What hope we have in our risen Lord, that death and the end of this world can’t scare us! Today Pastor Mark will speak on the hope, the expectancy, and the comfort we take in Christ and His Promises. Hearing about the end times can put fear in a lot of people’s hearts. The idea of this world coming to an end, and God’s judgment being poured out isn’t exciting for most. As Christ followers, however, we have hope. It is more than just a wish, it is an assurance. We know that the end of this world means the beginning of the next, and that is definitely worth getting excited about!

The end times topic is always a popular one amongst believers. Today Pastor Mark prepares listeners for all that Scripture reveals regarding the tribulation and rapture of the church. As Christ followers, we can be excited about what is coming! We are going to be with the Lord forever! However, we should still be aware of the world’s happenings, and not lose sight of our mission while on earth. The Lord wants to use our lives on earth to do mighty things for His Kingdom. As signs in this world begin to reveal that Christ’s return is nearing, remember that the rest of the world needs our same hope!

Do you live today with an understanding that this world is not your eternal home? Today Pastor Mark will encourage listeners to live with an eternal perspective. We know that God is in control of not just our lives, but the entire world. Too often, we try and dictate our life according to our wisdom and desires. The Lord wants to relieve of us of that stress, and allow us to simply focus on Him! There are people in our world searching for purpose and meaning without a clue of the eternity that is to come. How can your eternally-minded life help impact those who need Salvation today?
