DECIDING WHAT TODAY MEANS

TEXT: James 4:13-15

INTRODUCTION

 

TODAY MEANS:

1)    I’M SECURE IN MY CREATOR

 

·      And there was evening, and there was morning-- the first day.

Gen 1:5 (NIV)

 

·      This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Ps 118:24 (TLB)

 

 

2)    I HAVE A CHOICE TO MAKE

 

·      …decide today whom you will serve, the gods your ancestors worshiped in

Mesopotamia or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are now living. As for

my family and me, we will serve the LORD.” Josh 24:14 (TEV)

·      Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matt 6:34 (NIV)

 

3)    I’M CALLED TO ENCOURAGE

 

·      But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness. Heb 3:13 (NIV)

 

 

-Heb. 13:8 (He’s the same)

 

CONCLUSION

 

·       Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Heb 13:8 (NIV)
