Today we completed our study of Paul's letter to the Philippians - fifteen lessons in all. It contains only four chapters and is one of the simplest book to study. The heart of Philippians is joy. Paul wrote this letter from prison, not a nice place to be in! Joy, unlike happiness defies circumstances. Happiness tend to depend on happenings, but joy does not.
Major Ruth Pascoe who accompanied Colonel Beryl Burridge home to England came back last Friday evening. She did the meeting this morning and gave a good sermon based on Ecclesiastes 3: 1-14. Her three points were:
Look up - God is in control of time.
Time to be born, time to die. We have no control.
Look within - God has put eternity in our hearts.We need to have that relationship with our Eternal God to find life meaningful.
Look ahead - our ability to find satisfaction in our work depends largely to our attitude. With God we can look ahead.
There is plenty for us to ponder or reflect on this message on Labour Day.
