Today’s Sunday School Lesson
New Testament Postcards: I John 1:6-10, Christ is constantly cleansing us from all sin (Present tense verbs here). Therefore a condition of fellowship with God not only requires a life consistent with His nature, but also requires the constant exposing of sins, both known and unknown, by the very God who is Light. It also includes the confession of sin which results in the constant cleansing of us by Christ. So the closer your walk with God the more aware you will be of your sins.
Today’s Sermon
I Corinthians 9 - Living of the Gospel - Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
W-a-i-t-i-n-g
Two ladies were sitting in a living room, waiting for their hostess, who was slightly delayed. The daughter of the family was with them, on the theory that she would keep the visitors occupied during the wait. The child was about six years old, snub nosed, freckled, buck toothed and bespectacled. She maintained a deep silence and the two ladies peered doubtfully at her. Finally, one of them muttered to the other, "Not very p-r-e-t-t-y, I fear," carefully spelling the key word. Whereupon the child piped up, "But awfully s-m-a-r-t."

The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party. Their conversation was constantly interrupted by people describing their ailments and asking the doctor for free medical advice. After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, "What do you do to stop people from asking you for legal advice when you're out of the office?" "I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a bill." The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try. The next day, still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared the bills. When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer.

The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
Honeymoon Alone: On a visit to my wife's native England for our honeymoon, we arrived at London's Gatwick Airport. Tania headed for the British passport control line while I, an American, waited in the foreigners' line. When my turn came, the customs officer asked me the purpose of my visit. "Pleasure," I replied. "I'm on my honeymoon." The officer looked first to one side of me, then the other. "That's very interesting, sir," he said as he stamped my passport. "Most men bring their wives with them."
