Blessed to be a Blessing
Rev. Bruce Brown
Psalm 67
October 18, 2020
I. God’s Blessings on the Church to the Nations (verses 1-2)
II. God’s Blessings to the Nations Brings Praise (verses 3-5)
III. God’s Blessings and the Harvest (verses 6-7)
Our eyes, when we see the bounty that God has heaped on us, can never be focused simply upon our enjoyment of the bounty that God has given to us nor even in our thanksgiving to God for that bounty that He has given to us…but our eyes must turn to the nations. We must ask the Lord, like the Psalmist, that the nations too would share in His bounty. And so the believer longs for God to be served and praised through the salvation of people from every tribe and tongue and nation. This is an expression of the church's desire for the salvation of the nations." ~ Ligon Duncan

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.

I Thessalonians 1:1-10
I. Gospel Faith
II. Gospel Conduct
I Thessalonians 1:1-10
1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.
2 We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, 3 remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. 4 For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, 5 because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake. 6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit, 7 so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. 8 For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need not say anything. 9 For they themselves report concerning us the kind of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come. (ESV)

Acts 21:37-40
"As the soldiers were about to take Paul into the barracks, he asked the commander, “May I say something to you?”“Do you speak Greek?” he replied. “Aren’t you the Egyptian who started a revolt and led four thousand terrorists out into the wilderness some time ago?” Paul answered, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no ordinary city. Please let me speak to the people.” After receiving the commander’s permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned to the crowd. When they were all silent, he spoke to them in Aramaic..."

Welcome Shaun and Becky Hurrie (Visiting Missionaries)
"Shaun and Becky have four children - Isaac, Anwyn, Elise, and Karis. Shaun was born and raised in South Africa, but has lived in the U.S. since 2002.
They have had the privilege of being active members of Grace Covenant PCA in Hickory since 2003. Shaun served there as a Ruling Elder and the Worship and Children’s Director and Becky served as a Nursery Director.
Since a 2004 Mission's Trip and then a call for Shaun to go to seminary, we have increasingly sensed that God desires for us to serve in Southern Africa. We officially launched with Mission to the World in March of this year and Shaun was set apart for Gospel Ministry in the PCA this past June. As part of preparing for the field long-term our family has moved to Huntersville during the support-raising process. Our desire is to be directly involved with Christian Leadership Training, Church-Plant Support, and Mentoring and Support with the team on the Cape Peninsula."
