Blessings From Doing God’s Work

​

     God blesses us as we do His work. Thank you for participating in His work as we have just completed an inspiring 107th homecoming celebration, an amazing Vacation Bible School, and an edifying series of Biblical instruction. These outstanding accomplishments were part of God’s work. Those who publicized, cooked, served, attended and otherwise supported the efforts, like those who preached, sang and prayed, engaged in God’s work – the work of the church. God blessed the week’s activities richly! That is what He does when we faithfully do the work that He wants done. Thank you for being part of God’s work.

​

     God, who wants all souls to be saved, blesses us when we continually engage in His work by leading others to Christ. Baptisms of our children are steadily taking place as they learn more and more about God’s will for their lives. College students and other young adults are being added to the church as they are taught by capable family and church members. A senior citizens’ home resident recently obeyed the gospel in response to visits and studies done by evangelistic minded members. God “gives the increase” when we engage in doing His work of leading others to Christ (I Corinthians 3:6). 

​

     God, whose desire is to see us edified, blesses us to be more as He is when we study His word. Our three-night VBS was part of His work of developing spiritual intrigue among our children. Coming together for three nights of strengthening messages from Brother Richard Price availed us to God’s work of edifying one another. Let us see each restored soul and each baptism as God’s work of strengthening and saving us. Thank God for allowing us to be engaged in the work of edifying one another by studying His word. 

​

     We have ongoing opportunities to do God’s work. As a follow-up to the celebration of our 107th year, we have visitors to encourage and members to strengthen. Thanks to every ministry and each individual who helped us serve our Heavenly Father well last week. This church is effectively serving God because of you. May God bless us to continuously do His work and receive the increase that only He can give. May God bless the Schrader Lane Church of Christ.
