Excellent message in preparation for the Lord's supper.

If you're a sinner and do not know Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior, now is the time to come to Him. Confess yourself as a sinner in need of Jesus to save you. He has paid the price to appease God's wrath. Call on God to save you from His wrath that will be meted out to all who refuse to receive Christ as their savior. What are you waiting for? Hell?

Am excellent message regarding the selfless sacrifice that Jesus Christ made to redeem sinners.

Pastor Barry, thank you for a sound, biblical message,

My wife and I have been watching a lot of Johnny Mac. He said something in a sermon I was listening to that I couldn't shake off. He , along with many "fundamentalists"(Ken Ham) view scripture, the bible as a whole as a book of poetry, law, allegory, story telling, parabolic...etc..etc... Sometimes literal, sometimes not. Challenging to say the least. Johnny Mac preaches that the earth was created in six 24 hour time periods. Well, he also says to test the spirits if they be true. As you also just did in this very sermon. A friend of mine , asked me about a scripture I had once talked about, a day to the Lord being a thousand years and a thousand years a day, got me thinking about this as well, and after careful reexamination of the scriptures....I got this. I have always doubted what religious people taught me, as 6 24 hour days being what Genesis 1 talked about. Was I wrong to doubt that? I believe I discovered something rather incredible. It solves a few problems people have had with the whole creation vs evolution thing. I am a die hard believer in creationism. And the reason is God said so. In the book of Genesis , Chapter 1, The first 6 days are explained as creation. The beginning of chapter 2 explains the rest from all the creation that just occurred by God. That rest is then declared as Holy. It seems up to this point is a prologue to the rest of the story. Continuing in chapter 2, it reads that in verse 4-7 that this is the history or story of the day the Lord made creation and man in.( The 6th day, per Gen 1) So in that verse , we come out of the prologue of the first 7 days, and back up, or prior to the 7th day. Back in the 6th day. After God creates man, he tells him to not eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. If he does, before the day is over, he will die. He ate the fruit. Adam died, over 900 years later. Did Adam die before the day was over? Did God lie? That is impossible. Only our understanding of His Word can be flawed. How does Adam live 900+ years and not die that day!?!??!? It must mean a "day" is not 24 hours to God. It also must mean we are all still living in the 6th day. The story keeps going... I was pondering the size of the universe and I ran across an image of the Andromeda Galaxy. Scientists estimate it is 2-4 billion light years away. Our sun is 8 light minutes away. We now understand that light travels at a rate. If the earth was created with everything else in the universe on day three, a literal 24 hour day, there's no way light from that distance would ever reach earth for us to see it. The view from earth would be darkness at night, the light from far away objects takes millions of years to reach us. Even the light from our own Milky Way Galaxy would not reach us in time to view the Glory of His immense creation. Time to an eternal being is meaningless. Psalm 90:3-4. Some say , because of this idea, God is outside all time, yet I believe, He is always present. Inside all time. Isaiah 53:4-6. Isaiah was written long before Jesus ever came , but Isaiah, carried by the Spirit wrote about the servant of Jehova as if it already had happened. The whole chapter is written in past tense. It is considered by Hebrew scholars and Christian to be prophetic in nature about the coming of the Jewish messiah, The anointed one of God. It hadn't happened yet. It is written in past tense. (It doesn't matter here if you are a follower of Christ or not) It is written in past tense. You can remind your Jewish friends. Genesis 2:2-3. That is also in past tense. As if it already happened. It hasn't. This is also prophecy. We are still in the 6th day. Hebrews 4:7-10. If you hear His voice TODAY don't be stubborn. That will hold true, for us also tomorrow and the next day and the next day....Vs 9 says quite specific that God promised a Sabbath, that has not yet come! We are still in day 6! 2nd Peter 3 :8. A day TO THE LORD is like a thousand years and a thousand a day. Time is meaningless to God. Same as Psalm 90. This scripture, in context is talking about scoffing, but, it is referring to creation also. Then Peter reminds believers, God's "day" is not like how we perceive it. Still not convinced? If you aren't, this one is undeniable. Isaiah 65:17. God is "creating new heavens and a new earth". Does that sound like He's resting, yet? 2 Cor 5:17. God makes new "creations" in Jesus. To this day. He isn't resting, yet. Still in the creating process. So to closeout this discovery that the earth could not have been created in 6 literal days, and that we are still in the 6th day..back to Genesis 1 : 31. By the end of the day, it was very good. Definitely better than good, as it started badly, with sin. We got a ways to go! Because he will have created a new heaven and earth, at the end of the 6th day. That will be very good indeed. I would imagine this viewpoint would be unifying instead of dividing. God showed me the holes.
