WORSHIP
Sunday Worship at 10:15 am
All are welcome to join us this Sunday!
Our Remembrance Day service on November 9th was a beautiful and honouring service. I would like to acknowledge that it took a team to achieve this; THANK YOU to Mark Switzer for bagpipes, Trevor Rodie for drums, Avery as Cadet & scripture reader, our guest speaker Second Lieutenant Craig Shaw, Pam O’Sullivan for poppies, and all others in the choir/music leadership. So many things needed to come together perfectly and I am thankful that they did.
This week we are looking at scripture in the book of 2 Thessalonians, written by the apostle Paul to the church. In this message, the apostle addresses those that are “idle”, Paul repeats the word “idle” and this indicates emphasis and a theme. Paul warns those that choose to be idle. So, I ask, what does it meant to be idle? Being idle makes me think of my car…. sitting idle in the parking lot. The car is on; however, it isn’t going anywhere. The car lacks direction, purpose, and will never achieve its desired destination if it remains idle. In addition to being idle, my car is also blocking traffic!
Paul speaks to the church warning them about individuals that are choosing to be idle in their lives. At the time this was written, many false teachers had suggested everyone wait for the return of The Lord and that there was no need to work or plan for their future. Paul warns that being idle only causes trouble…sounds like that familiar saying; “idle hands are the devils work”. Join us this week as we learn about God’s plan for our lives that consists of giving us a purpose and meaning which leads to satisfaction. God never intended for us to be idle, as being in service to others is the recipe for a satisfying life!
