    I think Labor Day should remind us that work is a blessing, & not a curse. So this morning we’ll look at work as a blessing & as a service. Finally, I’ll suggest that work is not enough.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH BROWNSVILLE, TX A. This is Labor Day weekend, & I come to it with mixed emotions because I’m not sure exactly what to do with this particular holiday. All year long we gear up for holidays.

    This 2nd parable of Christ’s tells of an enemy that sowed "weeds" in the field of the Son of Man. But in the parable Christ instructs his laborers (the angels) not to yank out the weeds? How come?

     | 5,476 views

    It has always been the case, whenever any of the servants of God do anything in His cause, and there appears to be a probability that they will succeed, that Satan by his agents regularly attempts to divert their minds and nullify their labors.

    However, for many people, serving doesn't conjure up a positive image. Instead, they think of endless menial chores, cleaning up other people's messes, and catering to their vain whims. Yet the New Testament calls us to become servants of one another.

    What do you think of when you hear the word serve? No, I don't mean the opening hit of the racket in a tennis match. I'm not even talking about your waiter or waitress at Shiela’s.

    Christians often talk about how that what Satan offers is empty and vain, yet the majority of Christians live, at best, half-lives. More empty than full, more cloudy than sunny, more searching than satisfied. Why? Because we have confined the power of the

     | 16,812 views

    Often we get discouraged because our labors for Christ seem fruitless or insignificant. We feel that we are too small or lack the resources to accomplish anything. Don't quit or give up. Understand that there is too small or insignificant to God.

    Don't Discount Smallness Zechariah 4:6-10 In the Old Testament book of Ezra, we read that Cyrus king of Persia makes the decree to rebuild the House of the Lord at Jerusalem.
