Into the Word…
Sermon Series: The E100 Challenge
Sermon: Law And Land Is A Gift
Exodus 20:1-20
Introduction:
• Being double-minded leads to disaster.
Context:
• Two million strong, the Israelites were delivered from Egypt.
• God fulfills His promises.
1) The Gift Of Law
• The great “I Am” who brought them out of Egypt instructs how His
people should live.
• We are blessed, not because of our capacities, but because we are His.
• We are His with a purpose – for His mission, not for ourselves.
• Law is not the source of rightness, but the course of right ness.
• 10 Commandments tells us how to relate to God, others and stuff.
2) The Gift of Land
• God gives the promised land, with echoes of the Exodus.
• The narrative plainly tells, it is God who provides, not His people’s
capacities.
• Yet, God’s people corrupt their worship of God with idolatry.
Application:
• God calls us to singular, whole-hearted devotion.
• Marriage doesn’t work as a three-some. God is jealous for our sakes.
• See Psalm 119: 113. Many of us live as double-minded people. We
love God… but also love the world; love being in control.
• God calls us to a better way: See James 4:8.
Conclusion:
• God gives good gifts for our benefit, so we can benefit His mission.
• Perhaps today, it’s time to give up our double-minded ways.
…So the Word can get into you!
Community Breakfast
Our first community breakfast for the new season was held on Saturday
morning, October 4th. We are pleased to report that the proceeds

amount of approx. $900. Additionally, we were able to host the Youth
Impact project Ride-for-Refuge on that day as well, and a considerable
number of the cyclists partook of the breakfast under the sponsorship
of Southampton Computers. They were able to raise approx. $14,000 for
their work with vulnerable & at-risk youth in our community. A great big
THANK YOU to all those who assisted in any way with set-up, cooking,
serving, cleaning, etc. We are currently planning the next scheduled
breakfast for Saturday, November 1st. We would be pleased for the
assistance of anyone able and willing to help in any way at the
breakfasts; either Friday evening set-up, Saturday morning
cooking/serving, bussing tables, or clean-up following the breakfast; by
contacting Faye @ 388-1420 Looking ahead … JUST FRIENDS will be

during the breakfast on December 6th we will be hosting the Atlantic
Canada Highland Dancing competitions.

LIVING FAITH
Baptism
Baptism is a sign and seal of our union with Christ and with
his church.
Through it we share in the death and resurrection of
Christ and are commissioned to his service.
In Baptism, water is administered in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
The water signifies the washing away of sin, the start of
new life in Christ, and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
By the power of the Holy Spirit God acts through Baptism.
It is the sacrament not of what we do but of what God has
done for us in Christ. God's grace and our response to it
are not tied to the moment of Baptism, but continue and
deepen throughout life.
It is a sacrament meant for those who profess their faith and
for their children.
Together we are the family of God.
Baptism is also an act of discipleship that requires
commitment and looks towards growth in Christ.
Those baptized in infancy are called in later years to
make personal profession of Christ.
What is born may die. What is grafted may wither.
Congregations and those baptized must strive to nurture
life in Christ.
Baptism assures us that we belong to God. In life and in
death our greatest comfort is that we belong to our faithful
Saviour Jesus Christ.
