Lord of the Sabbath

Therefore the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath" (Mark 2: 28).

     "Monday," according to one cynic, "in a christian country, is the day following . . . THE FOOTBALL GAME!"

     Tonight, right before the LSU football season opener, some of us will be attending our Sabbath Eve service and lifting our hands in worship to Jesus--King of kings and Lord of lords, while others will be getting the party ready in hopes of lifting hands signaling, TOUCHDOWN, LSU!

     A blue grass singer sharing her life's story said that where she grew up Elvis was king and Jesus was Lord.  Great line.  But, in all seriousness, we know the Great Throne is not a love seat accommodating two occupants.  Paths separate.  Choices have to be made.  Priorities have to be set.

     What rivalries challenge Jesus as your King of kings, and Lord of lords?  Each of us must fight these  "throne pretenders."  Sabbath Day, is ground zero in the battle.

Praying a blessed, Sabbatical life for you as you prioritize King Jesus as Lord of your Sabbath . . .

Tim

REMINDER:
Tonight will be our second Sabbath Eve worship event!  You don't want to miss what God has planned for you!  We will begin will a taco salad meal at 6 and worship at 7 for all ages.

Tomorrow morning (Sunday), we will have 3 Bible study opportunities for you to choose from.  All will begin at 10 AM.  If you prefer to be in a men only class, Grover Ranz will be leading you, and if your preference is a ladies only class, Pauletta Davis will be leading you.  Both of these groups will meet at Ruel & Pauletta Davis' house this week in separate areas.  If you prefer a co-ed class setting, Julie & I will be leading and hosting this class in our home.  Children are welcome at the co-ed class and activities will be provided.
I hope you will take advantage of one of these Bible study options.
