A PASTOR’S PONDERINGS

While preaching on Christ being

our burden bearer, a preacher

raised his glass of water and asked,

“How heavy is this glass of water?”

As folks thought about the answer,

the preacher said, “The absolute

weight doesn't matter. It depends

on how long I try to hold it. If I hold

it for a minute, that's not a problem.

If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an

ache in my right arm. If I hold it for

a day, you may need to call

an ambulance. In each case, it's the

same weight, but the longer I try to

hold it, the heavier it becomes.”

What a wonderful yet simple

illustration about the burdens we all

carry. Sooner or later, as our

burden becomes increasingly

heavy, the moment will come when

we won't be able to carry on in our

own power.

The burdens of this life can be too

hard to bear at times, so let me leave

you today with these very

comforting words of Jesus…

Come unto me, all ye that labor

and are heavy laden,

and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you,

and learn of me;

for I am meek and lowly in heart:

and ye shall find

rest unto your souls.

For my yoke is easy,

and my burden is light.

(Matthew 11 : 28–30)

Missionaries of the Week

Kirk & Karen Kirkland have four

children and are serving as church

planters in Ohio.

“We moved to Cincinnati to plant Revive City Church. I realize now we were crazy. I walked away from a steady paycheck, and my wife was nine months pregnant,” Kirk explains. “When we started, we had no denomination or network behind us. We felt alone.” They started their first church in a downtown, multi-ethnic area with great spiritual need. In 2016, they prayed about starting a second church. Only this time, they knew they did not have to do it alone. “That’s when we became a part of the Southern Baptist Convention, and it’s the best move we ever made,” says Kirk. As Southern Baptist church planting missionaries, the Kirklands received the support to successfully launch a second church and expand their community outreach ministries. They now are looking forward to planting additional churches as God leads. They ask us to PRAY for the church leaders to develop disciples and multiply small groups throughout the Cincinnati metro area. PRAY for their plans to plant a third church.
