“Suddenly, a fierce storm struck the lake, with waves breaking into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.” ~ Matthew 8:24 ~ I love September — it always starts with a paid holiday! How could you not love that? But it is also like a new restart for the year. Summer is when things slow down — usually. Now, things are picking up once again here at First Southern. Kid City is open, we have a new quarter beginning in Bible Study with extra class space now available and a few new options available as well. Good News Club and Awana begin this week and English as a Second Language (ESL) classes will be meeting once again on Saturday afternoons with a Good News Club for the kids. The Ladies Fall event is happening this Saturday morning, men are being nominated to serve as Deacons and the Week of Prayer for Arizona State th Missions is the 15 thru the 22nd. National “Back to Church Sunday” is also the 15th. Yep, September is here! And it all began with Labor Day. Labor Day — that day that most of us don’t go to work. However, whether you are still in the work force or retired, we all have a pretty good idea that work can be hard and exhausting. I enjoy working — and I’m sure most of you do as well. Even in retirement, I am amazed at all the work that many of you do. I often say I don’t know if I have the energy to retire here at First Southern.
Work is God’s plan for us — and not because of Adam’s fall in the garden. Work was already on Adam’s schedule before he sinned. Work is not a punishment, but you can get “bone-tired” sometimes when you’re doing it. Such was the case for Jesus one day. He’d had a busy work schedule, healing, casting our demons, feeding multitudes and teaching — not to mention discipling His disciples. He was tired — “bone-tired.” Taking the short-cut across the Sea of Galilee with His disciples, Jesus fell asleep in the boat. I can understand that. There is just something soothing about being on a gently rocking boat with the sun warming you. It’s easy to go to sleep in those circumstances, especially when you are already tired. But those circumstances didn’t last long. A fierce storm came up and threatened to swamp the boat and drown everyone on board. But Jesus remained asleep — even in the raging storm!

We know that Jesus was awakened by the disciples and He calmed the storm by speaking to it. But what He did not do was condemn the fact that His hard work had made Him so tired that even a fierce storm could not wake Him up. Jesus was always working as we encounter Him in the gospels. He was a carpenter until age 30. He then went around doing good for the next three years. Then one night he labored in prayer so intently that He sweat drops of blood. Moments after that, He was arrested. He was beaten in the face, stripped naked and mocked, beaten with a cat-of-nine-tales until He was almost dead and had a cruel crown of thorns driven deep into His brow. He was forced to carry a cross up Golgotha’s hill until He fell under its weight. Once at the top of the hill, His hands and feet were nailed to the cross where he suffered for six hours until His death. With His dead body in the tomb, He battled the forces of sin and death, rising victorious three days later. We needed a Savior who knew how to work — even when He was “bone-tired” and all alone. Join us this Sunday morning as we worship our Savior. And remember, just as the holiday came this past Monday, Heaven comes soon as well — after the work of this life for those who know Jesus. Blessings on your week as you re-engage with the work of the Lord once again. Let’s keep up the great work together. Let’s make this a September to Remember. Pastor Terrell
