Summary
This evening English service opened with several testimonies. A young man shared that a living relationship with the Holy Spirit lets God touch others even through ordinary conversations. A new believer baptized the day before described feeling washed clean of his sins. A young woman told how she felt God's presence again after her house burned down, and a truck driver testified that when his brakes failed he cried out the name of Jesus and saw God intervene.
The main message turned to the end times. The preacher reminded the church that no one knows the day or hour of Christ's return, just as the people in Noah's day were caught unaware by the flood. Whether He comes tomorrow or in a thousand years, our task is unchanged: to decide where we will spend eternity and then live each day with that destination in view, following the Son the way a lost hiker follows the sun home.
He warned against treating Jesus as only a figure from history. Jesus is alive, He speaks, comforts and answers prayer today. We are strangers and pilgrims here, so we should not blend into the world or hoard its treasures, for our reward is in heaven. The pastor closed by calling the church to be unashamed witnesses, beginning not with faraway places but with the neighbors on their own street.
Key Points
- No one knows the day or hour of Christ's return, so live ready, like those caught off guard by the flood in Noah's day.
- The purpose of life is to settle where you will spend eternity, then live every day with that destination in mind.
- When you know where you are headed, even a hard road becomes easier - follow the Son who walks ahead of you.
- Jesus did not stay in the past; He is alive, speaking, comforting and answering prayer right now.
- We are strangers and pilgrims here; do not blend into the world or store up its treasures, for fame and fortune cannot give true joy.
- A genuine relationship with the Holy Spirit is what lets God work through you to reach others.
- Be an unashamed witness, starting with the neighbors right next to you, not only with those far away.
Devotional
Ask yourself honestly today where your treasure really lies. It is easy to trust God when life is good, but the real test comes when the road turns dark and doubt whispers that He has forgotten you. Remember that you are only passing through this world; your true home and reward are still ahead. Keep your eyes on the Son who leads the way, talk with Him as Someone present and near, and let go of whatever you are clutching here below. Then live this ordinary day as if eternity depends on it, because it does.
Jesus is not 'was' - He is: He speaks, comforts and answers prayer today.
We are only passing through this world; our true reward waits in heaven.
Fame and fortune will never bring happiness - real joy comes only from Christ.

pray that you that you help us and keep us in Jesus name we pray amen hello everybody there's a great worship I actually wanted to point out we have these welcome cards I'm not seeing many many new faces to be honest but we have them and if you guys want to you know comment or you know even though you you may have already been here a couple times or whatever always come but you can just leave some comments some suggestions whatever it is that you know whatever it is that's on your heart so I'll have him here but before we completely dive into our service I'm going to start it off with a short testimony I would like to talk about something in my life that I realized through my relationship with the Holy Spirit in in order to influence people and to inspire people to help people kind of you know seek God or maybe find God for the first time so I guess some examples would be you know I have friends the friends that I go to gym with some this friend particularly I went to the gym with with him and we go often and so and so you know one time specifically we went and we were working out and he looks at me he says does you know what I like I like when I spend time with you and I go wait why is that and he's like you know like during my week during my days in my life like I noticed that a lot of times you know I have a lot of pressure anxiety stress whatever for some reason you know when I spend time with you or I'm around you it feels like it kind of goes away or I'm a relief for him and I'm I feel Pete I'm like that's funny I'm like you know why you know he's and he said you know I said he feels like you know it's like as if you know God kind of either speaks through me or kind of you know God the Holy Spirit uses me to kind of touch touch him you know and every time he's around me and so for me like this is one example but I started to learn over time that through through just having a relationship with the Holy Spirit through spending time with the Holy Spirit and fellowship and simply asking the Holy Spirit to to use you no matter where you are who you are you spend time with people and the deeper your relationship with the Holy Spirit is the more you'll be able to recognize the voice and you will know how to speak into that person's life life in order to inspire them in order to kind of encourage them and and sometimes you know especially early on in my you know in my walk doing this I didn't even know I was doing anything to inspire these people it took it's like it was a matter of time before I realized that you know what the Holy Spirit was doing through me was actually working for that person and then I started over time realizing you know that there's the cues that the Holy Spirit gives me kind of like oh I'm trying to speak this into this person's life or I'm trying to you know help this person with this you know so a lot of times you know when we start going into this direction oh you know we want to tell people about God encourage people you know give them support than whatever and you know if we're doing it without the Holy Spirit it's just it's just like being a counselor or like a therapist you know and but if we do it with the Holy Spirit over time you actually start through that relationship like I said you start to be able to actually truly allow the Holy Spirit to work through you to influence that person and a lot of times we give up early on because we're like oh I just feel like this isn't working whatever you know and and we give up but sometimes it actually takes a little bit more time effort to kind of keep doing it keep asking the Holy Spirit keep spending time with people keep trying to speak you know truth into people's lives and through that God will be able ever the Holy Spirit will be able to open up himself to you in order for you to recognize how he works through you in order to inspire other people so I hope that you know help some of you guys out as far as you know spreading the gospel or just you know a lot of times it's as simple as spending time with people and just having a positive attitude and you know and and speaking about your Creator Jesus the one who died on the cross for you so I've seen you a lot of familiar faces and honestly I was I was going to share something else but since you know I feel like a lot of you guys are already firm believers and just need this I threw it out there for you guys so god bless you my friend David will be up next for me it all started back in like around the March that was when I received the Holy Spirit and prior to that point I always like I always believed in God I always went to church but I always felt like I was just going through all the motions you know because my parents went to church and I would just go to church and most my friends went there so I would just see them but there it got to a point where I like a lot of the stress from my life it became overwhelming and I kept in like wondering why and I tried praying and praying but I realized that I never it was never really a sincere prayer I just kind of like just said the words I never actually like actually meant it in my heart so yeah it was just one prayer a very strange it was like the easiest and at the same time like the hardest thing I've ever did I just kind of dropped all of my like kind of my inhibitions in my head like oh my doubt and I just started praying I remember it was what pastor Nicolai we we prayed and I received the Holy Spirit and I felt amazing the rest of the day I just I had a big big grin on my face the rest of the day and from there like I ended up sorry I end up kind of I still like went to church I became more of a believer but I was kind of backtracked a little bit but then I am that I'm thinking I just kept on praying and kept on praying and I asked God like what else do I need to do and I he pointing me to baptism and as you know yesterday I got baptized and also a very amazing decision and I felt like as I came out of the water like I felt like at a clean slate like oh my all my past sins are all forgiven and I just wanted to let you guys know that even if you have like that little level of doubt that's like the devil trying to undermine you undermine your belief and as long as as soon as you drop all those like all that doubt then God can like work with wonders in your life thank you and I'm gonna introduce my friend Anastasia next thank you okay good evening everyone so I also have like a short testimony um so recently I started going to a Christian college and we were all supposed to tell a testimony and I didn't really know what my testimony was because I grew up in the Christian family and I've always known God and he was always there for me so I didn't really know what my testimony was and um I asked my friend one of my classmates what like what how do I know what my testimony is and she told me that it's the moment when you realize like when you feel God's presence and you realized that he's actually there so this is like the main point of my testimony is being able to feel God's presence and truly knowing that he is here and he is with us all the time so um of course I grew up in the Christian family and um I always knew that I want to get closer to God I want be always with him and I thought it was like such a great feeling to be around him you know like having him be next to me and that was kind of like on a like on a high I guess you can say where like I always wanted more of him and get to know him more so I got my Holy Spirit and I then decided to go get my water baptism and like they always say when you get closer to God the devil wants to hit you harder and that summer my house burnt down and I thought I had all under control like I can handle it um I got God on my side you know and I just got baptized you know and everything so it's all good but a few months later into it like I started feeling the side-effects of not having a home and just like being lost and so slowly like inside like I started to tearing and I started having thoughts of doubt and like if God really existed and if he's like if like all of this is like even worth it and I didn't know that these thoughts were actually eating away at me they were like destroying me from inside I would just come to church and I would be like an empty shell I wouldn't sing I wouldn't pray and I wouldn't focus on anything that anyone was saying and this went on for like a month like like for a while so I decided to come to prayer one night Monday prayers and I just sat there in the corner and just silently just like keeping to myself and God used a lady in the prayer and she came up to me and she spoke God's Word and she said everything that was deep down in my heart that I'd even say out loud to myself that I didn't tell anyone else it was something that like I thought like oh I'll just push it down it's not true it's not real I would push it down and he brought it back up he's like no like Oh everything that you're feeling thinking it's all wrong you know like I'm here like like that's when I experienced that he is like in me through me everywhere around me and that he is so real like it's amazing even though we don't feel him see him we can sense him he's Ashley there and that's when my eyes opened up and I was like wow God you are amazing you're like like greatly like there and it's just like my eyes were like up like in the different world and so he told me to go out there you know preach and I will not preach but say like talk about him and like just like yeah like like you know voice might like about him so I I didn't really think anything of it until I started going to that Christian college and I talked about it and that's when I realized how strong testimonies are not only where everyone is coming from how like God is working through them and like how how everyone experiences God in a different way so thank you for giving me a chance to speak up here and I will invite you my best friend Ellen okay so for me my I'm here for a testimony but for me it's more of like what I've been learning through my school that we're going to and so first I want to ask each individual here who is God to you I've been asking this question to a couple people and some people say he's a healer some people say he's like I've heard from a-to-z so many different answers and I personally looked it up and I found a Bible passage that suits who God is for me and it's isaiah 40:28 it says do you not know or have you not heard the Lord is the everlasting God the creator of the heavens and the earth he will not grow tired or weary and his understanding no one can fathom and for me this verse really stood out because it says mainly the part that says he will not grow tired or weary and for me like whenever I'm weak whenever I'm down I always think like God doesn't have energy for me God like too tired to hear my problem and the Bible verse practically says he will not grow tired or weary so it gives confidence and another thing I learned is like we can't limit God according to what we think he can do God can do so much more than what our mind can comprehend and for example I want to share a family member my aunt she she has a living testimony of how she people were telling her she's sick she's sick and she said no I trusted my God and he's he's gonna heal me and that's like kind of where my where my topic is is just trust in God and that's what I've been learning for the last two weeks and the Bible verse I want to share is James 2:112 it says blessed is the one who preserves under trial because having stood that test the person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him and just like for me personally standing on this stage is out of my comfort zone I it's but that's that's like when you take that step that's when you have to trust God like right now I'm trusting that God is but so it's like my point in that is it's easy to trust God when we're when our life is good like Papa Mars I said when your marriage is good when everything's good in your life it's easy to trust in God but whenever like you're in that pitfall when you're having problems when you're just like struggling that's when you have to really rely and trust God and that's when the test really comes do you really trust God and do you really trust that it's all in his hand and I went an another major thing that I learned in this school is like through all of the problems that I've had in the past or all of the time so I was so weak I I just learned to look back at that and I had a moment at my school where we did this and we look back and saw what God did through those hard times when we were down and we thought like the world was over what did God really do and in reality he just made us stronger he makes us stronger whenever we are weak and this is practically just he makes us into his little masterpiece and he uses us for his glory and so an example from the Bible is Daniel in the lion's den Daniel he trusted God he could have easily had that fear but since he had all his trust in God he made it out alive and God was on his side so I kind of just want to encourage you all to trust in God whenever things are hard when things are easy to always make sure to know that God is there in your finances and in your relationships and everything God is there so let go and let God praise God brothers and sisters it's my first time being here with you and I wanted to ask you a question is there power in the name of Jesus amen and I want to say a short little testimony that I will say to the whole world if I have to not be ashamed that just the word Jesus has so much power to it and from my short little testimony as you all know I'm a truck driver I Drive a 80,000 pound vehicle and a few weeks ago I was driving through Nevada and I had an air leak brake chamber pops and I lose all the airs and gone down 4% grade at 70 miles per hour and the speed limit is 55 and all the cars you know you're gonna use the RAM you're gonna get a ticket you can even get arrested and you lose your CDL you lose your job and all I could do I was so stressed out I grabbed on to the wheel I'm trying to brake there's no brakes I'm stabbing the brakes and like the devil is just already I hear like laughing saying that's it you're done and all I could do was there's a turn coming up and this was like going down there are Reno Mountains and all I could do is just scream from the bottom of my heart Jesus Jesus like repeat because I can't I'm not in the mood to pray I'm so shocked I'm so scared and the truck starts breaking by itself I pull over I come down from shock and I just start praising God and saying devil well one point one more point to God zero points to you I give him glory praise and honor one more time and forever and ever as long as I live I will give him praise because he is worthy and it's just unexplainable how last time I shared a testimony as well God is just so great and his his guardian angels they look after us so much and we just sometimes don't even realize what we take for granted and I just I'm so thankful to be here with you and together to praise and say this testimony that there is power in the name of Jesus and God bless all of you and continue to support and pray for me as I pray for all of you my loving family of Christ and may God bless all thank you we're happy you're with us still it's funny every time I preach and usually I'm the last one what happens is usually I have nothing to preach about because everything's been already said so our theme tonight is end times and it's interesting because even before I knew it was end times as a theme I was already reading revelations but when I started you know preparing for it I found myself reading from Matthew which was interesting to me so I want to start off with reading Matthew 24 36 through 40 but of that day and hour knoweth no man no no angels of heaven but my father all but as the days of Noah were so shall also the coming of the Son of man be for as it is in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking marrying and giving in marriage until the day of Noah until the day that Noah entered into the ark and they knew not until the flood came and took them all away so all shall so shall also the coming of the Son of man be when then shall two be in the field and one shall be taken the other left two shall be grinding in the mill one shall be taken and the other left sorry till 40 for watch therefore for we know not what they up what hour your Lord calm but know this that if the Goodman of the house had known it what watch the thief would come he would have watched and what have suffered his house to be broken into therefore be ye also ready for in such an hour we think not the Son of man cometh we don't know when Jesus is coming back and I know a lot of people believe that this is the generation that's going to see the second coming but I personally don't believe that and I don't think it makes a difference either because the thing I do know is that we're all going to die and whether or not he comes in a thousand years or tomorrow our purpose here is still the same and not just to serve God so it shouldn't matter if you know he's coming tomorrow you still have a purpose so I figured I'd be preaching to mostly Christians tonight and when I was thinking about what to preach about one thing stuck in my mind and that was something my dad said to me a couple of weeks ago he said do you know what the purpose of life is he said it is to decide where you will spend eternity and I started thinking about that and I'm like I know where I want to spend eternity I want to spend eternity in heaven so what do I do now get out what do I do now and I prayed and God answered me he said now that you know where you're gonna be spending eternity live a life with eternity in mind day by day week after week think of the an eternity and as we know the only two options in for this world are having our help and we have to make that decision one of the things that came to me is when you know where you're headed even though the road is difficult it makes getting to that place a lot easier I'm reminded when we went camping with our youth in North Carolina and for some reason I decided to go off into the woods by myself on a trail and I got lost so I had to make my way back and I middle of the woods I don't know where I'm going but I know how to do this one thing I know how to follow the Sun and the trick is is that you know the Sun rises in the East sets in the west I know because the Sun sets over there there's the Gulf of Mexico so because I knew where the Sun is I knew what direction I needed to head back and ask Christians we should follow the Son of God there because even though we may not necessarily feel like we have the strength or we know the path exactly even if it's difficult if we follow the Sun who is ahead of us he will take us to where we need to go God has given us everything we need he's given us the Holy Spirit and his word one thing that I noticed recently was if you look at the New Testament and you break it down when you look at the gospel what is it it's Jesus teaching his disciples it is instruction when you look at Acts it is the Apostles and the disciples disciples taking those instructions and implementing them it is them teaching by example then the rest of the books are basically more teaching and correction you know it's not so much of them doing anymore but correcting other churches and then revelations says how it all ends what happens when we do follow Christ and what happens when we don't follow Christ and as I was going into more of this one passage stuck out to me and that was Matthew 22 36 through 40 master which is the Great Commandment in the law and Jesus said unto him thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart with all thy soul with all thy mind this is the first and Great Commandment and the second is like unto it thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself one on these two Commandments hang all the law and prophecies so do we actually know Jesus do we actually love Jesus and too many Christians fall into a trap of if it's kind of Christian teepo Christian it's good it works for me and that's what the devil relies on the devil counts on people not necessarily knowing the word not having a relationship with Jesus and Matthew 24:11 tells us many false prophets will arise and deceive many and looking into the world I feel like a crazy person sometimes for being a Christian as a Christian the world doesn't make sense I remember I went to my real estate class and I wore our youth shirt which is the I am on a shame shirt and it was like the reaction I got was weird not because I was persecuted but because I was looked at as a hero like I did something courageous like I was you know in Soviet Russia being a Christian or something like oh wow you're a Christian that's amazing no but the more we look at our world the more people want to hide their Christianity the more they want to blend into this world the more they want to have Christianity and the world together you know and when I was thinking about this another passage come into my head which was Hebrews 11:13 and this whole chapter as many of you know speaks about the heroes of faith and this specific verse says these all died in faith not having received the promises but having been seen them far off and were persecuted persuaded of them and embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on this earth and it made sense so Billy Billy Graham said my home is not here I'm just passing through you know and many of you got baptized today a couple of you got baptized today and that's something you're gonna notice now is that you're gonna stand out and you're gonna feel like you want to blend in but you shouldn't you should be unashamed you should stand up you should represent who you are because you don't belong in this world you are now a part of a heavenly kingdom and you got to remember that that no matter what you're going through how difficult it is to be a Christian your reward is up there you have saw something a purpose not now in your life but the problem for most people right now is that Jesus was Jesus was a man Jesus was somebody who did this Jesus performed this he was a guy that lived 2,000 years ago but for too many Christians today it's a Wars not in it's as we heard today Jesus is Jesus is present Jesus comforts Jesus performs miracles today Jesus was with us he speaks to us he guides us he comforts us Jesus is not was but one of the things I've seen is that when we look at what Jesus commanded it love with all your heart all your soul all your strength all your mind how many of us really do I don't I'm guilty you can't lie to God why would I lie to you I I don't I have found fallings I do things that were God's putting asking me to do something and I fail him and that's a part we're all Christians most Christians I think fail they fail to put Christ in front of other things in this world and the problem is is when we don't know Christ when he is only a story in a book how strong is our faith how easily does it waver when you're coming through difficult times death in the fan cancer tribulations persecution when you don't have a relationship with Jesus how strong is that faith Jesus to me as someone who I can speak with who comforts me who I know answers my prayers because at the beginning of the year I told you to do something and I did it myself and every time I have an answered prayer I write it down I have several pages filled up at the beginning of the year because Jesus is he answers he speaks to me he guides me he comforts me and if you're standing before him in heaven will he embrace you or will he turn away from you and say I do not know you do you know who you were going to spend eternity with are you just living in a world trying to be a part of here embrace everything here and also have a reward in heaven one last point I want to make is Matthew 6:19 through 21 lay not upon yourselves treasures upon earth where moth and rust doth corrupt and where thieves break through and steal but lay upon yourself treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through nor steal for where is your treasure where your treasure is there also your heart shall be and how many Christians try to live a worldly life in a Christian life there are too many people trying to be rich on earth and rich in heaven at the same time in the news recently a younger generation knows but a rapper or musician Mac Miller overdosed and every time I hear that I'm using a celebrity committed suicide or overdose I think to myself how many people will have celebrities have to die before people understand fame and fortune will not give you happiness joy comes from Christ Amen Church our riches are in heaven and it is impossible to follow the world and follow Jesus I want to come to a close but I want to read Thessalonians 4 16 through 18 for the Lord Himself said this shall descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of an archangel with the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first and then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up and gathered with them in the clouds to meet the lord in the air and so shall we all be with the lord therefore comfort one another with these words and i want these words to be comfort i want these words to remind us how good our God is because he tells us no dents no that's that's the cool part is no matter what we're going through no matter how life hits us with no matter what kind of persecution we go through and we will go through persecution he tells us that it is worth what your reward is you know that's to me is amazing you know what's at the end of the road you don't have to wonder what's in heaven he says I haven't met so I want to ask us to stand and we're gonna pray and I want to have two prayers today one for people never experienced his presence never experienced his love and you know some of you got baptized today maybe that's what you need but I also want to have a second prayer for those who have lost their first love and john and revelations speaks of the church in a thesis and says you have lost your first thought return to your first and I wasted a hunger target I wasted something that he gave me a posture to feel his presence to kill him and I wasted and I'm guilty of losing that first love you know I am one of those people as well then have a prayer for those looking for that first love and those want that love to know what it is thank you for who you are or thank you for sending your son thank you for the cross thank you for your amazing son or thank you for your love thank you for your forgiveness but I know I failed you it you're still so forgiving we're still so amazing having forgotten continue to give us the strength to pursue you to love you to find your passion your love your encouragement or to feel your embrace to feel you on our side not for you to be somebody who was but somebody big kiss somebody who was next to her somebody who falls or someone who speaks to us continue to comfort us continue to give us
