Dear Fisherville Family,
As we approach our national “Labor Day” holiday, I
am reminded of the many times the word “labor” is
used in reference to the Christian life.
It is used in reference to our coming to Christ;
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matt. 11:28)
It is used in reference to our desire for the
spiritual and eternal blessings of God; “Do
not labor for the food which perishes, but for
the food which endures to everlasting
life,” (John 6:27a)
It often references our service for God;
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast,
immovable, always abounding in the work of
the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain
in the Lord.” (I Cor. 15:58)
It references our vocational work; “Let him who
stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor,
working with his hands what is good,” (Eph.
4:28)
It is used for God working through us; “To
this end I also labor, striving according to His
working which works in me mightily.” (Col.
1:29)
It is used to describe diligent Bible Study; “Let the
elders who rule well be counted worthy of
double honor, especially those who labor in the
word and doctrine.” (I Tim. 5:17)
It also references a dedicated prayer life;
“Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant
of Christ, greets you, always laboring
fervently for you in prayers,” ( Col. 4:12)
There are many other references in the scripture to
our laboring for God, but we will stop here. I
challenge us to look up these references and ask,
“Am I involved in God’s Labor day?”
Bless You,
Bro. Jack
This summer we studied the
poetry of Psalms. Through
this study, God revealed
Himself in many ways and
helped us give voice to our
deepest spiritual needs.
Psalms of praise, prayers of confession, songs of
thanksgiving and celebration; from the realization of
our sin to the reality of His forgiveness, His Word
provides us the words we need but sometimes cannot
find within ourselves.
This Fall, beginning on September 3, we will begin a
study in Exodus and Leviticus. We will see how God
fulfills His promise to free His people from slavery
and form them into a “holy nation.” We will see that
these narratives are not just history, but are His story
of redemption, culminating in the reality of our
redemption through His Son Jesus Christ.
Come and join us as we discover the mighty works of
God in the past as a way to recognize His mighty
works today. Classes for all ages and stages of life
meet at 9:45 AM each Sunday. If you don’t know
which class you should attend, please let me know or
stop by the Welcome Center information desk on
Sunday morning and someone will be glad to help
you.
