Victory Today

In Matt.24 He says "I'm coming again. I'm coming again". In 25 He tells three stories. The wise and foolish virgins, (Be ready) The parable of the talents. (Make sure you've used your talents for Him. And the last story tells us how we are to use those talents.

Probably the most often asked question I get is "when do you think the Lord is coming?" My answer is usually "when God says go He is coming" BUT---one thing is certain someday He is coming for sure. Our job today is to make sure we are ready and to pray those we love are ready and not left behind.

Most realize it is a much different world today than the one we grew up in BUT Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is still the only answer for broken live and especially for our children.

Is America/Canada really split 50-50 on Araditional moral values? The real situation with Isreal. What can we do about racism in America? What should I as a Christian do in these times?

Consequences! Return to preaching about the consequences of not trusting Christ. Hell! Consequences in the judicial system. Consequences in our schools. The general consequences of life!

John 14:13 "That the Father is glorified"---is what you are asking for going to glorify the Father? Then go for it know He is able and loves you and you are a "Kings Kid."

Today we will take you to an actual chapel service at Freedom Village. You will also find out how we dealt with racism. In 40 years we had I incident of racism though we had every race over the years under the sun.

The Bible is full of evidence of the depth of God's love. The biggest thing Satan tries to stop is you from knowing just how much God loves you. Knowledge and love and a whole bunch of other things are all available through the Holy Spirit and today we will examine how the Holy Spirit can reveal them to you.

Paul in Eph.1:6 was amazed he was accepted in the beloved. I love where H.G. Spafford wrote in the hymn It is well with my sould----"God has regarded my hekpless estate and shed His own blood for my souls." Folks, the saying goes: "When you come to the place He is all you've got you will find He is all you need."

You will never understand how to fully trust Him until you grasp His total love and forgiveness for you. Ask yourselp: Have they ever disproved one thing in His Word? Have you ever discovered one person He failed or one promise He fail to keep to anyone in His Word? So you think you will be the first person in history He ever failed?

There is a difference between salvation and working on our fellowship with Him. Much of our struggles and failures are in the fellpwhip area. We are all broken people and if Satan loses the battle over salvation with a person he immedeately fires his wicked darts at their fellowship with God and sadly he has more wicked "firery darts" than ever to fire at us.

We live in a media/internet driven world and Satan is using it to the fullest. 75% of Christians report they have trouble fully trusting God. Many also say they struggle with sexual allurments and staying off social media. 

75% of recently surveyed Christians sais there number one struggle was fully trusting. They could trust 80% of the time BUT struggled trusting all the time. Abraham in Romans 4 said he was "fully persuaded," Joshua said "I and I alone totally believed>" We akk fail Him at times. What does it take to fully trust?

What is the biggest threat to Christians? What should we do about illigals with CDL licenses driving tractir trailers? What should we do about teen riots? What we taught at the Village about manhood and womanhood? Special birthday song for a friend Blessed Assurance

Far too many of us let the cares of this world smother the promises God has for us in His Word. We need to be aware of the wickedness around us and therefore gow close we are getting to THAT day BUT never forget God loves us and He is always in control and He has a book full of promises just for you and me..

Phil.4:8  There is no question there is enough evil surrounding us but we are in charge of our thoughts and how it controls our outlook. We are to know what is happening(Hosea 4:6) but not to the point we forget His promises and His goodness and what He promises lies ahead.

Oft times it takes a birthday or other special occasion for us to say I love you. Yes, it's a difficult time for many but there are so many things we are to be thankful for. Today we will remember some of those.

Special Memorial Day program

What is my favorite promise in the Bible? What do I think about Iran? Why won't more preachers preach straight truth and speal out on moral issues? Truth about teen riots. Parents respnsibility. A special song in honor of 92 yearold long time listener.

Many report they believe what God says and warns and promises BUT---do you really believe?

Many tell me they are amazed God hasn't sent Jesus to return before now. The question is not IF but WHEN. Whenever that day comes there is a day before that day and we will face the great cloud of witnesses spoken of in Hebrew 12.

Hebrews 12 talks about a "great cloud of witness" who were slain and horribly persecuted for their faith who are in heaven watching us. Pastors killed for preaching what others today are afraid to mention. People who have watched their children slaughtered for teaching them the Lord's prayer while they won't even read the Bible to them. May God wake up this generation.

Obviously many are looking for the day of the Lord's return BUT there is a day coming before that day. Likewise many forget that when the Lord returns any and all who do not know Christ are left behind and all who are raptured stand before Him and give an account of our lives.

Family challenges and divisions. Putting mom or dad in nursing homes? When I think Jesus will come. What I think about Iran. Choosing the right church.

There are wicked patterns developing that are Satan's attcks on God's people, the church, our children and the traditional moral values of our countries. Beware!
