I Thought I Had it All (14 min)

Born in 1933, Bill Lavery turned his back on God as a teenager. He thought he “had it all”, as drinking, gambling and ballroom dancing filled his spare time. After marriage, he emigrated to the USA (in 1961), settling in Michigan. He secured a good job in Detroit and enjoyed a “cocktail party” lifestyle into his early thirties. But God began to work in his life, eventually bringing him and his wife to repentance and faith in Christ. Reading: Matt 14:22-32. (Preached in Stark Road Gospel Hall, Livonia, MI, USA, in 2001).

Bob Surgenor tells the story of his labours in the gospel in West Virginia, USA, beginning in 1970. He pioneered in gospel work there and, often helped by other preachers, saw the Lord save souls and an assembly planted in the town of New Creek. Using a Gospel Tent and hiring various buildings (including the historic Pine Church in Purgitsville), series of gospel meetings were held in Keyser, Burlington, Fairmont, Petersburg, Birch River, Whitmer, Buckhannon and many other places. The fascinating and often humourous story of this work is told in the book "Happenings Up The Hollow" (ISBN 9781926765808). Reading: Psalm 126:5-6.

The hymn "It is a thing most wonderful", beautifully sung by young people from Roseisle Gospel Hall in Manitoba, Canada. I cannot tell how God could love A child so weak and full of sin; His love must be most wonderful If He could die my love to win. It is a thing most wonderful, Almost too wonderful to be, That God's own Son should come from heaven, And die to save a soul like me. And yet I know that it is true: He chose a poor and humble lot, And wept and toiled and mourned and died For love of those who loved Him not. It is a thing most wonderful, Almost too wonderful to be, That God's own Son should come from heaven, And die to save a soul like me. It is most wonderful to know His love for me so free and sure; But 'tis more wonderful to see My love for Him so faint and poor. It is a thing most wonderful, Almost too wonderful to be, That God's own Son should come from heaven, And die to save a soul like me. And yet I want to love Thee, Lord; O light the flame within my heart, And I will love Thee more and more, Until I see Thee as Thou art. It is a thing most wonderful, Almost too wonderful to be, That God's own Son should come from heaven, And die to save a soul like me. Author: William Walsham How
