were rededicated to the Lord! The process of putting together an event is never a piece of cake. As for this camp, the organizing committee faced much challenges and hardship. This camp speaks so much of the grace of God and it's a testimony of how great our God is. Truly if it wasn't for Him above, not only this camp wouldn't turn out to be a success, but this camp wouldn't even had taken place!

It is such a joy to see the youths applying the lessons that they've learnt in their daily life. Please continue to uphold these youths in prayers

Note from the youth president:

I'd like to thank the camp organizers for contributing to the success of this camp. Without the help and support from you, the camp wouldn't have taken place. Not only have you guys lighten my load, but each of you were a tremendous blessing to me throughout the period of putting this project together.

To all camp participants, I hope that you all had a blast there at Malacca! (Well, I did enjoy myself a lot, and I wish that the 4 days didn't pass by so quickly.) All 26 of you have added colours to my life and I cannot express how delighted I am to meet some of you for the first time and to get to know more of each and everyone of you. I pray that we all will continue to shine for Jesus! Remember that we are here for a purpose, and that purpose is to make a difference.

To all who have contributed in one way or another, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your prayers, your support, your time and financial contribution have done a great deal.

Introduction to Dr.Billy Graham

2009-04-04T19:12:00.000-07:00

We are introducing great evangelists/speakers in our series of "Great Men/Women of God"
We bring you one of the greatest ever preacher who is still alive at 90 years old, Dr. Billy Graham.

According to his official bio, evangelist Billy Graham took the Bible literally where it says in Mark 16:15, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." Graham has preached the Gospel to more people in live audiences than anyone else in history -- nearly 215 million people in more than 185 countries and territories. Hundreds of millions more have been reached through television, video, film and webcasts.

Graham has written some 25 books, and his counsel has been sought by multiple U.S. presidents. His appeal in both the secular and religious arenas is evidenced by the wide range of groups that have honored him. Graham was the first major evangelist to speak behind the Iron Curtain, calling for peace in countries throughout Eastern Europe and in the Soviet Union -- while during the Apartheid era he refused to visit South Africa until its government allowed for desegregated audiences. Through the praise and criticism of a public life that has nearly spanned a century, he has held fast to his conviction that faith in Jesus is the only path to salvation.

"My one purpose in life is to help people find a personal relationship with God, which, I believe, comes through knowing Christ."Billy Graham

Good Tidings Remembering Bro. Bobby Michaels

2009-04-03T20:02:00.000-07:00

Remembering Bobby... our friend and musicianary in the harvest field.........

We are`saddened by the news of the loss of a wonderful artist and friend of GTSA family, Bro. Bobby Michaels, a singer and missionary at heart who passed away while ministering in Cambodia. He went to be with the Lord on April 1st,2009. Bro. Bobby ministered in our Church several times the last few years and his music will continue to live in our hearts.

A message from Bobby Michaels wife Lee, daughter, Rachel, and son, Jeff:

Our hearts are aching as we tell you that Bobby passed away this evening shortly after going into the operating room. Before the surgeons started the operation, Bobby's heart stopped with an instant "flat-line". The medical team tried for 45 minutes to resuscitate him but his heart did not respond.
We are deeply saddened by our loss...but rejoice that Bobby did get totally healed...with a new heart, kidneys, and any other part that might have needed fixing. The Lord knew the plans He had for Bobby...and today was his graduation day as he went to the One he loved the most and served so faithfully. We know he was carried away in the arms of Jesus.

Words cannot express our thanks for all the love, prayers, and notes of encouragement that have come to us by everyone who have been touched by Bobby's life. Our prayer for all of you is that you will experience the same peace and comfort that we have received from the Father.

We will let you know of memorial plans once these details have made. Thank you again for all of the love and prayers for our family.
We love you all deeply

Please continue to pray for Lee and her family as they go through this time of loss.

Who will "Take The Son.."

2009-04-02T17:05:00.001-07:00

A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art.

When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.

About a month later, just before Christmas,

There was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands.

He said, 'Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art.' The young man held out this package. 'I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.'

The father opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. 'Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift.'

The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.

The wealthy man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.

On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel. 'We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?'

There was silence.

Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, 'We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one.'

But the auctioneer persisted. 'Will somebody bid for this painting? Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?'

Another voice angrily. 'We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Gogh's, the Rembrandts. Get on with the
Real bids!'

But still the auctioneer continued. 'The son! The son! Who'll take the son?'

Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. 'I'll give $10 for the painting..' Being a poor man, it was all he could afford..

'We have $10, who will bid $20?'

'Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters.'

The crowd was becoming angry. They didn't want the picture of the son.

They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.

The auctioneer pounded the gavel. 'Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!'

A man sitting on the second row shouted, 'Now let's get on with the collection!'

The auctioneer laid down his gavel. 'I'm sorry, the auction is over.'

'What about the paintings?'

'I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings.

The man who took the son gets everything!'

God gave His son 2,000 years ago to die on the cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is: 'The son, the son, who'll take the son?'

Because, you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything.

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHO SO EVER BELIEVETH, SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE...

His message is still the same........for you and me.

DO NOT FORGET TO COME ON GOOD FRIDAY, APRIL10TH... AT 8.30P.M TO REMEMBER THE LORD'S ACT OF LOVE ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY. HE DIED FOR YOU AND ME SO WE MAY LIVE WITH HIM IN ETERNITY
