Sermon: Proverbs 6:6-11. Lean a Laziness Lesson from this Ant.

Heavenly riches await the Christian who is faithful in using the talents and opportunities the Lord has given! They make the effort, but are not forgiven and saved by their effort.

Instead, they look to Jesus and repent when they have not followed the commands of God and the lesson of the industrious ant.

They find forgiveness in Christ who worked for them, and in Christ, they will one day find eternal rest from their work in the presence of the Lord.

Amen
