The LIVING GOD #REST
Did God #Work? Did God Rest? “We’ll work ’til #Jesus #Comes” is an old song that we sang joyfully many years ago. Today I see people avoiding work while they constantly complain. What does Hebrews 3:12 say about our LIVING GOD’S WORK AND REST? Today; urge one another to be partners with Christ, hear His voice, harden not your heart in unbelief by forsaking the LIVING GOD. 3:19 “So we see that they could not enter into His REST because of unbelief.” 4:3″For we which have BELIEVED do enter into REST,….. the works were finished from the foundation of the world…as God did REST the seventh day from all HIS WORKS. 10 For he that is entered into his REST, he also has to cease from his own works, as God did from His. Let us labor to enter into that REST lest any man fall into unbelief. 6.See it remains that some still must enter (His rest) 7.harden not your hearts. 8,9 “For if Jesus had given them REST, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. THERE REMAINS A REST TO THE PEOPLE OF GOD.”
The Ground For Giving
19851027 The Ground For Giving - Rev. Tommy Jones
God doesn’t need your #money. After all, where do you think it came from in the first place. However, cheerful #giving back to God and our fellow man is a sign of what? Most preachers don’t enjoy bringing up the subject of giving just because of the all too human desire people have to hold onto everything they can get. I have to admit that it is a subject I avoid posting because it is not as eye catching as many of the other titles I have to close from in the archives. But there are blessings to be gained from obedience to this command. What does the Bible say about giving? If you build a factory yourself, is it yours? What about the goods produced when it is up and running? If your factory gets confiscated, and you buy it back, who owns it now?
Here is the four part series of messages Brother Tommy gave on this subject. See below for the other three parts.

God’s Purpose
The LIVING GOD #BUILT
Building runs in my bloodline. My grandfather, ‘Barns’, was a #master #carpenter in the 1900’s who built beautiful churches, court houses, homes, and barns that I saw and attended while growing up in Texas. My father followed in his father’s profession and became a commercial contractor. I am still enamored with the building process and cringe when I see the wrecking ball hitting beautiful structures. I can see a parallel between God ‘s perfectly built creation of all things and Satan’s Wrecking Ball of Destruction. We are completing the Sukkah with booths of temporary shelter all the while looking forward to our permanent shelter with our Lord and Savior. “Members of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, CHRIST JESUS;…for every house is BUILT by some man; but HE that BUILT ALL THINGS IS GOD.…Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.” Heb.3
