Week 23 of 52: Hebrew Words Every Christian Should Know by Dave Adamson:: “nuach” = rest. In Matthew, chapter 11, Jesus said, 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Notice that the rest is not idleness. Jesus offers us his yoke, but he says it will be easy. His rest is not based upon inactivity, but rather it is based upon being settled in the Lord’s will.
MCC News: Last week we started a “virtual foyer” zoom meeting to give our remote congregation another opportunity to connect on Sundays. It will continue each Sunday after the live streamed worship service on Sunday, so it will start about 10:15 AM. It will be a zoom meeting hosted by Gina and me. Here is the link to that meeting (link).
For the next month or six weeks, our Wednesday evening Bible study will study II Peter led by our associate pastor, Jared Smith. It will be a zoom meeting at 6:30 PM.
On Wednesday I had a long conversation with our dear friends Chris and Sharon Struna. They are stuck in Argentina now, but they hope to return to Florida this fall, and then return to missions work in Honduras this winter. Please pray for protection and provision. I look forward to seeing Chris and Sharon at MCC when they are in town.
