Today and next week, and we will have walked through the Bible in 2019. If this is your first time here, you just made it, kind of, to the 41st of 42 messages. I think this has been a great year as we have connected some dots, got a better feel for the big picture, maybe seen some passages we’ve not seen before. And as we now turn the corner to head home we come to a sad story. There’s a conflict between two people in the church, two pillars of the church, two people deeply loved in the church. And there’s not a good ending. I want God to step in and show us whose right and wrong, and then resolution; but we won’t get it.

The decades are adding up that we have been educated to believe we came from nothing and we return to nothing. There’s no God. There’s no after life. This is it. That is what the science says, if we look at the evidence like they do and ignore what they do. When one accepts as true that which they would not normally accept in the lab of science, like nothing can create something. In my opinion science has created an unintended consequence. If we came from nothing and return to nothing; how are we to believe there is any purpose, any meaning in between the nothingness and randomness?

Our love for Jesus does not just lead us to obedience to Jesus, but an eager obedience. Not how can I obey one day, but how can I obey right now. These passages and others show us that delayed obedience can become disobedience. This all means that the time to forgive is now. The time to ask forgiveness is now. The time to bring your finances under the Lord and give to Him what is His, is now. The time to come to Christ is now.

We face problems inside the family, and we face attacks from outside, the world. We can be doing everything right and still face these problems. The only successful way to handle tribulation, problems is under the influence of the Spirit.

As a church, as individuals we value certain things above all others and one of those things here at The Heights is we live to tell. We value this as our commission from the Lord, as our identity, as the thing we are to be doing in all things.
