Mr Heyhoe from Hull opened his remarks by saying that many who bear the name 'Christian' are not necessarily Christian as defined in the Bible, they are far removed from biblical Christianity.
He spoke from Numbers Ch. 23 vs. 19-20 concerning a God who cannot lie. God sent His Son, Jesus, to deliver us from our sins. His blessing is forever and he delivers on His promises of eternal life to those who believe in Jesus. We need to believe in the person of Jesus to enter into God's blessings, John Ch 3 v.36 says that "He who believes on the Son is not condemned but He who does not believe is condemned already."

GOSPEL MEETINGS
On Sunday 10th July Alan Green from Harrogate spoke from Isaiah 53 and 55 concerning the sufferings of our Lord and the results of His death.
On Sunday 17th Neil Bedford from Leeds read from John 18 vs.28-40. He challenged us about truth "what is truth" is your truth the same as mine? There is only one truth and only one way to Heaven Jesus said "I am the way".

On Sunday Ewing Cross from Huddersfield spoke on the rapture he read from John 14 vs.1-3, Acts 1 vs.6-12, and 1Thess. 4 vs.13-18. We could go without dying.
The one who is coming is the same one who died on the cross. He had nowhere to lay His head, He was crowned with thorns but His Church will be complete. His substitutional death made it all possible. You need to be saved before you are left behind.

"The illfavoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven wellfavoured and fat kine." — Genesis 41:4
Pharaoh's dream has too often been my waking experience. My days of sloth have ruinously destroyed all that I had achieved in times of zealous industry; my seasons of coldness have frozen all the genial glow of my periods of fervency and enthusiasm; and my fits of worldliness have thrown me back from my advances in the divine life. I had need to beware of lean prayers, lean praises, lean duties, and lean experiences, for these will eat up the fat of my comfort and peace.
If I neglect prayer for never so short a time, I lose all the spirituality to which I had attained; if I draw no fresh supplies from heaven, the old corn in my granary is soon consumed by the famine which rages in my soul. When the caterpillars of indifference, the cankerworms of worldliness, and the palmerworms of self-indulgence, lay my heart completely desolate, and make my soul to languish, all my former fruitfulness and growth in grace avails me nothing whatever. How anxious should I be to have no lean-fleshed days, no ill-favoured hours!
If every day I journeyed towards the goal of my desires I should soon reach it, but backsliding leaves me still far off from the prize of my high calling, and robs me of the advances which I had so laboriously made. The only way in which all my days can be as the "fat kine," is to feed them in the right meadow, to spend them with the Lord, in His service, in His company, in His fear, and in His way. Why should not every year be richer than the past, in love, and usefulness, and joy?—I am nearer the celestial hills, I have had more experience of my Lord, and should be more like Him.
O Lord, keep far from me the curse of leanness of soul; let me not have to cry, "My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me!" [Isaiah 24] but may I be well-fed and nourished in Thy house, that I may praise Thy name.
