During this month of September, we are going to be thinking about a subject which is special to many people - HEAVEN. Do you believe in heaven? Many do; some do not. The sermon today will be interspersed with the congregation singing several hymns about heaven. The congregational singing will not be on the podcast, but if you know some of these old favorite hymns, perhaps you can sing them also as we worship together.

In John’s gospel, chapter 16, the very last verse, Jesus told His followers, “In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” That’s the KJV. In another translation, that verse reads this way: “While you are in the world, you will have to suffer. But cheer up! I have defeated the world.” That sounds like something we all could use, doesn’t it? For the next few minutes we will be thinking about how Jesus was able to deal with suffering, hardships, and all other kinds of situations.

If you have ever been totally occupied in giving your full time and attention to some project, and along comes someone who interrupts you in what you’re doing, then you know just how frustrating and annoying that can be. You may be tempted to give that person “a piece of your mind.” The Bible tells us that Jesus was “in all points tempted, as we are, yet without sin.” This may well be the time when a look at how Jesus handled interruptions can help us also. That’s what our subject is this morning: “Jesus and Interruptions.”
