A Light at the End of the Tunnel

relating to what our topic has been for the past month and uh I'll be reading from Psalm 25:17 relieve the Troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish you see over here David it said God loved David God's heart was with David and David's heart was with God you know and David being so loved by God himself had to go through so many pains in life and of course um suffering is another word for trials and David had to go through various trials but that encouraged his faith that encouraged his walk with God that strengthened him and that's a character that God wants in all of us to be those bold uh Christians after God to not be afraid of anything and may God give us all that um I don't want to say suffering because like suffering it's it's hard and uh trials are hard but may he strengthen our faith in him and may we be more like Jesus at the end of our journey uh with these words let's stand up and pray Lord God we ask for your blessing upon this service we call the Holy Spirit to come down we call God for the Holy Spirit to to touch each Heart Lord God we ask for the Holy Spirit to work in US Lord in the message and the worship and the singing that's going to be done

Idol so um God bless you in that Ministry brother but uh while we're back my dear friends and um we've been going through this topic already for quite some time but you know after all the scary and the bad news and all the you know um constantly hearing about pain and suffering well there is some good news finally some good news you know um I hope that that all of us hopefully are holding on to a promise that God has given and a love that keeps on loving all those who accepted his son Jesus Christ will no longer know pain the bible promises that will no longer know what it is to suffer will no longer cry a day that is coming is the day where we will finally get the rest we've all been waiting for and today's message I called a light at the end of the tunnel when we read you know a book or or say like watch a movie don't we always like hope for a like a good ending you know uh how we spoke about uh previously you know like in a movie there's usually the these bad guys and and they're and they're just like destroying everything in their their place and you're just hoping that somebody's going to come and like and take care of them you know we want that good ending to every movie or book I have personally not seen a movie where the bad guy wins and the movie just ends on that I don't read much books but the one I read is the most important one uh so um but you know in a movie or a book we all want a good ending and even the most I would say some of the most wicked movie directors want a good ending so they write move movies where good is defeating evil at the end even they want a good ending well this book right here who's the author is God this book is the true story of humanity of love and of sacrifice with all the twists and all the turns and all the ups and all the Downs God comes out Victorious praise our Lord for that the evil is defeated all the dark Deeds of Satan are revealed to light God Is the Victor devil is the loser all who had faith and believed in the calling of Christ Are Victorious with their father but those like God says your father is the devil but those who their father is the devil are the losers at the end of this book from the beginning of human life as we know reading in Genesis it was a happy day it was a happy day for God a day of gladness God loved what he created and he and his plan was to be with us to dwell with us but the plot changed and because of man's Disobedience sin came in and sin bore death the The Serpent of old who we know is Satan made this world how they say hell on Earth Humanity had to live through all the ups and downs a lot of uncertainties a lot of unanswered questions a lot of tears not a lot of Cheers a lot of heartaches and a lot of heart breaks I'm not a poet but it's just Rhymes but to those who believed in the Son of God will no longer suffer and that's the promise of our God the happy days are coming there is a light at the end of the dark tunnel where there will be freedom from all forms of evil on this Earth a day where we will dance where we will sing a day where all our burdens of life will be lifted from our shoulders this day is coming and it's coming very soon I would like us to open to Revelation CH 21 veres 3 and 4 I'll be reading Revelation 21 3 and 4 you know usually for the past like three weeks all we heard was sad sad sad but today is happy today is happy at least for us at least for those who accepted Christ today we're going to hear the Happy news and I heard from the throne saying Behold The Dwelling Place of God is with man he will dwell with them and they will be his people and God himself will be with them as their God he will wipe away every every tear from their eyes and Death Shall be no more neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore for the former things have passed away for the former things have passed away what a day that will be the author who is God finally in his book like we read in so many at the end of the last page it says the end big bold with a question mark God is going to put the end the end to all the tears the end to all the fears the end to all the mourning and the end to all the pains and groaning the end to all the chains that have put all that weight on our shoulders the end to all evil will come so be glad my dear friend be glad be emboldened and be patient knowing that the end of your and my suffering is near you see our God has always wanted to be with man from the beginning he wanted to be with man he created Adam and Eve oops to be with them not to be without them but as we know they sinned and with their Disobedience we are separated from God yet we knew that God's love does not quit on us God did not quit on you and me he didn't give up on us he was patiently waiting for each of of us to come to him to know him and to love him and today he is patiently waiting for many more to come to him and to love him so he can dwell with them God's love is above everything and he proves it and we know how by sending his son to hang on the cross not for his sins but for ours we deserved the death penalty but God's love was so great that he died in our place over here it says Behold The Dwelling Place of God is with man he will dwell with them and they will be his people and God himself would be with with them as their God it's like reading this kind it kind of reminds me of like a loving father that just wants to be around his children he just wants to be with us he wants to be with his creation a loving father that maybe some of us didn't have maybe some of us you know grew up in a broken home where the devil was the Lord where we didn't have a loving father or a father at all but know one thing you have a father and a loving one too not a father of flesh but a father who created you his name is God the father and he loves you and me and not only does he love us but he created us in the image of himself he created us in the image of himself to dwell with us you know maybe in your life you didn't see your father maybe your father wasn't there but this father wants you to be in his presence wants you to be with him he wants to be with you he wants to always be in your presence he wants to dwell with you this father will not reject you he will not throw you under the bus nor will he forget you because this father loves you you know often parents they they move for their kids and uh my G my kids they go to a school where the dean of that school he was very dedicated and motivated to to um to make that school successful to um uh make that school prosperous and grow he was he made it very fun and funny my kids always talked about him you know he would come into class he would make them laugh you know and his wife was also a teacher at the school so they were very invested into this school but they had one problem their kids were not near them uh the daughter lived in Florida and she had kids so there grandkids lived in Florida and even though they had such a good job here even though they love this school even though they invested their life into this school but they leave everything just to go and dwell with their children Our God wants to dwell with us and that day he is waiting for he is waiting where we will not be separated from him no more where we will be with him but how do we like how we see the serpent of old the devil the deceiver the Bible says the deceiver the liar the devil who corrupts Humanity where we see that love between parents and children are separated where the mothers are able to abort their little babies where the parents are able to leave their children in foster homes where mothers have no fear of putting their baby in a garbage bag and throwing it into a dumpster God can only endure so much and yet even through seeing all this evil he is patient he is patient hoping that one of them will turn away from their Wicked Ways and turn to to him but this wickedness will come to the end God will put an end to it he put in us to love not to hate yet what do we see the the love train I would say all those that scream love love love you know with their flags and stuff like that yet they have the most evil in their hearts they're the ones that are fighting to abort they're the ones that are standing strong for for gender uh transitioning they are the ones who are ready to step over you and me to give people freedom to choose evil God will not put up with this he's going to put an end God loves his children and the promise he makes is he will never abandon us he will never turn away from us because he created you and me my dear friend if you feel like you're facing away from God if you feel like your life is not reflecting the life that God wants you to live turn away from your wicked ways and turn to him and he will accept you like a loving father and he will dwell with you you know sometimes we we uh we watch either like a documentary or like a commercial or like a movie or something like that and and we see this this old dad already on his rocking chair kind of like rocking on his porch um and then there's this like seeing his his adult like children who are married they have spouses they're sitting around the table and um they're laughing they're eating they're having this good time and then and then this Dad is rocking you know in his chair and then he sees his little uh grandkids running around the yard uh making a mess um or uh playing and he doesn't care he sees this and it just makes him happy because that's his and our God is waiting for that day where he is able to sit on his chair and see his children play you know like we read he he will wipe away every tear from their eyes tears of what and we read and Death Shall be no more neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore tears of pain tears of suffering tears of hardships tears of dying friends family members Sons or daughters brothers or sisters tears of tests and trials in our life tears of when you had to go through something that you didn't do but you're paying the penalty for somebody else tear of unfairness all those who wronged you who inflicted pain to you those are the tears that God is going to wipe away from your eyes he will be there like a loving father just comforting you and wiping away your pains you know there was a time when a person shared you know her very emotional testimony with me you know and um she like her son he was born sick and as he Grew Older the sickness only uh progressed and she said that even though on the outside I held myself well but inside I'm I'm hurt I'm hurt and one time her her dad came over to her house you know and as they gathered as they sat together she read rested her head on his shoulder tears streaming down her face she poured out all her sorrows to him her father who was softly stroking her hair also had tears running down his cheeks and she said that after just pouring everything out she looked at him and instead of her dad she saw Jesus the face of Jesus my dear friend if you think you are alone if you think you're going through your trials alone you are not you are not alone Jesus sees everything Jesus sees all what you're going through and even though you might not see him but he reveals himself through people those that are close and those that are not he reveals himself through those who can come and comfort you today we suffer today we cry and today we die but it is not forever so my dear friends we need to strengthen ourselves and know that God is with us and then it says and Death Shall be no more so what happens to death where does death go death existed where does it go it says in Revelation 20 let's open up to Revelation 20 chapter 10 or uh Revelation 20: 10 and 14 the devil who deceived them was cast into the Lake of Fire and brain Stone there the Beast and the false prophet are and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever then I saw a great white throne and him who sat on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away and there was found no place for them and I saw the dead small and great standing before God and books were opened and another book was opened which was The Book of Life and the dead were judged according to their works by the things which were written in the books the sea gave up the Dead who were in it and death and haes delivered up the Dead who were in them and they were judged each one according to his works then death and haes were cast into the Lake of Fire this is the second death you know it's sad how the the devil was able to deceive so many so many people from knowing who their creator is from atheists to those who uh blame God for all their problems and he was even able to deceive those that go to church thinking they are saved by W by living Wicked lives that's the scary EST deception the scariest deception is the one where you're coming to church thinking that you are saved but the life that you live goes against God's laws and God's love all those will stand before the Judgment seat of God and we see here God will judge the devil he will judge him for all the evil the deception he calls him again the deceiver he will judge him for all the evil all the hell that he brought unto this Earth and with him he will judge all the wicked all will stand before the Judgment seat death will stand before the Judgment seat the false prophet will stand before the Judgment seat all those who constantly committed pain and suffering to God's creation will stand before the Judgment seat but not only that all those whose father was the devil will stand before the Judgment seat and God will write in his book the end with a with an exclamation mark the end the end to all this evil the end to all this dying the end God will put the end to all of it my dear friend if you're thinking is there a way is there a way to skip this judgment is there something I can do not to stand before God's judgment I have good news for you there is in Romans 81 it says there is now no condemnation no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus and in Romans 6:23 it says for the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our lord those who gave their life to Christ are no longer condemned we are no longer condemned if we gave our life to Jesus Christ we are no longer condemned all those who made Jesus their lord and savior are saved from the Judgment of the almighty God we will not stand before God's judgment with Satan and death and all the wicked and the evildoers because Jesus Christ paid our penalty when he hung on that cross that was the whole point that was the the whole point for dying for us so he could pay that penalty when we had to stand at the Judgment before God to be judged for all our sins for all our wickedness Jesus Paid that debt but all those who rejected him that debt for them is not paid that debt for them is not paid and they will bear their punishment they will bear their punishment and so today salvation Rings it's free and it's a gift that leads to eternal life but it only leads through his son Jesus if you choose Jesus as your lord and savior you have chosen eternal life you have chosen eternal life to eternally spend your life with God with the father who's what who's wanting to dwell with you but if you turn your back on him you will bear your punishment and you will be judged for all the sins you committed like the the saying goes you only live once so my dear friends may we make that right choice the the choice to to choose Christ as our Lord and savior and with these words I'd like us to pray amen amen um and I'm going to read from uh Leviticus 27:30 a tithe of everything from the land whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees Belongs to the Lord maybe we don't have farmers in our church who can donate their crops um or fruits but the Lord understands that you know in our day uh those meanings and wealth and value um of what we make from our work is also uh like that and valuable and so if the Lord puts it on your heart to give uh may you do so and may God bless you we're going to sing all together now is so sweet to trust in [Music] Jesus so sweet to trust in Jesus is to take him at his word just to rest upon his promise T to know the sa the Lord Jesus
