As we complete our Sermon Series, "Serving in the Hood," we are reminded that while we work for Jesus by serving others with everything we have and everything we are, we nonetheless look forward to that day of rest that will come to every Christian. We look forward to hearing Jesus saying "Well done good and faithful servant." We look forward to crossing that finishing line.
We look forward to that day when we'll be glorifying God not by good works, but simply by worshipping Him for all that He has done for us and through us. We will glorify Him with every fiber of our being...till death do we part this world to spend eternity with our loving Lord and Savior Jesus.
Scripture Verses:
Luke 19:11-17, 2Timothy 4:1-8
