Dear Church Family,
My favorite season of the year is upon us. What season is that, you
may ask? That would be the Fall season. I just love the beautiful
colors during this time of year as the leaves begin to change. I don’t
like cleaning up after they fall, but that is part of it. As a sports fan,
this time of year brings about two of my favorite sports and the
festivities and gatherings that come with them. Most of you, like me,
also enjoy the temperature change as it goes down from the extreme
heat of the summer and the lowering of the humidity. I also enjoy the
smells of the harvest season such as the peanuts as they are dug up.
I love to see the beautiful fields of white cotton as they sit ready to
be picked. God talks about another kind of harvest that is also ready,
but it has nothing to do with agriculture. John 4:35b says, “Behold,
I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are
already white for Harvest!” As we enter the Fall season I want each
of you to not forget that there are lost people all around us ready to
hear the Gospel and ready to give their lives to Jesus. Cotton fields
full of white cotton, peanuts being dug up, stadiums full of people,
and leaves changing colors as they die and fall to the ground can all
remind us that the harvest of God is at hand. Tell people about
Jesus as the Day quickly approaches.
God Bless,
Pastor Jason
