Untitled Sermon (4)

Ecclesiastes 3:1–8 NIV

1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

Isaiah 40:8 NIV

8 The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.”

I just want to get back to church.

Things will be better when I get back to church

We are living in the end times, or the end times are happening now. Now this may not make me popular and that is alright but if you truly believe that this is the end and Christ is coming back soon then what are you doing with the Gospel message sitting there wanting to comeback to a building where people who are already going to spend eternity with Jesus are gathered. Why are you desiring a building instead of using your time at home with nothing else to do except saying the end is near instead of giving others the hope found Christ. Finally, why are you trying to predict and tell people something that not even Jesus knows?

Mark 13:32 NRSV

32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
