The Montreal UBF ministry will resume its monthly Bible Academy series. This month’s topic is on time. We hear a lot of idioms related to time. “Time is money,” “Time is short”, etc. We will learn about how to apply value to our God-given time. We will hear a special presentation by Ernest Chan, a topic on the scientific point of view on time by Jason Northey, and a Bible message on John 17 by David Jumeau.
God be with you!
“…and asked, ‘Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.’”
Matthew 2:2
Praise God who sent Jesus to be our King of kings and Lord of Lords! On December 20th, 2009, we held our Montreal UBF and U de M UBF Christmas worship service to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. 80 attendants (5 from U de M UBF) came to listen to the three part Christmas message through the Matthew 2 lecture by S. David Jumeau, the musical message led by S. Andrew Christopher, and the theatrical message led by S. John Giesbrecht. We thank God that He is using our Canadian shepherds took leadership in preparing for this service.
We learned that Jesus is our true king. Other kings conquered other nations. But our King Jesus is the only one who conquered death. Jesus is our shepherd who gave his life for us. Through Jesus’ shepherd love, we too can shepherd others with Christ’s love. Finally, Jesus is our true object of worship. God created us to worship. Human beings love and worship people and things. But worshiping people and things disappoint us in the end. Only Jesus who is the same yesterday, today and forever, is the one who is our true object worthy of our worship. The Magi taught us the meaning of worshipping Jesus.
Our students worked over 5 weeks in order to prepare for this service. While preparing for the theatrical message based on “Good news of Great Joy”, they sacrificed some of their study time for their final exams and work time to worship the baby Jesus. When they worshipped Jesus, they had great joy.
In the spirit of the Magi, we presented our offering for the Bethesda medical clinic in Uganda.
God bless you with Christmas spirit and joy! May God use Dr. John Jun to lead the UBF ministry through double ministry and encouragement of our international missionaries!
We are in the midst of preparing our Christmas service on December 20th, 2009
Our prayer topics are as follows:
The program starts at 2pm and finishes at 5pm. Christmas dinner will be served afterwards.
Our Christmas offering will support the Bethesda medical clinic in Uganda for ongoing construction to the facility. Please see http://www.ubfmedicalmission.com for more information on UBF medical missions.
May God bless our Christmas through the message of Christ’s birth!
Addendum: Let’s pray that there will be no snowstorm before the service. The past two years, there had been snowstorms which prevented our students, friends and family to not come. May God help those we have invited to participate Christmas.
