Lately I have been preaching from the book of Genesis. What I didn’t expect was to find that these stories from the first book of the Bible would fit so perfectly with many of the things we are facing in today’s world. I am really enjoying all the new discoveries I am finding in Genesis. I hope you are getting a lot from them too. But I want to share just a couple of things with you to help you understand better why studying Genesis has been so important, at least to me.
I hope that I am not preaching too hard to you and that you are receiving from God the things you need to receive. Because my intent is not to offend people with my preaching but to show how important it is to be a believer in the last days. As I said yesterday I really believe one of the main aspects of my job as Pastor is to see to it that you get to heaven. What I mean by that is I want to give you all the tools you need to be successful as a Christian. After all Jesus said it like this…And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. (Matthew 24:12-13) According to Jesus success is getting to heaven because you have been able to endure the pull of the world to quit living the Christian life. Many of the stories from Genesis contain truths that we need today to live the life of a true follower of Jesus. I am fighting as hard as I know to make sure that you have everything you need to get to heaven. That is why I am afraid not to give you the Word of God in a straight forward, honest way.
So just hang in there with me a little while more because I believe Jesus is on His way! And I am praying that you will hear Him welcome you into heaven!
