            Music is a major part of a church's worship service, as it has been for centuries.  For example, "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" was composed by Martin Luther in 1529, and it is still sung in churches today.  The song, "Because He Lives," was written in 1971 by a very well known duo, Bill and Gloria Gaither.  Our churches and airways are full of newer and more modern praise songs today.  Praise in music is a beautiful sound to our Lord and God.

 

            Last Sunday, we were blessed with a piano duet played by 5-year-old Abrielle Jones and her grandmother, Marla Jones.  It is such joy to have our youth share their talent with us.  Bro. Tim's message, entitled "God's Messengers," focused on the prophets from the Northern Kingdom.  God sent eight prophets to the two Kingdoms in a little over a two-hundred-year span, warning the people about their sinning, especially the worship of idols.  They would not listen to the prophets.  The people of that time were no different than those who live today.  We need to listen to God and remain faithful to Him.

 

            The Bible challenge question is:  "Which city totally repented after hearing the "Word?'"  (Jonah 3:5)
