John Richardson read Psalm 49 vs.1-20, 1 Peter 1 vs.17-23, and Psalm 116 vs.12-19.
1/ (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
2/ But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
3/ Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
1/Psalm 49 starts with a call to pay attention.
Why because we all have the same certainties. It is appointed unto man once to die.
But we have different destinations. after death the judgement.
No one can buy redemption it is precious very costly. It doesn't matter who we are rich or poor, clever or not, big house or small etc. etc.
The Psalm is addressed to all people its about truth and life, God is Love, God is Holy. We are sinners and there will be the judgement at the Great White Throne and then the Lake of Fire.
But there is a way to be saved through the love of God.
2/ Through the precious blood of Christ God has put in place a way of Salvation through His Son (God the Son) the Holy One gave Himself as a sacrifice and shed His Precious blood at Calvary.
There is no need to continue to sacrifice animals as His Sacrifice is sufficient for us. We all fall short of God's standard but He is our substitute He died for us we deserved that death. We need to repent and accept God's Son. Then we have a living hope and He keeps us in that hope.
3/ We are precious to God we can't understand why but we are and particularly as His people we are precious to Him in life and in death when we go to be with our Saviour.
So trust Christ now and have that living hope and enjoy the precious things God has for us in Christ.

Gospel Meeting 16/02/2014
Mr. David Flett read Luke 15 vs.11-32
Grace Mercy Forgiveness. There is joy in heaven over one sinner who repents.
It is a story about encouragement, hope and love. You have an opportunity to make a decision for Christ, or if you have wandered away to return to Him with the assurance that He will accept you and give you peace. Christ has paid the price on the cross by dying for us.

Sin can never satisfy.
Hebrews 11 vs.25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
When things got tough he attached himself to a man rather than God to solve his problems it didn't work.
Today we have an abundance of Bibles but people refuse to believe God and His Word and there is so much ignorance about the Word of God and what is in it.
A life without God leads to foolishness, fear, no purpose, no light, no hope, no foundation, then death and Eternity in Hell.
John 3 vs.16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
1 John 3 vs.1 ¶ Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God:
Eventually he came to his senses and appreciated his position and how foolish he had been, we too must also accept that we are sinners before God and turn to Him.
Psalm 51 vs.1 ¶ « To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. » Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 ¶ Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14 ¶ Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Galatians 6 vs.7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
The wages of sin is death.
We can go from certain death to certain life.
He didn't make excuses he took responsibility for his own sin and returned in repentance as he was and was accepted gladly by his father as too God will accept us gladly if we come to Him for Salvation or restoration. He shows us compassion and love, and gives us free forgiveness.
Christ made Himself of no reputation for us He died that we might life we were lost but now are found. It is all of Him come as you are and accept Him as your Saviour He died for you.

John Green read Matthew 5 vs.1-16 "ye are the light of the world."
Christians are here to make an impact.
1/Christianity should be public not private.
