00:00We've got most of them here, but let's sing the psalm anyway.
00:10Praise Him, praise Him, all His little children.
00:14God is love, God is love.
00:18Praise Him, praise Him, all His little children.
00:22God is love, God is love.
00:26God is love, God is love.
00:56God is love, God is love.
00:58Labor Day, yes.
01:00So Ali, since you've read it to your brother, do you know what Labor Day is all about?
01:05No, okay.
01:07Basically, we'll short hand it for you all today.
01:10It's basically like the word labor, say labor.
01:13Labor just means work.
01:15So it's a way to recognize those who work and give us one day, I guess, when we should be thankful for the one day out of the year that we get to take off.
01:25And you all at school also get to take that day off.
01:28Now, there's more to the holiday, but more to the point.
01:31What if God gave you a job to do?
01:36And with that job to do, when God gives us a job to do, do you think that we should be the happiest, most excited, most thankful, most joyful, most grateful people in the world?
01:47We should be.
01:47Do you think, yes or no?
01:49Yes.
01:50Yes, right.
01:50So if God gives you a job, even if it's a difficult job, we should have that mindset, we should be joyful.
01:56But let me tell you, there's a sad reality, children and parents, thank you, Gui Hadrian, that Christians talking about the joy of the Lord be like this much of the time.
02:10Right?
02:11Yeah, hey, we need to be all about the joy of the Lord.
02:14Yeah.
02:15You know who that is, by the way?
02:16This is a Muppet from the old days.
02:18His name is Sam the Eagle.
02:20From the old Muppets.
02:22Some of you may remember the reference, Sam the Eagle.
02:25But sad to say, a lot of times, if we're honest, when we're given a job by God or by others, this is our joy of the Lord.
02:34Right?
02:35But we're going to change that, because we have a memory verse today, and the memory verse goes like this.
02:40Let's say it all together.
02:42Serve with a good attitude, as to the Lord, and not to people.
02:48Ephesians 6, 7.
02:50Serve with a good attitude.
02:54And as you can see, whenever we serve, we work, we do school, we do chores at home, whatever it is we do, when we serve with a good attitude, and there's the key phrase there, we serve with a good attitude?
03:07As soon as to the Lord.
03:10That's the most important thing.
03:12Jesus is our king, the Lord is our master, he's our boss, he's, insert the name that you want to give to the Lord there.
03:20But when we serve with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to people, we are truly blessed.
03:26And we will truly show the joy of the Lord in our lives.
03:29So let's pray.
03:30Hold your hands, bow your heads, close your eyes, repeat after me, and say, Father God, thank you for giving work and school to all of us.
03:43To all of us, an opportunity to serve you and serve others.
03:51Help me, by your spirit, to serve with a good attitude, with gladness, with joy.
04:01For you, O Lord, will not come to you.
04:07In Jesus' name.
04:09Amen.
04:10Amen.
04:11Give the kids a hand.
04:12They're going to Sunday school.
