Monday - "The End?"

This weekend we talked a lot about the end times... the end of the world. I spoke with many people at our Cooper City Campus (and on your Internet Campus) who seemed to want to avoid the topic altogether...that they were afraid. While I understand that at first read (or tenth read), the book of Revelation can seem scary... but I want you to remember and reflect on one verse this morning....

Matthew 28:20b "...And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Jesus didn't say..."When things get scary...you're on your own!" or "Good luck with that 'end of the Earth thing.'"

He said He'd be with you. Forever.

Count on that today...don't let the end of the world...or the end of the day...or the end of a job...or the end of your money...or the end of a relationship...or the end of the vacation take away your joy.

If you are a Christ-follower...you have Jesus. Isn't that really all that you need?

JOURNAL: In your journal today, commit that you will focus on the power of Christ over the weakness of crisis.... He is with you!

See you tomorrow,
Pastor Brian
