March 13, 2022 - Sunday PM Sermon - Gospel Meeting Day 3
The topic for the Gospel Meeting is "Building Balanced Believers". For this year's Gospel Meeting we have the special guest speaker, Melvin L. Otey. Melvin has served as an Associate Professor of Law at Faulkner University, Jones School of Law, since August 2014. He writes for Christian publications; conducts Gospel meetings, lectures, and seminars; and serves as a board member of Lads 2 Leaders. He and his wife, Jania, have two sons, Caleb and Christian. They worship with the Perry Hill Road congregation in Montgomery, AL.
"A Balanced View of the Body"
Looking at 1 Corinthians 12, Melvin looks at the members of the church. There is a significant diversity amongst the followers of Christ. But through Jesus there is unity in that diversity. Each member is like parts of the body, unique in form and function, but necessary to the body as a whole.

"A Balanced View of God"
Looking at Romans 11, Melvin looks at how people perceive God. Some think of him as sort of Santa Claus, kindly giving to everyone. But many forget the events of the Old Testament, such as Korah, Nadab, Abihu and Uzzah where the seriousness of the Lord is shown. God is both loving and just. He wants us to learn what is right and we cannot do that by not having responsibility for our actions.
