Because it matters

This is the first part in the 2-part series of sermons I did at Calvary Chapel Albany in July 2008. I have promised before to post the audio and so here it is. I am currently working on a video for these messages because Powerpoint presentation was heavily used to make the points (no pun). I'm thankful for these opportunities since giving these messages led to spreading the creation message even further here in San Diego. Praise the Lord for His creation!

So what is this about? It's about the things we may want to know about God's creation and creationism in the last days. There are scoffers that may negatively influence your faith (and adoration) in the Lord Jesus, who is not only our Saviour, but also the Creator. It is also good for us to remember the Lord's last global judgment (the Flood) as we face His very last global judgment on mankind. The messages will be based on 2Peter 3:1-9.

The temple in Jerusalem was first built by King Solomon. After it was destroyed by the Babylonians, the restoration of the temple was led by Zerubbabel and others. This task of restoration was accomplished by people who were just set free from captivity in an enemy state. What a feat! How did they do it? The book of Ezra gives us an insight into how this monumental task was achieved; by unity. The conquered and weakened people had one common goal and one common hope; restoration of the temple of the LORD.

Now we ask "what about us?" What do we get to do together in the New testament? Apostle Paul shows us the hope and the goal that we Christians must have today. For the rest of the story, please listen to this podcast.

One Lord, One hope, One people, One calling... Temple Restored.

The Scriptures make it clear to us; the Day is approaching... FAST! How can we prepare for our Lord's return? Start doing as many charitable deeds as possible? Going to seminary school? Tithe more? Fortunately, James gives us a bottom-line answer:

You also be patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws near. (James 5:8)

The Scriptures shared in this message will cause you to establish your hearts as you soberly examine the fact that the coming of the Lord Jesus in His glory draws near. This message was originally preached at Lifetime Bible Fellowship in 2006.
