This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

Don't Leave Home Without It!

Let me ask you a simple question. When was the last time you opened your Bible on a Tuesday? Not on Sunday. On a plain, ordinary Tuesday. Honestly, for a lot of us, that question stings a little.

We love the Bible. We just don't read it very much.

Here's a thought that has stuck with me. Satan deceived one-third of the angels. Imagine what he is capable of doing with a generation that does not read the Bible. Let that sink in. Angels stood in the very presence of God, and still many were fooled.

How much more could we be fooled if we never open the Book?

Today we're in 2 Timothy 3:14–17. The apostle Paul is in a cold Roman prison. He knows he will die soon. And he writes one last letter to a young pastor named Timothy. His message is clear. The world is full of deceivers. So stay with the Scriptures. Keep going back to the Book.

This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

Who Can Stand?

Today we open one of the most hopeful pages in the whole Bible. Revelation 7:9-17. Now, I know. Revelation can feel like the scary book. Horsemen. Earthquakes. Falling stars. But right in the middle of all the shaking, God pulls back the curtain. And what do we see? Not chaos. A crowd. A crowd so big that nobody can count it. People from every nation on earth.

They're standing before God's throne. They're dressed in white. They're waving palm branches. And they're singing.

Here's the thing. Just one verse before this chapter, people on earth cry out a scary question. "Who is able to stand?" Revelation 7 gives the answer. The ones who stand are the ones washed in the blood of the Lamb.

Today we're talking about something every one of us will face. Death. Honestly, most of us would rather not talk about it. But you know what? God does talk about it. And He talks about it with hope.

Our text is 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18. It's only six verses. But those six verses have been read beside more graves than almost any other passage in the Bible. And for good reason. They're full of hope.

Here's what we'll see. First, we grieve, but we grieve with hope. Christians cry. Jesus cried. But our tears have a floor under them. Second, Jesus is coming back, and the dead in Christ will rise first. The believers we've buried aren't forgotten. They're first in line. Third, we will be together with the Lord forever. So we comfort one another with these words.

Let me give you a few things to do as you listen. Think of someone you love who has died in the Lord. Hold their name in your heart. Then think of someone who is grieving right now. Ask God how you might bring them comfort this week. And ask yourself one honest question. If Jesus came back today, would I be ready? Honestly, that's the question that matters most.
