Oceans of Love with Dr. J. Ralph McIntyre Paul Adams and Nehemiah Bradley

This was a very special Easter Sunday morning for Brainerd Baptist Church. Dr. and Mrs. Ralph McIntyre were honored on the 15th anniversary of his pastorate at Brainerd. Both Ralph and his wife Sue expressed their appreciation and love to the church family. The parents of Dr. McIntyre were present for the special occasion. 

Dr. McIntyre's message was on the resurrection of Jesus and Paul's argument for belief in the resurrection. Without the resurrection there would be no Christianity, but Jesus conquered death, became victorious over the grave, and thus God had the last say in the affair and the resurrection became God's greatest hour in all the history of the world and became for Christians the keystone for every kind of spiritual experience.

The service included the much loved hymns of Easter including "He Lives", "Christ the Lord is Risen Today" and "Up from the Grave He Arose".

In addition to three choir selections and a Bell Choir selection, Harry Hampsher sang "Were You There?". 

With Pastor Robert G. Lee out of town on this Sunday morning in 1951 the congregation was blessed with a wonderful message by Assistant Pastor, J. Ralph Mcintyre. He spoke of the everlastings of God. The everlastings of God include the eternal separation from God in hell but for those who know the Lord they can look forward to an eternal heaven which will include eternal security, eternal happiness, and eternal joy in the eternal presence of the Lord. If you know not Him, Christ says, "Come."

For this evening service Brother McIntyre indicated that there were five verses in the New Testament that contained the word Master. Each usage means something different. The verses were examined relating to Jesus as our Master. Those in attendance and those listening over the radio were encouraged to let Jesus become the Master of their life.

For this message Dr. McIntyre's scripture was, "I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Jesus declared that with His church there will be a better world with changes in individual hearts that all men might have eternal life. A church with members closely knit together to work and witness to the fields around them. Jesus declared, "Ye are my witnesses."

This is another recording of a message added here earlier.

Speaking on the language of the living Dr. McIntyre asked the
congregation that with the best vocabulary could they speak with
assurance of God, speak with assurance of peace and forgiveness, speak
of heaven as their home, speak words of comfort, speak with the power
from God, speak on serving God and speak the words "My Lord and My God."
