SURFING WITH JESUS
Pastor Gene A. Dasher, Sr.
Are you ready for the real Super Bowl? He Could Come
Today
many will skip church and get ready for the big event, the Super Bowl. Those
that do go to church will be asking Seahawks or Patriots? Even if you are not a
football fan, you have heard it until you are tired of hearing it. Regardless
of whether you are interested or not you get caught up with the events of the
day.
How
many of you are tired of grown men going at it all for a little ball and a
trophy or ring at the end of the day? Are
you tired of hearing he cheated, he is a mean player, our defense will show
him, their offense is not as good as ours? On and on it goes.
Well
what if the Lord came back today? Would we be so caught up with worldly things and
not see his return? Do you think it’s time we take the return of our Lord as
serious as we do the Super Bowl?
Are
souls really dying? Are they really crying, do they want to hear someone
proclaim Jesus and share the message of his love with them?
Acts
1:1-11(KJV)
1 The
former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do
and teach,
2 Until
the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had
given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
3 To
whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs,
being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the
kingdom of God:
4 And,
being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart
from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye
have heard of me.
5 For
John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost
not many days hence.
6 When
they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou
at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 And
he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which
the Father hath put in his own power.
8 But
ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye
shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in
Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
9 And
when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a
cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And
while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood
by them in white apparel;
11 Which
also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same
Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as
ye have seen him go into heaven.
What if that was today? Would we be so focused on the Super Bowl
of man that we would not see Jesus? Would we be so wrapped up with the
excitement of man’s game that our Lord would come and we not see him?
You say preacher that’s not possible? I don’t know Noah, warned
them for many years that a flood was coming and only after the door to the ark
was shut and the waters begin to rise did they realize it was taking place and
it was too late for them.
Matthew 24:36 (KJV)
36 But
of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my
Father only.
Just a portion of today’s sermon.
REMEMBER
“If we confess our sins he is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.” 1John 1:9
