Your Labor is not in Vain.
Being tempted to take a short-cut today? Tempted to practice an old habit (you know the old “go for what you know” routine), tempted to a step back, and eventually quit, or are you tempted to take over, make independent decisions, take credit, and ignore important others?
Step back, and meditate on I Cor.15:58: “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.”
God does not consider you or your labor (“toil”) worthless. The long hours, energetic, and selfless effort you give, is always noticed by the God. In the Lord, you will receive a reward in this life and in the life to come. Be encouraged, “your labor is not in vain.”
God Bless,

Super Bowl Weekend for the Church
Super Bowl Weekend for the Church
Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday is a time of sober reflection, and the highest level of celebration for believers all around the world. This is Super Bowl weekend for the church.
Jesus died on the cross, and rose again from the dead so that our sins could be forgiven, and we can have an eternal love relationship with the living God (John 3:16).
As you reflect on this unconditional, “never been loved like this before,” love, respond to God’s love by sharing the message about Jesus with others,
Invite someone to church, pray for non-Christians to hear the message and put their faith in Jesus.
Finally, live the changed life for Jesus, be in God’s house for worship this weekend, and enjoy rich fellowship afterwards.
Check out Mtzionontario.com for our worship times.

God’s Abundance for You.
God’s Abundance for You.
“He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, but he who pursues worthless things lacks sense (Prov. 12:11-12). Instead of spinning into the misery of discontentment behind comparing your life, possessions, and opportunities with that of others, try life God’s way. Take “your land” (what God gives you), and use God’s wisdom to consistently implement best practices (till your land) and enjoy the abundance God has for you (plenty of bread).
Stop worthless fantasizing about stuff, and diligently work for the abundance God has for you.
