SERVE WITH SINGING
September 22, 2024
George Beverly Shea was born in Canada. His dad was a pastor. George was born again at the age of six, but he strayed, and at the age of 18, during a special Friday night service, George’s dad came down from the pulpit and patted George on the shoulder and said, “Perhaps tonight might be the night when you come back to the Lord.”
Indeed, it was. Shea rededicated his life to Jesus. In time he worked at Moody Bible Institute, and later sang for a radio program that emanated from the basement in the Baptist church where Billy Graham was pastor. Shea ended up setting the stage for Graham by singing a solo right before the sermon each night of Graham’s world-wide crusades.
Shea worked with Graham for 60 years. He’s known as America’s beloved gospel singer. He was the first international singing star of the gospel world. He has sung before more live audiences than any person in history. Only God knows what impact he’s had on eternity.
Sunday I’m preaching on “Serve with Singing” from 1 Samuel 16:14-23. We’ll talk about “Serve because of Satan,” verses 14-15; “Serve with Help from Others,” verses 16-20; and “Serve Faithfully,” verses 21-23. It’s the story of young David using music to drive away the evil spirit who afflicted King Saul.
Please join us Sunday as we serve God through singing, listening, fellowshipping and dedicating ourselves to the God of joy.
Love,
Jim Meek
