"Think Outside the Box" - Pastor Ron Hoak

In sharing the Gospel one of the most important things is to start the conversation.

The best way to overcome the fear that COVID brings is to realize that nothing catches God by surprise.

The Apostle Paul taught us, “Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.”

In 2 Peter, we learn that “The Day of The Lord” is both a day of judgement and of salvation.

Peter calls for us to practice holiness and righteousness.

If you practice the Acronym YOLO, Solomon reminds us that it ends in death.

The second Advent, (coming), of Jesus brings salvation to those who eagerly seek Him

What kind of Box are we to think outside of? A coffin.

Jesus teaches us that he is coming again, He admonishes us the we must be ready when he comes.

What do we take with us when we leave this earth? Nothing.

What do we leave behind? A legacy.

What are three things we can do to develop a legacy of Faith to leave behind. Share your EXPERIENCE in Christ.

Set an EXAMPLE to follow, and make Jesus matter in your life.

You may not have been as influential in your life as say, Billy Graham, but God doesn’t judge us on that, what he wants is to be able say upon our entering Heaven, “'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness
