May 9, 2021 – SIXTH SUNDAY of EASTER May 9, 2021 – SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER FROM THE DEACON’S DESK Acts of the Apostles 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48 1 John 4: 7-10 John 15: 9-17 What’s your favorite love song? Maybe it’s “Something” by the Beatles, or “Your Song” by Elton John, or “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Elvis Presley, or maybe “I Got You” by Sonny & Cher. Each of us has one or maybe a couple love songs that stir deep emotions and fond memories of what we feel or believe love is about. But the greatest love song is by the artist Jesus the Nazorean, and it’s entitled “Love One Another As I Love You”. In this song Jesus describes how true love fills one’s heart from unbelievable joy. Love says this composer is about laying down one’s life for another. A surrendering of one’s self is the way to find true love. Today’s Scripture readings help us better understand and feel this love song in our hearts. Our first reading from the Acts of the Apostles doesn’t specifically mention the word love, but it is implied. This reading is a second Pentecost or more specifically the gentile Pentecost. In Acts Chapter 2: 1-11 we hear about the well-known coming of the Holy Spirit to the apostles gathered in the house and what we call the birthday of the Church. While the first coming of the Spirit is more well known, this second Pentecost in today’s reading is equally as important. In today’s reading the love of God through the Holy Spirit is poured forth on all Gentiles. God’s love is revealed to all mankind through Peter’s acceptance of Cornelius and his family desire for holiness. As Peter says, “God shows no partiality”. God’s love is universal and given to all. In speaking about love, our second reading from first John says it brilliantly, “God is love”. And those who say they love must practice what they preach. Finally we have Jesus’ greatest commandment...to love as he has loved us. It sounds so simple, and yet Jesus knows how difficult and demanding it is. And Jesus promises us that if we follow his example of self-surrendering love our lives will be filled with great purpose, hope, and joy. You might remember the old song “They’ll Know We Are Christians by Our Love” or “We Are One in the Spirit”. It is based on the idea that non-believers recognized in the early Christian believers the simple fact that they loved one another. Love for each was the sign of the spreading of early Christianity. More than every, we Christians need to show our love for another. Love is the answer to all the problems of the world and of our individual lives. But we all have failed to love as Jesus commanded and witnessed by his life. All of us are so absorbed with our own wants and needs that we fail to give to those in most need. We seem to be so divided on how we approach problems and the critical issues. It’s always my way and my needs instead of looking after others and seeing their needs. We need to pray for another Pentecost in our lives that the Spirit would pour forth upon us again and teach us how to love. There are no quick fixes to loving more...except to placing God first and foremost in our lives. If we remain in his love and follow his commandments, then he will teach us how to love. “Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God.” Deacon Steve Please check out our Website PARISH ANNOUNCEMENTS at http://stn-church.com/.

  • Walking in His Steps Introduction
    Caption Walking In His Steps A 40-Day Journey By Joe Pettigrew, Ph.D. Walking In His Steps We are living in a lonely and challenging time. Christians are trying to figure out their new normal regarding Bible studies, attending Church activities, and how they can continue to grow their faith. Some churches have continued with in-person Bible studies, while most focus on internet studies and meeting through Zoom. There is a great need today for Bible relevant studies that can be used in person or via the internet to bring people together. There has never been a time where Christians needed to communicate with one another more. Today’s complex issues are calling Christians back to the basics of their faith. A practical study emphasizing current problems and issues and how they relate to their faith are being sought. While there are many outstanding studies on the Disciples' life or highlighting individual Biblical characters, the current demand is for studies that will help Christians with the current issues they are experiencing. They want to live a life that will lead people to Christ; however, they are looking for what the Word says about today's issues. Walking In His Steps is more than a book; it guides a 40-day journey to living a life sold out to Jesus Christ. This study will enable readers to understand and discuss what Jesus expects from us as we deal with many of life’s most important questions. By the end of Walking In His Steps, readers will desire to continue to study God’s Word and invite their friends to share in this relevant study.

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”—John 13:34-35 ANY of you, I do not doubt, have heard the story of Arch-bishop Usher 1 and Mr. Rutherford;2 but it is so appropriate to this subject that I cannot help telling it again. The archbishop had heard of the wondrous M power of Rutherford’s devotion and of the singular beauty of the arrangement of his household, and he wished to witness it himself; but he could not tell how to do so until it occurred to him that he might disguise him- self as a poor traveler. Accordingly, at nightfall, he knocked at the door of Mr. Rutherford’s house and was received by Mrs. Rutherford. He asked if he could find lodgings there for the night. She answered, “Yes,” for they enter- tained strangers.

  • “Love One Another” 1 John 4:7-12 August 10, 2014 INTRODUCTION
    “Love One Another” 1 John 4:7-12 August 10, 2014 INTRODUCTION: For the third time in this short letter, John brings up the topic of love for one another. It would be hard to overemphasize the importance of this to John and to the entire New Testament. It was Jesus, after all, who first gave such emphasis to this area of love for one another. And he spoke most forcefully about it on the eve of his crucifixion. He also spoke about it during the fifty days between his resurrection and ascension. Everything Jesus said should be taken to heart, but I don’t think we are wrong to emphasize those things he spoke about during his last days on earth. John seems to understand that and responds by giving emphasis to this area of love for one another. John makes a statement here that is sure to raise some eyebrows. He says, “Whoever loves has been born of God” (v. 7). Think about that. He doesn’t say what we would expect him to say, that those who are born of God are able to love. He says that only those born of God are able to love. If you see someone who loves, John says you can count on the fact that they are born again. How could it be that only those born of God are able to love? Many who don’t claim to follow Christ enter into marriage and seem to have a genuine love for one another. How many songs, movies and books have been written about this topic? If you think about it, most of them assume that we all know what love is, and never bother to define it.

THE AUTHORITY OF THE CHURCH 191 BASIC LESSONS ON PRACTICAL CHRISTIAN LIVING Burdened with the need of a firm foundation for the Christian life, brother Watchman Nee gave a series of basic lessons on practical Christian living during the training session for workers held in Kuling, Foochow, China in 1948. He expressed the hope that these essential lessons might be faithfully learned by God’s people, thereby laying a good foundation for the building up of the Body of Christ. These messages on practical Christian living have now been translated from the Chinese language and will be published in a series of six books, bearing the various titles of: (1) A Living Sacrifice; (2) The Good Confession; (3) Assembling Together; (4) Not I, But Christ; (5) Do All to the Glory of God; and (6) Love One Another. “Exercise thyself unto godliness” (1 Tim. 4:7), is the exhortation of the apostle Paul. May our hearts be so exercised by God’s Word as to give the Holy Spirit opportunity to perfect the new creation.
