Pastor Reuben’s sermon came straight from the heart
From the beginning to the very last part
Seven years ago in service, tears rolled down his face
As he realised that without God’s love, there was no grace
And we must not forget the love
That comes from heaven above
God’s love leads Him to give
So that we can all live
The text was Mark seven from verse twenty four
Jesus had barely walked through the door
[He had come inside
Whilst trying to hide]
When the Syrophoenician lady came
Her daughter was sick, but was not lame
Jesus referred to children, dogs, and bread
And the order in which they should be fed
God’s plan had a sequence
So none should take offense
That the Gentiles would follow the Jews
Should not have come as breaking news
He loves us all the same
No matter what our name
So when she did beg for a “crumb”
Jesus could no longer stay mum
He had said “no, not yet”
Implying that we should not fret
In this promise, her faith she did anchor
And thus received what she was after
In conclusion, Pastor had this to say
“Look for a fresh revelation from God each day”
Then voices were raised at least one rung
As “Worthy Is The Lamb” was sung
Whilst “The Passion of Christ” was shown
I really should have known
That no matter how hard I might try
I was bound to break down and cry
So today in service, tears rolled down my face
As I again heard that God’s love gives us grace
We can never doubt that He does love and care
And with the world, that good news we must share
