Love Lifted Me
(Hymn 425)
I was sink- ing deep in sin, Far from the peace-ful shore,
Ver-y deep-ly stained with-in, Sink-ing to rise no more;
But the mas-ter of the sea Heard my de-spair-ing cry,
from the wa-ters lift-ed me; Now safe am I.
Love lift-ed me, Love lift-ed me,
When noth-ing else could help, Love lift-ed me; Love lift-ed me.
Souls in dan-ger, look a-bove, Je-sus com-plete-ly saves;
He will lift you by His love Out of the an-gry waves.
He’s the Mas-ter of the sea, Bil-lows His will o-bey;
He your sav-ior wants to be-Be saved to-day.
Love lift-ed me, Love lift-ed me,

hen David hears that Saul and Jonathan have died
in battle, he mourns deeply for his friend Jonathan.
But he also weeps for Saul, the man who: 1. tried to
murder him in the palace; 2. tried to get the Philis-
tines to kill him in battle; and 3. chased him through
hills and caves in order to execute him. Why honor
such a man?
In David’s mind, submission to authority has little to
do with the person in charge. In fact, when a young
Amalekite tells David that he put Saul out of his mis-
ery at the king’s request, David orders his execution,
saying, “Your blood is on your own head, for your
own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have
killed the LORD’S anointed’” (2Sam. 1:16).
While leaders earn their influence, God gives them
their authority. We owe our submission to whatever
authorities God installs, regardless of who they may
be (Rom. 13:1)
LEADERSHIP LESSON
The Authority Test:
2 Samuel 1:17-27

MORNING GLORY
The Church and World Missions
“Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature”
(Mark 16:15)
The church has certain tasks committed to it by Jesus.
It has been commissioned to tell the story of God’s
Mighty saving acts in Christ. God has been seeking to
redeem man since he plunged into sin in the Garden of
Eden. As God is “not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9), the Great Commission
is the natural outflow of His character. Christianity is a missionary religion
in its source and total design. The early disciples became missionaries
because the gospel was for all men and because of the indwelling of the
Holy Spirit, the Spirit of missions.
The Great Commission was spoken by Our Lord. In the Markan account
of the Commission, His focus is twofold:
1. The scope—”Go ye into all the world.” Evangelism must be an all-out
missionary thrust, and the church must evangelize the nations of the
world. No geographical area, no culture, and no people are to be without
the good news of Christ. The church must be extensive in its ministry.
2. The method—”Preach the gospel to every creature.” Missions prospers
where the gospel is genuinely heralded and experienced. Meaningful
communications of the good news leads people into and experience of
this grace of God made available through the death and resurrection of
Christ.
The extensive and intensive proclamation of the gospel is the all-out thrust
of missions, but Christians must not stop with the preaching of the good
news and the offering of forgiveness of sins to all who believe on Christ.
They must “make disciples” by indoctrinating them in the teachings of their
Savior and renewing their minds in the truths of God. The discharge of this
task molds lifestyles and produces true Christian discipleship.
