Good News in a Bad World

January 2nd, 2010 Posted in Pastor's corner, encouragement, sermons

The title of this post is also my topic this Sunday at Harvest.

As we come not only to the beginning of a new year, but also the end of another decade, we see a world that is in chaos. Anyone who is hoping for a man-made solution to our global ills, and thinks that mankind will somehow create a Utopian paradise, needs to wake up and smell the coffee.

This war on terrorism has not stopped, even for a New York minute. We have to face the facts that there are evil people willing to do the worst things imaginable. There are so many difficult challenges we face as a nation and a world in this coming year.

Yes, we live in a world filled with bad news.

Good news for modern man

After I first became a Christian, I was given a modern translation of the Bible called “Good News for Modern Man.” Reading Scripture transformed and continues to transform the way I think and live.

This Sunday, I want to share with you a story from the Bible that shows Israel in dire straits. They were experiencing an economic meltdown, among other things.

We will see the problem, the promise, the people God chose to bring that promise, and the proclamation of good news that changed everything for them. Good news that could change us as well.

It all happens Sunday morning at Harvest. Our services are at 7:45 A.M., 9:45 A.M., and 11:45 A.M. at Harvest Christian Fellowship. For more info on how to get to Harvest, click here.

Also, all of our services are live and webcast at Harvest.org.

And don’t forget to check out my weekly column at WorldNetDaily, along with my long-form weekend devotion.
