September 3, 2025| Dear Church Family, This week’s lesson emphasizes three major themes: 1. Members of the heavenly commonwealth live with maturity, serving as models worthy to be emulated. 2. Christian joy, like peace, is not dependent on external circumstances, for it is rooted in a close relationship with God through Christ. 3. A joyful and contented life is possible, even in this tumultuous world, but it requires obedience to biblical principles. As members of the heavenly commonwealth, we must “walk worthy of the calling with which” we were called (Eph. 4:1, NKJV). This calling includes living with joy and peace, regardless of the difficulties we face in our work for Christ, knowing that the heavenly city is our definite home (Heb. 13:14). By faith, Abraham “waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God” (Heb. 11:10, NKJV). There is “an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven,” for us (1 Pet. 1:4, NKJV). |
