Tabuk Bible Lectureship

We have another Bible Lectureship at Tabuk, Kalinga that we also did last month together with bro. Harry Osborne and Chip Foster. Right now, we have bro. Ron, David, Donna and Starla, the Halbrook family. The location is the same as we have before. It is only rented and not the place of worship in Tabuk because it can accommodate more people compared to having it in church buildings at the area. According to bro. Ben Vistro, who find these place to have the lectureship, there are about 120 who attended but some may not be included in the count so maybe higher.

We started the lectureship by singing spiritual songs led by fellow preachers. The first to speak was bro. David and he shared to us about "What do I need to know about Jesus?". The main purpose of the lesson is that we need to know that He is God(deity), He lived on earth in physical body, He uniquely left the earth, and He will return. Bro. Ron followed him with another great lesson about "The Gospel Makes us right with God" from Romans 1:16-17. In order to be right with God, we need to know the Right God, we need to know the Right Savior and it is not Buddha or Mohammed but it is Jesus Christ, the one who died on the cross and was risen from the dead, we also need to know the Right Gospel, Right Baptism, Right Church and the Right Life. After the lessons were discussed, bro. Rody summarized it all in our dialect so that those who cannot understand well english will understand everything that was preached.

In the afternoon, we continued with the lectureship and bro. David was the first one to stand to us and preached. He shared about "The New Creation", that in order to become a new creation, we need to be in Christ, in His body, in His army, in His kingdom, in His priesthood, in His house, and in His church. The Old things have passed away so all things become new. The old covenant is removed, now we have the new covenant; the old man has passed away, now we are a new man; Old sins are removed, now we need to have new fruits; and the old burden has passed away, now we have the new burden which is in Matthew 11:28-30.

The final lesson was preached by bro. Ron which is "New Beginnings in Christ". In Psalm 118:22-24, God gave us a new day, a gift that He has given to His people and a day of the new beginning.  A New Covenant, New Kingdom and A New Birth; We need to rejoice on these blessings because God is the one who gave it to us. After the lesson, bro. Rody again shared a short summary on both lessons.

We extended the invitation after the summary, and we are happy to see eight(8) precious souls who went in front to confess their faith. They are from different areas of Tabuk and are attending services from the different churches in the same locality.
