The Jehovah’s Witnesses will host their district convention at the Kaua‘i Memorial Convention Hall starting Friday at 9:30 a.m.
The program will emphasize that mankind needs deliverance from the effects of inherited sin and its consequence, death. Talks, symposiums will emphasize comforting scriptures that detail God’s loving provision for everlasting deliverance made possible by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Witnesses believe that current events fulfill Bible prophecies indicating that God’s day of reckoning is fast approaching. The need for deliverance will be explored as well, infusing the program with a tone of urgency.
Each day’s program will be based on a Bible passage that emphasizes reliance on God as the preeminant Deliverer of the righteous. The convention promises to stress compelling Scriptural reasons for taking decisive action when pondering the direction of one’s life.
Other features of the program include a baptism ceremony on Saturday and a Bible-based drama presentation on Sunday. The drama will show how godly obedience is required in order for one to gain deliverance. The public discourse “Deliverance by God’s Kingdom is at Hand!” will be presented on Sunday afternoon. The speaker will discuss why there is a greater need for deliverance and how God will provide salvation by means of His Kingdom in the hands of Christ Jesus. Witnesses note that millions of people are acquainted with the model prayer recorded at Matthew 6:9 through 13, in which Jesus taught his disciples to pray for that Kingdom.
Program sessions start at 9:30 a.m. each of the three days of the convention. Admission is free and no collections will be taken. For more information, contact Carl Rossetti at 822-1508.
