“Toiling to build the church well”: 1 Cor 15:58; Eph 3:20-21 1. Toiling in Vain A. Meaningless “when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.”(Ecclesiastes 2:11 NIV11) “I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me.” Eccl 2:18 1Cor. 9:26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. B. Unspiritual Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—for he grants sleep to those he loves. Ps 127:1-2 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus C

Always Free, Yet Spiritual Today we are seeking to answer the following questions: Where does our freedom come from? What could compromise our freedom? What is this freedom for? This is an enormous spiritual topic. We will not do it for justice in one lesson. For the time being, I will concern myself with putting my sermon outline below along with the Scriptures referenced. “Always free, yet spiritual”, Gal 5:13 Introduction, Luke 4:18-19 1. Where does our freedom come from? A. Jesus, John 8:31-36 B. What kind of freedom? Is 61:1 -  an event required every fifty years to restore Israelite slaves to freedom and Israelite land to tribal allotments. “To whatever extent the Gospel writers may have been influenced by other ways of thinking about freedom, the freedom they describe is neither the political freedom of individuals or states which was of primary interest to the Greeks, nor the inner philosophical freedom of the Stoics who abandoned themselves to circumstances, nor the freedom which the devout J
