READY or NOT

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - John 14:1-6 (Matthew 16:18; 24:33-34; Luke 10:2; 1 Peter 4:8-11; Ecclesiastes 9:10; Revelation 3:15-16)
 
One of our favorite games to play as a kid was hide and seek. We would only have a few seconds to run and hide before the seeker would yell out, "Ready or not, here I come."The Bible tells us that one day, the Lord will call us home to heaven. It tells us that we will, "be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."God has warned us to be ready. Are you ready? Is your family ready?READY or NOT, Jesus is coming soon!

Pastor Chris Andrews (Discipleship + Missions Pastor) - Matthew 9:35-38 (Matthew 9:35-38; Philippians 2:3-5; John 4:31-35 & 9:4; Luke 9:57-62; Mark 8:34-37)
 
Every follower of Christ is called to full surrender and following Christ includes re-orienting your life around His mission.
You ever see the signs with all the pictures and descriptions of people. Young people and old people, all different kinds. And directly beside the picture was a phrase to encourage you to do your best to keep a watchful eye out and to search for these people.
A phrase like..."Every second counts." with a phone number to call 1-800-THE-LOST. If someone doesn't find the lost people soon, then chances are they will never be found. They will be lost forever.
There is a very similar passage in the Bible. It describes a major job to be done. That the job is urgent. And that if we don't act quickly the people in peril will be lost forever.
Would you give yourself totally to the mission of reaching the world with the gospel? Will you surrender and say, "God I'll Go Anywhere!"
