 Lori led out in the lesson study in the book of Hebrews. 

Come out and join in this Bible discussion. 

Sadly there was no special music so after the Praise Time Jerrie Lou shared her story with us. 

She told one of Dick Duerksen's stories from the Review and it was a good story. 

She got Doug to find it online and show us all the picture of the little plastic church in the story. 

Thank you for sharing it Jerrie Lou. 

Alex was the platform person and introduced Bev Haines for having the sermon. 

Mark! The book of Mark in the Bible is a remarkable book!!  Pun intended!!!

Mark uses the word immediately often. 

It means, right away, or instantly. 

9 times Mark uses immediately or forthwith or straight away. 

Mark 2:1 -5 says that the house was full.  Jesus was there and people came to be where Jesus was. 

There was excitement when Jesus was around.  People know something would happen. 

They knew they would leave changed and renewed. 

The friends of a man with paralyzed man did not get discouraged and leave when they saw the house full.  They took him to the roof and made a place to lower him to Jesus. 

Can you visualize that happening right here in OCC?!?!?

When Jesus was born, there was no room for him, only in the crude stable. 

Now, His fame had gone viral!

Ellen G White tells us to study the work of Jesus. 

The 4 friends interceded for their friend. 

They took the roof apart. 

They went a long way to get help for their friend.  

Jesus saw their faith.

He rewarded it. 

Are we standing in for our friends and families that need Jesus?

God's healthful remedies help everyone. 

Self isolation, healthful food, use of hot and cold fomentation helped people in their illness years ago. 

Exercise, sunlight, onion poultices, pine needle tea, black see and honey, and rest are all good healthy things for us to do or get. 

Medical missionary work is the answer. Now is the time to labour for our fellow man/woman/child. 

It is now God needs us to ministry to people in our city.  

Isaiah 58 is good to read to inspire us to action. 

Holy Spirit power is available right now.  Will you step out in faith today?

Will you accept the call?

Be the hands and feet of Jesus.
