Title: At Ease in Zion


1
At Ease in Zion
Woe to you who are at ease in Zion, And trust in
Mount Samaria, Notable persons in the chief
nation, To whom the house of Israel comes! (61)
  • Amos 61-8

2
Amos 63-6
  • Woe to you who put far off the day of doom, Who
    cause the seat of violence to come near 4Who lie
    on beds of ivory, Stretch out on your couches,
    Eat lambs from the flock And calves from the
    midst of the stall 5Who sing idly to the sound
    of stringed instruments, And invent for
    yourselves musical instruments like David 6Who
    drink wine from bowls, And anoint yourselves with
    the best ointments, But are not
    grieved for the affliction of
    Joseph.

3
Amos 67-8
  • Therefore they shall now go captive as the first
    of the captives, And those who recline at
    banquets shall be removed. 8The Lord GOD has
    sworn by Himself, The LORD God of hosts says  "I
    abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his palaces
    Therefore I will deliver up the city and all that
    is in it.

At Ease in Zion
If Christians are at ease today
  • It isnt because there is nothing to do
  • 1 Corinthians 1557-58 Ephesians 28-10

5
1 Corinthians 1557-58
  • But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory
    through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58Therefore, my
    beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always
    abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that
    your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

6
Ephesians 28-10
  • For by grace you have been saved through faith,
    and that not of yourselves it is the gift of
    God, 9not of works, lest anyone should boast.
    10For we are His workmanship, created in Christ
    Jesus for good works, which God prepared
    beforehand that we should walk in them.

At Ease in Zion
If Christians are at ease today
  • It isnt because there is nothing to do
  • 1 Cor. 1557-58 Eph. 28-10
  • It isnt because there is an excess of workers
  • Matt. 935-38 Col. 410-11 2 Tim. 49-12

8
Matthew 935-38
  • Then Jesus went about all the cities and
    villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching
    the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every
    sickness and every disease among the people.
    36But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved
    with compassion for them, because they were weary
    and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.
    37Then He said to His disciples, The harvest
    truly is plentiful, but the laborers are
    few. 38Therefore pray the Lord of the
    harvest to send out laborers into His
    harvest.

9
Colossians 410-11
  • Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with
    Mark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you
    received instructions if he comes to you,
    welcome him), 11and Jesus who is called Justus.
    These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom
    of God who are of the circumcision they have
    proved to be a comfort to me.

10
2 Timothy 49-12
  • Be diligent to come to me quickly 10for Demas
    has forsaken me, having loved this present world,
    and has departed for Thessalonica--Crescens for
    Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. 11Only Luke is with
    me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is
    useful to me for ministry. 12And Tychicus I have
    sent to Ephesus.

At Ease in Zion
If Christians are at ease today
  • It isnt because there is nothing to do
  • 1 Cor. 1557-58 Eph. 28-10
  • It isnt because there is an excess of workers
  • Matt. 935-38 Col. 410-11 2 Tim. 49-12
  • It isnt because there is plenty of time
  • 2 Cor. 61-2 Eph. 515-16 James 413-17

12
2 Corinthians 61-2
  • We then, as workers together with Him also plead
    with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
    2For He says In an acceptable time I have heard
    you, And in the day of salvation I have helped
    you. Behold, now is the accepted time behold,
    now is the day of salvation.

13
Ephesians 515-16
  • See then that you walk circumspectly, not as
    fools but as wise, 16redeeming the time, because
    the days are evil.

14
James 413-17
  • Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow we
    will go to such and such a city, spend a year
    there, buy and sell, and make a profit
    14whereas you do not know what will happen
    tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a
    vapor that appears for a little time and then
    vanishes away. 15Instead you ought to say, If
    the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or
    that. 16But now you boast in your arrogance. All
    such boasting is evil. 17Therefore, to him who
    knows to do good and does not do it, to
    him it is sin.

15
We Must be Diligent in the Lords Service
Titus 211-14
  • For the grace of God that brings salvation has
    appeared to all men, 12teaching us that, denying
    ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live
    soberly, righteously, and godly in the present
    age, 13looking for the blessed hope and glorious
    appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus
    Christ, 14who gave Himself for us, that He might
    redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for
    Himself His own special people, zealous for good
    works.
