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?

Whats In a Name: El Shaddai

What’s in a Name? El Shaddai Scripture: Genesis 17:1-6 Date: August 10, 2025 Introduction What’s in a name? Everything! Names carry power, identity, and meaning. In life’s toughest moments—when doubt, fear, or challenges overwhelm us—there’s a name that brings hope and strength: El Shaddai. This name for God, revealed to Abram in Genesis 17, reminds us that when we’re at our breaking point, God is just getting started. El Shaddai is the Almighty, the Compassionate Nurturer, and the Source of All Blessing. Today, let’s explore what this name means and how it speaks to our struggles.

Shaddai is often translated “Almighty,” reflecting God’s limitless power. No matter how impossible your situation feels—job loss, fam...

What's In a Name: Yahweh (Part 2)

What's In a Name: Yahweh  (Exodus 3:1-15) We explore the sacred name of God: Yahweh , revealed to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:1-15). Names in Scripture reveal God’s character, and Yahweh shows us He is personal, eternal, and faithful—always present with His people. Let’s focus on Exodus 3:13-15: 13 Moses said, “If I tell the Israelites, ‘The God of your ancestors sent me,’ they’ll ask, ‘What is His name?’ What should I say?” 14 God replied, “I AM WHO I AM. Say to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.” 15 God also said, “Say: Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, has sent me. This is my eternal name, to be remembered for all generations.” Key Truth: God Has a Name In a world of vague beliefs—74% of U.S. adults believed in God in 2023, but only 54% in the biblical God (Pew Research, 2022)—Yahweh stands out. Unlike the nameless “higher power” of our culture, Yahweh is personal. He is not distant or abstract but the God who thunders from Sinai, demands obedienc...

Knowing God Through His Name: Jehovah Rapha


Knowing God Through His Name:   Jehovah Rapha Exodus 15:22-26 Theme: For the believer to explore Jehovah Rapha and live life in light of the healing power that God provides in the bitterness of our journey. Jehovah Rapha: The God Who Heals The name Jehovah Rapha comes from two Hebrew words. Yahweh (often translated as “LORD” in all capital letters in your Bible) is God’s personal name, signifying His eternal, unchanging nature. Rapha means “to heal,” “to restore,” or “to make whole.” Principle 1: We All Come to Marah Marah means “ bitterness ” Bitterness comes uninvited   Principle 2: Build Your Faith on God’s Character , Not His Miracles Note:   As the Israelites saw God’s miracles, They built their faith on what God did rather than who He is. When we anchor our faith in God’s unchanging character—His love, goodness, and faithfulness—we can trust Him even when miracles don’t come. Principle 3: For Every Marah , There Is a Jehovah Rapha No matter the bitterness you face,...
