Randy introduced services by reading from Ecclesiastes 2:1-17 and admonishes us that our happiness does not depend on the things we can obtain, but the joy comes in the labor itself and not in the final thing; therefore, let us enjoy our life under the sun as we labor together in the Lord’s Vineyard.
Bill McCarthy Brother Bill commented briefly about how some of our older ministers of the past thought they had to prove our doctrine by quoting a multitude of Scriptures, but in his latter years, he has come to realize that the number of Scriptures quoted are not nearly as important as teaching a lesson that can be remembered from one or two.
Brother Bill then read from Luke 10:25-42, centering in on the question of the lawyer in verse 29, “Who is my neighbour?” In answer to the lawyer’s question, he then preached a very edifying message about Jesus’ parable of “The good Samaritan.” He summed up his remarks with the lesson of Mary and Martha, by admonishing us that in all our service to the Lord, to not forget to choose as Mary “that good part, which shall not be taken away.”
Randy McCarthy Brother Randy read a passage of Scripture from Mark 9:14-29, drawing a contrast between the words of Jesus in verses 19 & 23, “O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you?” and “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”
He then read the following eight passages of Scriptures, and asked two question: “What is the common denominator in these eight passages?” and “What are the lessons being taught in the healings of Jesus? ” Matt 9:22; Matt 15:28; Mark 10:52; Luke 17:19; Luke 5:20-24; Luke 7:47-50; Matt 8:2-3; Luke 7:6-9
Brother Randy then challenged us to compare and contrast the above eight Scriptural passages to Matthew 13:58, “And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” Here is the next question for us to ponder, “Will God work today where there is no faith being shown?” Jesus said, “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”

Mark Wattenbarger
The Sovereignty of God in Election
In this message Brother Mark reminds us the sovereignty of God affects the choosing out of God’s children, the doctrine we call election. In Ezekiel, Brother Mark speaks about the will of God as he passed by and declared, “Live!” Our natural state of sin prohibits us from entering in to God’s eternal kingdom but thank God he exercised His sovereignty and adopted us. – Eph 1:4-5; Ezek 16:1-6; Genesis 12:1-4; Deut 7:6-9; Rom 9:11-13; John 6:32-44

Randy McCarthy Malachi 1:1-14
“The Book of Malachi is like a bridge between the Old Testament and the New. It was a time of restoration for God’s people. The Sovereignty of God is set forth greatly in this book. The Book of Malachi is quoted from six times in the New Testament and was a favorite of the Apostle Paul.”

Bill McCarthy speaks of his experiences in the church, with focus upon John 10:10, where the Lord Jesus says, “I am come that they may have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Bill talks about how that the abundant life Jesus came to give us is that which we experience in this world by following Him.
Randy McCarthy examines Psalm 45 and outlines this classical romance of a Warrior-King who fights a battle to rescue his beloved woman, whom He marries and lives with in joy forever. Randy points out how this fairy tale theme finds its reality in Christ Jesus, who rescued his people and will take them home to live with him in all eternity.
