Happy New Year!
Well, we are well into the New Year. There is talk of visitations and meetings, of conferences and fellowships, mission activities and even Vacation Bible School. These activities consume our time, energies and concentration as we become involved in the life of the church and our mission.
I’m reminded of the story of Jesus when He was twelve-years-old. His parents took Him to Jerusalem for the Feast of Passover. When they had finished their days they left Jerusalem, soon however, they discovered Jesus was missing. They returned to Jerusalem and, after three days, they found Jesus in the temple sitting in the midst of the teachers listening and asking questions. His mother said, “Why have you done this to us?” Jesus replied to them, “Why did you seek me? Did you not know that I must be about my Father’s business?” Luke 2: 41-50
We must be about the Father’s business. That’s the responsibility with which we have been charged. The things we do and say must reflect the glory of God and work for the Kingdom of Heaven. Sunday school is one of the activities that satisfy the concept of our Father’s business. Each week the Sunday school teachers come prepared to teach and lead the studies of the Bible.
If you are not going to Sunday school, I invite you to come and see what is going on at Oak Grove. If you haven’t been in a while, come on back and see what God is doing. If you are looking for a place to study God’s word, we have a place just for you. See you in Sunday school.
