Hearers of the Word

Theme: Let Us Not Grow Weary: Finding Rest and Renewal in God While Doing Good

Key Verse: “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a

harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9


I. The Reality of Weariness


II. The Call: Do Not Grow Weary in Doing Good

Statement of Truth:

There is a crucial difference between resting from good works and resting in order to do good works. 

III. The Promise: You Will Reap a Harvest


Two Anchors:

1. “At the proper time” 

2. “If we do not give up” 

Finding Rest in God:

• View Physical Rest as Stewardship

• Seek Mental and Emotional Rest

• Spiritual Rest is Abiding in Christ

• Learn to Lean on Community Rest


Doers of the Word:

•   Where are you most weary right now—physically, mentally, or spiritually?

• Is there a “good work” God has called you to that you are tempted to quit because you are tired?

•    Have you been trying to carry the burden alone instead of being yoked with Jesus?

•   What one step of abiding or resting could you take this week that would help you keep sowing good fruit?

Did he sacrifice his daughter's life?    Perhaps he dedicated his daughter's purity? Reasons Why Steven and Tammie believe Jephthah dedicated his Daughter: The Bible clearly forbids the offering of a human sacrifice. Jephthah's daughter does not grieve her death but her virginity (3 x’s in 2 verses)   The daughters of Israel went year after year to commemorate {Pastor Steven believes the Hebrew is better understood as: Celebrate not lament}.   It makes no sense that they would praise & celebrate the fulfillment of a foolish vow or the killing of an innocent life Jephthah is a man who is cited ...
