FAITH OF OUR FATHERS (GHS 78)

3. FAITH OF OUR FATHERS [GHS 78]
Faith of our fathers! living still
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword,
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene’er we hear that glorious word!
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to Thee till death. 1.

4. FAITH OF OUR FATHERS [GHS 78]
Faith of our fathers! we will strive
To win all nations unto Thee;
And through the truth that comes from God
Mankind shall then be truly free;
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to Thee till death! 2.

5. FAITH OF OUR FATHERS [GHS 78]
Faith of our fathers! we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife,
And preach Thee, too, as love knows how
By kindly words and virtuous life.
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death! 3.

6. PAUL REHEARSES HIS CALLING
SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES
LESSON 695:
PAUL REHEARSES HIS CALLING

7. RECAP OF OUR LAST STUDY
From our last study, entitled “The sins of Eli’s sons”, we learnt that:
Christian workers and leaders should not take advantage of their position to satisfy their lust for power, possessions and control.
Our personal and family devotion to God should be constant and fervent even in difficult moments.
God blessed Elkanah’s family. Like Abraham, Joshua and others, Christian parents should lead their families to abide by God’s word and live lives that pleases the Lord.
Firm resolve and corrective action are two important qualities needed for effective parental discipline.

8. TODAY’S STUDY: LESSON 695: PAUL REHEARSES HIS CALLING
MEMORY VERSE:
“But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ” (Galatians1:11,12).
TEXT: Galatians 1:11-24.
The study of today touches on three points:
The source of an authoritative message.
The wonder of redeeming grace.
The submission of an approved minister.

9. SUMMARY The source of an authoritative message (Galatians 1:11,12):
We must wait on the Lord for an authentic message and corresponding anointing.
The church must be careful not to commit anything to the hands of false ministers.
To command hearing, our commission must bear the stamp of Christ’s authority.
The wonder of redeeming grace (Galatians 1:13-15; 1 Corinthians 15:9,10):
Paul was grateful to God for his new life. Grace should make us humble, not boastful.
Paul was first converted before he could minister. We must be saved from sin and then consecrate our lives to the service of God and His people.
If we would be effective in service, we must press on to be filled with the Holy Ghost.
The submission of an approved minister (Galatians 1:18-24):
To qualify as an apostle, there must be a direct commission from Christ Himself.
Apostleship should not detach one from fellowship and correspondence with leaders.
Pride and an independent spirit disqualify anyone from the ministry of Christ. -
- firm resolve and corrective action.

Ministers must wait on the Lord for His message, anointing and authority. The church should not commit anything to the hands of false ministers.
Grace should make us humble, not boastful.
We must be saved from sin and then consecrate our lives to the service of God and His people. Moreover, we must press on to be filled with the Holy Ghost for effectiveness.
An apostle receives his commission directly from Christ Himself. However, this should not detach one from fellowship and correspondence with leaders.
Pride and an independent spirit disqualify anyone from the ministry of Christ.

17. KEEP ON THE FIRING LINE
If you’re in the battle for the Lord and right, Keep on the firing line; If you’ll win the vict’ry, brother, you must fight, There are many dangers which we all must face, If we die still fighting it is no disgrace, Cowards in the service should not have a place, Keep on the firing line.

18. Chorus
You must fight and be brave against all evil, Never run, though foes combine; If you must fight for God and right, Keep on the firing line.

19. KEEP ON THE FIRING LINE
God will only use a soldier He can trust, Keep on the firing line; If you’ll wear the crown, then bear the cross you must, Life is but to labour for the Master dear, Help to banish darkness and to spread good cheer, We shall be rewarded for our service here, Keep on the firing line.

20. Chorus
You must fight and be brave against all evil, Never run, though foes combine; If you must fight for God and right, Keep on the firing line.

21. KEEP ON THE FIRING LINE
When we get to heaven we shall be so glad, Keep on the firing line; We shall praise the Saviour for the call we had, ‘Twill be joy to see the souls we helped to win, Those we led to Jesus, from the paths of sin, Hear their welcome plaudit and go marching in, Keep on the firing line.

22. Chorus
You must fight and be brave against all evil, Never run, though foes combine; If you must fight for God and right, Keep on the firing line.
