Noah's Preparation: A Lesson for Our Times • Sunday Service To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give New Book: www.PastorToddBook.com Website: www.PastorTodd.org Church website: www.RRCNashville.org Dear brothers and sisters, today we gather to delve deep into the remarkable story of Noah, a man of great faith and obedience. His story is not just an ancient tale but a timeless lesson for us as we face the uncertainties and challenges of our own lives. **I. The Call to Build the Ark:** Our journey into Noah's story begins with a divine call. In Genesis 6:13-14 (NKJV), we read these words: "The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch." Noah was chosen by God to build an ark, a colossal vessel that would save him, his family, and the diverse creatures of the earth. Noah's call was unique, as he was tasked with a monumental mission – to prepare for a world-changing event, the great flood. Yet, in this call, we see a parallel to our own lives. We may not receive such extraordinary assignments, but we are all called to live purposefully, to prepare ourselves for the challenges that lie ahead. **II. Noah's Obedience and Diligence:** Genesis 6:22 (NKJV) tells us, "Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did." Noah's obedience was unwavering. He didn't question God's plan; he trusted and followed God's instructions precisely. Noah's diligence in carrying out God's will is a testament to his faith and commitment. The construction of the ark was no small feat; it took years of tireless labor. Noah's example teaches us the value of perseverance and commitment in our own preparations. When we face challenges, whether they be personal, professional, or spiritual, we should mirror Noah's unwavering resolve. **III. Preparing for the Flood:** Genesis 7:1 (NKJV) states, "Then the Lord said to Noah, 'Come into the ark, you and all your household because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.'" Noah's preparation extended beyond building the ark; he also prepared himself and his family to enter it. He heeded God's call for righteousness. This aspect of Noah's story serves as a reminder that our preparations should not be limited to external measures. We must also prepare our hearts and minds. Righteousness and faith are essential components of our readiness for life's challenges. **IV. The Fulfillment of God's Promise:** Genesis 7:10-12 (NKJV) describes the arrival of the flood: "And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth... the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened." God's promise of judgment and salvation was fulfilled. Noah's obedience and preparation saved him, his family, and the animals on the ark. This part of the story underscores the faithfulness of God. Just as He kept His promise to Noah, we can trust that God remains faithful to His promises in our lives as well. Even in the midst of life's storms, God provides refuge and deliverance for those who trust in Him. **V. Lessons for Our Lives:** Now, let's draw lessons from Noah's story: - The importance of obedience to God's call, even when it seems daunting or unconventional. - The need for diligent preparation in various aspects of our lives, whether it be career, family, or spiritual growth. - The assurance that God keeps His promises and provides salvation for the faithful. **Conclusion:** In conclusion, Noah's faithfulness and preparation serve as a powerful example for us today. Just as he built the ark and prepared for the flood, we should diligently prepare ourselves for the challenges and uncertainties of life. We must trust in God's guidance and promises, knowing that He remains faithful to those who trust in Him. Noah's story is not just an ancient narrative; it's a living testimony to the importance of faith, obedience, and preparedness in our journey of faith. As we navigate the waters of life, let Noah's unwavering faith and obedience inspire us to prepare our hearts, minds, and actions, knowing that God is with us in every challenge we face. Amen.

How To Deal With Doubt • The Todd Coconato Radio Show To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give New Book: www.PastorToddBook.com Website: www.PastorTodd.org Church website: www.RRCNashville.org There are two primary ways Christians can stop doubting God. The first is reading the Bible. In order to stop doubting, trust must be built. But it is hard to trust a stranger, or even an occasional acquaintance. When salvation occurs and the Holy Spirit takes up residence in one’s heart, it is just the beginning of a lifelong journey (and beyond) of getting to know God. The primary way of knowing God is reading the Bible. One thing that the Bible makes abundantly clear is that God is faithful, trustworthy, and good. As we fill our minds with the proofs of God’s power and love through history, we are better able to overcome doubt. “Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ” (Romans 10:17). The Bible is unique because it is God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16), which means the words on the pages may look ordinary but they are inspired by the Holy Spirit. God’s Word even “judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12). Bible reading encourages us (Romans 15:4), satisfies and sustains us (Matthew 4:4), and guides us through life better than any GPS (Psalm 119:105). The Bible simultaneously reveals God to us—what He is like, what He loves, and what He hates. And the more a believer learns about the person of God, the more his faith will increase—and the less he will doubt. The second way Christians can stop doubting God is prayer. Prayer may be the most difficult discipline to develop in the believer’s life, but it is also the most rewarding. Our reading of Scripture should prompt our praying. In Daniel 9:2–3, we read, “I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.” In other words, Daniel knew from Scripture that God was going to end Israel’s captivity, and that knowledge spurred him to pray. Why did Daniel pray for what he already knew would happen? Because Daniel knew that God uses the prayers of His people in the working out of His eternal purposes. If God is so benevolent that He would allow us such an important place in His plan for this world, surely we can trust Him to hear our prayers and answer them. Not only does God hear our prayers, but whatever we ask in accordance with His will shall come to pass (Luke 11:9–13). In the words of Andrew Murray, “Let no delay shake our faith. Of faith it holds good: first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. Each believing prayer brings a step nearer the final victory. Each believing prayer helps to ripen the fruit and bring us nearer to it; it fills up the measure of prayer and faith known to God alone; it conquers the hindrances in the unseen world; it hastens the end.” Our prayers should be made daily, in a quiet place with no distractions. It’s good to keep a prayer journal. There’s no need to write down every detail of your prayers, but do write some of your petitions, and, when God answers, write that down also. It won’t be long before you have a bona fide record of how God supernaturally speaks into the lives of His children through answered prayer. This can be a tremendous help in overcoming doubt. God doesn’t want His people to doubt Him; He wants them to be confident in His love, watchfulness, and protection. Do not hesitate to call to Him; He has promised to answer (Jeremiah 33:3).

God's Real Presence Is Undeniable • Friday Service at the RRC To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give New Book: www.PastorToddBook.com Website: www.PastorTodd.org Church website: www.RRCNashville.org Today we gather not only to celebrate the reality of God's existence but also to bask in the comforting truth that He has been with us every step of the way in our life's journey. Our faith journey is a profound testament to the undeniable truth that God is real and His presence is unwavering. I. Understanding God's Existence: In the very core of our belief, we find the question of God's existence. Why do we believe with such conviction that God is real? Our faith is not based solely on the teachings of our sacred texts, although they provide invaluable guidance. It is also deeply rooted in the tangible experience of God's presence in our lives. We witness the evidence of His divine handiwork as we gaze upon the intricacies and the breathtaking beauty of the natural world. It's as if, as the psalmist writes in Psalm 19:1, "The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork." Furthermore, our internal moral compass, the innate sense of right and wrong, speaks volumes about a divine Lawgiver. We cannot escape the awareness of a higher moral order that transcends human understanding, subtly reminding us of God's presence. Our yearning for meaning, purpose, and eternal love serves as a resounding echo of the existence of a higher, loving being – God. This belief forms the foundation of our faith. Certainly, here are the full scriptures to support the passage about our internal moral compass, the sense of right and wrong, and the yearning for meaning, purpose, and eternal love as evidence of God's existence: 1. **Romans 2:14-15 (NKJV)**: "for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them." 2. **Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NKJV)**: "He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end." II. Experiencing God's Love and Guidance: God's reality extends far beyond mere belief; it manifests as a personal and intimate experience in our lives. His presence is not distant or indifferent; it is palpable and profoundly significant. God has been with us every step of the way, offering His unfailing love and guidance. 1. **Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV)**: "Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." 2. **Psalm 32:8 (NKJV)**: "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye." 3. **Psalm 23:4 (NKJV)**: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." 4. **Isaiah 58:11 (NKJV)**: "The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail." These scriptures affirm God's promise of being with us, guiding us, and providing comfort and strength in our journey. They reinforce the idea that God's presence is not distant but is intimately involved in our lives, offering His love and guidance at every step. Through prayer, meditation, and the diligent study of sacred scriptures, we have learned to discern His will and feel His comforting presence. In moments of triumph, despair, and the countless challenges life presents, God's love remains a steadfast anchor for our souls. As Psalm 34:18 reminds us, "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit." In Proverbs 3:5-6, we are encouraged to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." God's guidance is not arbitrary; it is a promise, a beacon of hope that leads us safely through life's intricate journey. III. The Call for Wholehearted Service: Understanding God's real presence and experiencing His guidance is not meant to be passive; it is a call to action. He has been with us every step of the way, and our response is to serve Him wholeheartedly. It is not merely an obligation but a profound and joyful response to His immense love and grace. 1. **Matthew 22:37 (NKJV)**: "Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'" 2. **Galatians 5:13 (NKJV)**: "For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another." 3. **Romans 12:11 (NKJV)**: "Not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord." Serving God wholeheartedly means loving Him above all else and reflecting His love in our actions towards others. It is a commitment to living a life of integrity, compassion, and generosity. It's about being His hands and feet in a world that often yearns for His touch. As Matthew 22:37 instructs us, "Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'" Our love for God is to be wholehearted, encompassing every aspect of our being. In Galatians 5:13, we are reminded that we have been "called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another." The call to serve is a call to liberty, to freedom from selfishness, and to embrace the boundless love of God. James 1:22 urges us to "be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves," emphasizing the importance of putting our faith into action. Romans 12:11 calls us to be "not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord," showing that wholehearted service is a passionate response to God's love. In conclusion, let us rejoice in the undeniable reality of God's existence and His unwavering presence in our lives. He has been with us every step of the way, from the dawn of creation to this very moment. As we go forth from this place, may our belief in God's real presence and our commitment to serve Him wholeheartedly shape not just our individual lives but also the world around us. May our lives be a living testimony of God's love, His guidance, and His transformative power. With this profound truth, we move forward, knowing that God is real, and He has been with us every step of the way. Certainly, here are a few reasons and examples that provide evidence for the belief in the existence of God: 1. **The Complexity of the Universe:** The intricate design and complexity of the universe, from the precise laws of physics to the fine-tuning of constants, suggest a Creator. For example, the Earth's perfect distance from the sun allows for life to exist, making it conducive for our existence. 2. **Moral Law and Conscience:** The presence of a universal moral law and the human conscience point to a higher source of morality. Our innate sense of right and wrong suggests a divine Lawgiver. For instance, the widespread recognition of actions like murder and theft as morally wrong is consistent across different cultures and religions. 3. **Personal Experiences and Miracles:** Many people report personal experiences, answered prayers, and miraculous events that they attribute to God's intervention. These experiences can be deeply transformative and affirm the reality of God's existence in their lives. 4. **Historical and Religious Texts:** Sacred texts and historical accounts from various religions contain narratives and teachings about God. These texts have been followed and revered by countless believers throughout history, reinforcing the belief in God's existence. 5. **Changed Lives:** The transformation of individuals who turn to faith and experience profound changes in their lives, such as overcoming addiction or finding purpose and meaning, is often seen as evidence of God's presence and influence. 6. **Near-Death Experiences:** Some individuals who have had near-death experiences report encountering a divine presence or experiencing a sense of peace and love beyond what can be explained by science. 7. **Philosophical Arguments:** Philosophical arguments such as the cosmological argument, teleological argument, and moral argument have been put forth to demonstrate the existence of a Creator. These arguments use logic and reason to make a case for God's existence. If you love Me, you will obey my commands!

Faith Will Be Our Currency • Sunday Service To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give New Book: www.PastorToddBook.com Website: www.PastorTodd.org Church website: www.RRCNashville.org "Faith Will Be Our Currency" In Christian eschatology, the "end times" refer to a period preceding the second coming of Christ. It's believed that during this time, believers will face unprecedented trials and challenges, testing their faith like never before. This concept is based on various biblical passages and themes: 1. **Increased Persecution**: The Bible predicts that believers will face increased persecution and hardship. Scriptures like Matthew 24:9 speak of believers being handed over to be persecuted and killed, and Revelation 2:10 mentions imprisonment and trials for the faithful. 2. **Great Deception**: The end times are characterized by widespread deception. False prophets and messiahs will appear, deceiving even the elect if possible (Matthew 24:24). This environment of deception will test the discernment and steadfastness of believers. 3. **Moral Decay and Lawlessness**: A decline in moral standards and a rise in lawlessness are prophesied (2 Timothy 3:1-5). Believers must maintain their integrity and faith amidst a society drifting away from biblical values. 4. **Spiritual Warfare**: Ephesians 6:12 indicates a heightened spiritual battle against the forces of darkness. Believers will need to rely on their spiritual armor and faith in God to withstand these challenges. 5. **The Love of Many Growing Cold**: Due to increased wickedness, the love of many will grow cold (Matthew 24:12). Maintaining a heart of love, compassion, and faith in such an environment will be a significant test. 6. **Tribulation and Trials**: The Book of Revelation describes a period of tribulation, marked by natural disasters, wars, famines, and other catastrophes. These events will challenge believers to trust in God’s sovereignty and goodness. 7. **The Test of Faithfulness**: In Luke 18:8, Jesus asks, “When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” This suggests a testing of genuine faith and perseverance. 8. **The Call for Endurance**: Revelation 14:12 calls for the endurance of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. This implies that maintaining faith and obedience will be challenging yet crucial. Abraham, often referred to as the "Father of Faith," is renowned for his exemplary faith in the Bible. His life offers several profound examples suitable for a sermon on faith: ### 1. Leaving His Homeland (Genesis 12:1-4) - **Call to Leave**: Abraham (then Abram) was called by God to leave his homeland, Haran, for a land that God would show him. - **Faith in Action**: Despite not knowing the destination, Abraham obeyed immediately, demonstrating faith in God's promise and guidance. ### 2. Belief in God’s Promise of a Son (Genesis 15:1-6) - **Promise of Descendants**: God promised Abraham, who was childless and advanced in age, that he would have descendants as numerous as the stars. - **Unwavering Belief**: Abraham believed God's promise, and it was counted to him as righteousness. His faith did not waver despite his and Sarah's old age. ### 3. The Birth of Isaac (Genesis 21:1-7) - **Fulfillment of Promise**: God's promise was fulfilled when Sarah bore Isaac. Abraham was 100 years old at that time. - **Testament to Faith**: The birth of Isaac in their old age was a direct result of their faith in God's promise. ### 4. The Sacrifice of Isaac (Genesis 22:1-18) - **Ultimate Test of Faith**: God tested Abraham by asking him to sacrifice Isaac, his long-awaited son. - **Willingness to Obey**: Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac demonstrated his absolute trust and obedience to God. He believed God could even raise the dead (Hebrews 11:17-19). - **God’s Provision**: At the last moment, God provided a ram for the sacrifice, sparing Isaac. This event is a powerful example of faith and trust in God's provision. ### 5. Seeking a Wife for Isaac (Genesis 24) - **Ensuring the Promise Continues**: Abraham ensured that Isaac did not marry a woman from Canaan but from his own relatives, trusting God's promise concerning his descendants. - **Guided by Faith**: His servant, guided by prayer and faith, found Rebekah, aligning with God's plan. ### Sermon Points: - **Faith in the Unknown**: Abraham's journey is a model of trusting God even when the path is unclear. - **Faith Against Odds**: His belief in God's promise about Isaac, against all odds, highlights that faith often defies human logic. - **Obedience in Faith**: Abraham's readiness to sacrifice Isaac shows that true faith is often tested and proven in obedience. - **Legacy of Faith**: Abraham's life demonstrates that faith has a lasting impact, influencing generations. Abraham's story teaches that faith involves trust in God's promises, obedience to His commands, and the belief that God will fulfill His word, even when circumstances seem impossible. His life is an enduring testimony to the power and significance of faith. Here are ten scriptures from the New King James Version (NKJV) of the Bible that emphasize standing firm in faith and not backing down in the face of enemy attacks or discouragement: 1. **Ephesians 6:13** - "Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." 2. **1 Corinthians 16:13** - "Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong." 3. **James 4:7** - "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." 4. **1 Peter 5:8-9** - "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith..." 5. **Isaiah 54:17** - "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord." 6. **2 Timothy 1:7** - "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 7. **Joshua 1:9** - "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." 8. **Psalm 18:39** - "For You have armed me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me." 9. **Philippians 4:13** - "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." 10. **Psalm 44:5** - "Through You we will push down our enemies; Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us." These scriptures collectively inspire believers to stand firm in their faith, resist fear and discouragement, and trust in the strength and support that God provides in the face of adversity. Without faith, we can’t please God.

“How Do We Live A Lifestyle Of Worship”? • Sunday Service at the RRC To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give New Book: www.PastorToddBook.com Website: www.PastorTodd.org Church website: www.RRCNashville.org Worship is important to God for several key reasons: 1. **Acknowledgement of God's Sovereignty and Greatness**: Worship is an act of recognizing and honoring the sovereignty, greatness, and holiness of God. It's a way for humans to express awe and reverence for who God is. Through worship, believers acknowledge God's ultimate authority and worthiness of all praise and adoration. 2. **Fulfillment of God's Purpose for Humanity**: In various scriptures, it's suggested that one of the purposes for which humans were created is to worship God (Isaiah 43:7, 21). By worshiping, people fulfill part of their fundamental purpose and design. 3. **Building a Relationship with God**: Worship is a key component of a believer's relationship with God. It's a time of intimate communication and connection. Through worship, believers express their love, gratitude, and need for God, which fosters a deeper relationship with Him. 4. **Transformation and Renewal**: Worship has the power to transform the worshiper. In God's presence, people find renewal, strength, and perspective. It's often in moments of worship that individuals are reminded of God’s promises, faithfulness, and their identity in Him. 5. **Spiritual Warfare**: Worship can be a form of spiritual warfare. It shifts the focus from life's challenges to God's power. Biblical examples show worship leading to breakthroughs and victories (2 Chronicles 20:21-22). 6. **Community and Unity in the Body of Christ**: Corporate worship unites believers in a shared experience of God's presence. It builds community and strengthens the collective faith and identity of the Church. 7. **Reflecting God’s Glory Back to Him**: Worship is a way of reflecting God's glory back to Him. Just as creation declares His glory (Psalm 19:1), so does worship from His people. It's an expression of giving back to God from what He has given. 8. **Preparing for Eternity**: Worship is seen as a preparation for eternity. In heaven, worship is a continual activity (Revelation 4:8-11). Engaging in worship on earth is, in a sense, a preparation for and a foretaste of eternal life with God. Here are ten key verses from the New King James Version (NKJV) of the Bible that emphasize the importance of praise and worship and the need for faith: 1. **Psalm 100:4** - "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name." 2. **Hebrews 13:15** - "Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name." 3. **Psalm 95:6** - "Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker." 4. **John 4:24** - "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." 5. **Psalm 150:6** - "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!" 6. **Psalm 22:3** - "But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel." 7. **Psalm 34:1** - "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth." 8. **2 Chronicles 20:22** - "Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated." 9. **Psalm 147:1** - "Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful." 10. **Ephesians 5:19-20** - "Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” King David, known as a man after God's own heart (1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22), is often celebrated as a great worshiper in the Bible. His life and writings, especially in the book of Psalms, reveal his deep devotion and heartfelt worship towards God. ### Early Life and Heart of Worship - **Anointed as King**: David was anointed by the prophet Samuel at a young age (1 Samuel 16:1-13). Even before he became king, he was known for his skill with the harp and his love for God. - **David and Goliath**: In his battle with Goliath, David's faith in God was evident. He saw the battle as the Lord's and worshiped God through his trust and declaration of faith (1 Samuel 17). ### Psalms: Expressions of Worship - **Book of Psalms**: David wrote many of the Psalms, which are filled with expressions of praise, worship, and heartfelt prayers to God. They reveal his deep emotional connection with God, covering a wide range of human experiences and emotions. - **Examples of Worship**: Psalms like 23 (“The Lord is my shepherd”) and 51 (a penitential psalm) show his reliance, trust, and worship of God in various life circumstances. ### Instances of Worship in David’s Life - **Bringing the Ark to Jerusalem**: One of the most vivid examples of David’s worship is found in 2 Samuel 6. David brought the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem with great celebration. He danced before the Lord with all his might, wearing a linen ephod. This act showed his humility and willingness to worship God wholeheartedly, without concern for his kingly dignity. - **Response to Personal Challenges**: David’s response to personal challenges and tragedies also reflected his worshiper's heart. For instance, when his child with Bathsheba was ill, David fasted and worshiped (2 Samuel 12:16-20). - **Plans for the Temple**: Although David was not permitted to build the temple, his preparations and plans for it (1 Chronicles 22) demonstrate his desire to honor and worship God. ### Legacy as a Worshiper - **Influence on Israelite Worship**: David established a new order of worship in Israel, organizing the Levites into groups of musicians and singers for the temple services (1 Chronicles 23:5; 25:1-7). This had a lasting impact on Israelite worship practices. - **A Heart Like God’s**: Throughout his life, despite his flaws and failures, David consistently turned back to God with a repentant and worshipful heart, setting a model for heartfelt worship and reliance on God. David's story illustrates that worship is not just about singing or music; it's a lifestyle of reverence, dependence, and love for God. His life is a testament to the importance of a personal, intimate relationship with God, expressed through worship.

Faith Will Be Our Currency • Sunday Service To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give New Book: www.PastorToddBook.com Website: www.PastorTodd.org Church website: www.RRCNashville.org "Faith Will Be Our Currency" In Christian eschatology, the "end times" refer to a period preceding the second coming of Christ. It's believed that during this time, believers will face unprecedented trials and challenges, testing their faith like never before. This concept is based on various biblical passages and themes: 1. **Increased Persecution**: The Bible predicts that believers will face increased persecution and hardship. Scriptures like Matthew 24:9 speak of believers being handed over to be persecuted and killed, and Revelation 2:10 mentions imprisonment and trials for the faithful. 2. **Great Deception**: The end times are characterized by widespread deception. False prophets and messiahs will appear, deceiving even the elect if possible (Matthew 24:24). This environment of deception will test the discernment and steadfastness of believers. 3. **Moral Decay and Lawlessness**: A decline in moral standards and a rise in lawlessness are prophesied (2 Timothy 3:1-5). Believers must maintain their integrity and faith amidst a society drifting away from biblical values. 4. **Spiritual Warfare**: Ephesians 6:12 indicates a heightened spiritual battle against the forces of darkness. Believers will need to rely on their spiritual armor and faith in God to withstand these challenges. 5. **The Love of Many Growing Cold**: Due to increased wickedness, the love of many will grow cold (Matthew 24:12). Maintaining a heart of love, compassion, and faith in such an environment will be a significant test. 6. **Tribulation and Trials**: The Book of Revelation describes a period of tribulation, marked by natural disasters, wars, famines, and other catastrophes. These events will challenge believers to trust in God’s sovereignty and goodness. 7. **The Test of Faithfulness**: In Luke 18:8, Jesus asks, “When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” This suggests a testing of genuine faith and perseverance. 8. **The Call for Endurance**: Revelation 14:12 calls for the endurance of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. This implies that maintaining faith and obedience will be challenging yet crucial. Abraham, often referred to as the "Father of Faith," is renowned for his exemplary faith in the Bible. His life offers several profound examples suitable for a sermon on faith: ### 1. Leaving His Homeland (Genesis 12:1-4) - **Call to Leave**: Abraham (then Abram) was called by God to leave his homeland, Haran, for a land that God would show him. - **Faith in Action**: Despite not knowing the destination, Abraham obeyed immediately, demonstrating faith in God's promise and guidance. ### 2. Belief in God’s Promise of a Son (Genesis 15:1-6) - **Promise of Descendants**: God promised Abraham, who was childless and advanced in age, that he would have descendants as numerous as the stars. - **Unwavering Belief**: Abraham believed God's promise, and it was counted to him as righteousness. His faith did not waver despite his and Sarah's old age. ### 3. The Birth of Isaac (Genesis 21:1-7) - **Fulfillment of Promise**: God's promise was fulfilled when Sarah bore Isaac. Abraham was 100 years old at that time. - **Testament to Faith**: The birth of Isaac in their old age was a direct result of their faith in God's promise. ### 4. The Sacrifice of Isaac (Genesis 22:1-18) - **Ultimate Test of Faith**: God tested Abraham by asking him to sacrifice Isaac, his long-awaited son. - **Willingness to Obey**: Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac demonstrated his absolute trust and obedience to God. He believed God could even raise the dead (Hebrews 11:17-19). - **God’s Provision**: At the last moment, God provided a ram for the sacrifice, sparing Isaac. This event is a powerful example of faith and trust in God's provision. ### 5. Seeking a Wife for Isaac (Genesis 24) - **Ensuring the Promise Continues**: Abraham ensured that Isaac did not marry a woman from Canaan but from his own relatives, trusting God's promise concerning his descendants. - **Guided by Faith**: His servant, guided by prayer and faith, found Rebekah, aligning with God's plan. ### Sermon Points: - **Faith in the Unknown**: Abraham's journey is a model of trusting God even when the path is unclear. - **Faith Against Odds**: His belief in God's promise about Isaac, against all odds, highlights that faith often defies human logic. - **Obedience in Faith**: Abraham's readiness to sacrifice Isaac shows that true faith is often tested and proven in obedience. - **Legacy of Faith**: Abraham's life demonstrates that faith has a lasting impact, influencing generations. Abraham's story teaches that faith involves trust in God's promises, obedience to His commands, and the belief that God will fulfill His word, even when circumstances seem impossible. His life is an enduring testimony to the power and significance of faith. Here are ten scriptures from the New King James Version (NKJV) of the Bible that emphasize standing firm in faith and not backing down in the face of enemy attacks or discouragement: 1. **Ephesians 6:13** - "Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." 2. **1 Corinthians 16:13** - "Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong." 3. **James 4:7** - "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." 4. **1 Peter 5:8-9** - "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith..." 5. **Isaiah 54:17** - "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord." 6. **2 Timothy 1:7** - "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 7. **Joshua 1:9** - "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." 8. **Psalm 18:39** - "For You have armed me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me." 9. **Philippians 4:13** - "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." 10. **Psalm 44:5** - "Through You we will push down our enemies; Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us." These scriptures collectively inspire believers to stand firm in their faith, resist fear and discouragement, and trust in the strength and support that God provides in the face of adversity. Without faith, we can’t please God.

What Is The Sin That Leads To Death? • The Todd Coconato Radio Show To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give New Book: www.PastorToddBook.com Website: www.PastorTodd.org Church website: www.RRCNashville.org First John 5:16 is one of the most difficult verses in the New Testament to interpret. “If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that.” Of all the interpretations out there, none seem to answer all the questions concerning this verse. The best interpretation may be found by comparing this verse to what happened to Ananias and Sapphira inActs 5:1–10(see also1 Corinthians 11:30). The “sin unto death” is willful, continuous, unrepentant sin. God has called His children to holiness (1 Peter 1:16), and God corrects them when they sin. We are not “punished” for our sin in the sense of losing salvation or being eternally separated from God, yet we are disciplined. “The Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son” (Hebrews 12:6). First John 5:16says there comes a point when God can no longer allow a believer to continue inunrepentantsin. When that point is reached, God may decide to take the life of the stubbornly sinful believer. The “death” is physical death. God at times purifies His church by removing those who deliberately disobey Him. The apostle John makes a distinction between the “sin that leads to death” and the “sin that does not lead to death.” Not all sin in the church is dealt with the same way because not all sin rises to the level of the “sin that leads to death.” InActs 5:1–10and1 Corinthians 11:28–32, God dealt with intentional, calculated sin in the church by taking the physical life of the sinner. This is perhaps also what Paul meant by “the destruction of the flesh” in1 Corinthians 5:5. John says that we should pray for Christians who are sinning, and that God will hear our prayers. However, there may come a time when God decides to cut short a believer’s life due to unrepentant sin. Prayers for such an unheeding person will not be effective. God is good and just, and He will eventually make us “a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless” (Ephesians 5:27). To further that end, God chastens His children. May the Lord preserve us from the hard-heartedness that would cause us to commit the “sin unto death.”

“How Do We Live A Lifestyle Of Worship”? • Friday Service at the RRC To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give New Book: www.PastorToddBook.com Website: www.PastorTodd.org Church website: www.RRCNashville.org Worship is important to God for several key reasons: 1. **Acknowledgement of God's Sovereignty and Greatness**: Worship is an act of recognizing and honoring the sovereignty, greatness, and holiness of God. It's a way for humans to express awe and reverence for who God is. Through worship, believers acknowledge God's ultimate authority and worthiness of all praise and adoration. 2. **Fulfillment of God's Purpose for Humanity**: In various scriptures, it's suggested that one of the purposes for which humans were created is to worship God (Isaiah 43:7, 21). By worshiping, people fulfill part of their fundamental purpose and design. 3. **Building a Relationship with God**: Worship is a key component of a believer's relationship with God. It's a time of intimate communication and connection. Through worship, believers express their love, gratitude, and need for God, which fosters a deeper relationship with Him. 4. **Transformation and Renewal**: Worship has the power to transform the worshiper. In God's presence, people find renewal, strength, and perspective. It's often in moments of worship that individuals are reminded of God’s promises, faithfulness, and their identity in Him. 5. **Spiritual Warfare**: Worship can be a form of spiritual warfare. It shifts the focus from life's challenges to God's power. Biblical examples show worship leading to breakthroughs and victories (2 Chronicles 20:21-22). 6. **Community and Unity in the Body of Christ**: Corporate worship unites believers in a shared experience of God's presence. It builds community and strengthens the collective faith and identity of the Church. 7. **Reflecting God’s Glory Back to Him**: Worship is a way of reflecting God's glory back to Him. Just as creation declares His glory (Psalm 19:1), so does worship from His people. It's an expression of giving back to God from what He has given. 8. **Preparing for Eternity**: Worship is seen as a preparation for eternity. In heaven, worship is a continual activity (Revelation 4:8-11). Engaging in worship on earth is, in a sense, a preparation for and a foretaste of eternal life with God. Here are ten key verses from the New King James Version (NKJV) of the Bible that emphasize the importance of praise and worship and the need for faith: 1. **Psalm 100:4** - "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name." 2. **Hebrews 13:15** - "Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name." 3. **Psalm 95:6** - "Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker." 4. **John 4:24** - "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." 5. **Psalm 150:6** - "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!" 6. **Psalm 22:3** - "But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel." 7. **Psalm 34:1** - "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth." 8. **2 Chronicles 20:22** - "Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated." 9. **Psalm 147:1** - "Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful." 10. **Ephesians 5:19-20** - "Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” King David, known as a man after God's own heart (1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22), is often celebrated as a great worshiper in the Bible.

His life is a testament to the importance of a personal, intimate relationship with God, expressed through worship.

🙏 Coming to the End of Ourselves • Sunday Service 🙏 👉 To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give 👉 New Book: www.PastorToddBook.com 👉 Website: www.PastorTodd.org 👉 Church website: www.RRCNashville.org "Coming to the End of Ourselves: Surrendering to God's Grace" Introduction: Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, today, we gather to explore a profound spiritual journey - the journey of coming to the end of ourselves and surrendering to God's grace. This transformational experience is beautifully portrayed in the Scriptures, as we'll see through the ten verses I will share with you. I. Recognizing Our Need for God: 1. Romans 3:23 (NKJV) - "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." - This verse reminds us that we all fall short and need God's grace to bridge the gap. 2. Romans 7:24-25 (NKJV) - "O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!" - Paul's cry reveals the deep realization of his need for Christ's deliverance. II. Surrendering Our Will to God: 3. Galatians 2:20 (NKJV) - "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." - Surrendering means allowing Christ to live in us. 4. Matthew 16:24 (NKJV) - "Then Jesus said to His disciples, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.'" - Denying self is a crucial step in coming to the end of ourselves. III. Trusting God's Wisdom: 5. Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." - Trusting God's wisdom over our own is essential. 6. 1 Corinthians 1:25 (NKJV) - "Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men." - Recognizing our limitations and embracing God's wisdom is part of coming to the end of ourselves. IV. Finding Strength in Weakness: 7. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (NKJV) - "And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." - We find true strength when we acknowledge our weakness and rely on God's grace. V. Letting Go of Burdens: 8. Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) - "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." - Jesus invites us to come to Him and lay our burdens down. 9. Psalm 55:22 (NKJV) - "Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved." - Surrendering our burdens to God is an act of trust and humility. Conclusion: In conclusion, coming to the end of ourselves is not a sign of weakness but of wisdom. It's a transformative journey where we recognize our need for God, surrender our will to Him, trust in His wisdom, find strength in our weakness, and let go of our burdens. As we embrace these truths, we can experience the fullness of God's grace and His transformative power in our lives. May we all strive to come to the end of ourselves and surrender to God's amazing grace. Amen. Original Air Date: 1-7-23

🙏 "Sons and Daughters of the Most High God: Embracing Our Identity in Christ" • Friday Service at the RRC 🙏 👉 Website: www.PastorTodd.org 👉 To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give 👉 RRC Nashville: www.RRCNashville.org 👉 Book: www.PastorToddBook.com Today, I want to talk to you about a topic that is both profoundly important and incredibly empowering: our identity in Christ as sons and daughters of the Most High God. In the midst of the challenges and uncertainties of the hour we find ourselves in, it becomes even more crucial that we understand who we are in Christ and the incredible privileges and responsibilities that come with this identity. I. Our Identity in Christ: A Royal Heritage: In 1 Peter 2:9 (NKJV), the apostle Peter reminds us that we are "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." Chosen Generation: Christians are referred to as a "chosen generation." This means that believers are chosen by God for a special purpose. God has deliberately selected and called individuals to be part of His family and to serve Him in the world. Royal Priesthood: The term "royal priesthood" signifies that all believers have a priestly role in their relationship with God. In the Old Testament, priests were mediators between God and the people, offering sacrifices and interceding on behalf of others. In the New Testament, believers are seen as a "royal priesthood" because they have direct access to God through Jesus Christ and are called to offer spiritual sacrifices and intercede for others. Holy Nation: Christians are described as a "holy nation." This implies that believers collectively form a community set apart for God's purposes and characterized by holiness. It emphasizes the call to live lives that reflect God's moral and spiritual purity. His Own Special People: Believers are considered "His own special people," signifying that God has a unique and intimate relationship with His followers. They are His treasured possession, and He cares for them deeply. Proclaiming His Praises: The ultimate purpose of this chosen generation, royal priesthood, and holy nation is to "proclaim the praises of Him who called [them] out of darkness into His marvelous light." Christians are called to live in a way that reflects God's glory and to share the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ with others. In essence, 1 Peter 2:9 highlights the identity and purpose of the Christian community. Believers are chosen by God to be a distinct and consecrated people, serving as a royal priesthood with the privilege of direct access to God and the responsibility of sharing His love and salvation with the world. This verse encourages believers to live out their faith in a way that reflects the character and mission of God. Loved Unconditionally: As sons and daughters of God, we are loved unconditionally. Romans 8:38-39 (NKJV) assures us that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. It says, "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." To understand what it means to be "joint heirs" with Christ from a theological perspective, we need to delve into the biblical and theological concepts behind this term. The idea of being joint heirs with Christ is rooted in the teachings of the New Testament, primarily in the writings of the apostle Paul. Adoption as Sons and Daughters: In the context of our relationship with God, the concept of adoption plays a significant role. Before coming to faith in Christ, we were spiritually separated from God due to sin. However, when we believe in Jesus and accept Him as our Savior, we are adopted into God's family. Romans 8:14-15 (NKJV) explains this: "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, 'Abba, Father.'" Heirs of God: As adopted sons and daughters of God, we become heirs of God. This means we have a share in God's inheritance, which includes all the blessings, promises, and spiritual riches that come with being a child of God. Romans 8:17 (NKJV) affirms this: "and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together." Joint Heirs with Christ: The term "joint heirs with Christ" signifies that we share in the inheritance of Jesus Himself. This concept emphasizes our union with Christ. As believers, we are not merely bystanders or distant beneficiaries of Christ's work; we are intimately connected to Him. Through our faith in Christ, we become co-heirs of all that Christ has obtained through His redemptive work, which includes eternal life, forgiveness of sins, reconciliation with God, and a future glorious inheritance. Inheritance in Christ: Our inheritance in Christ is not just material or earthly, but primarily spiritual and eternal. It includes the assurance of salvation, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the hope of resurrection, and the promise of spending eternity with God in His presence. Ephesians 1:11-14 (NKJV) beautifully expresses this truth: "In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory." Joint Heirs with Christ: Romans 8:17 (NKJV) tells us that we are joint heirs with Christ, sharing in His inheritance. It says, "and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together." II. Why We Need to Know Our Identity in Christ: Identity Provides Stability: Hebrews 13:8 (NKJV) reminds us that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Our identity in Christ is rooted in the unchanging nature of our Savior. Identity Empowers Us: Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) declares, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Our identity empowers us to overcome challenges with the strength of Christ. Identity Leads to Transformation: 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) reveals that "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." Our identity in Christ leads to personal transformation. III. Embracing Our Identity in Action: Prayer and Scripture: Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) reassures us, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Engaging in prayer and studying the Bible helps us understand and apply our identity in Christ. Community: Hebrews 10:24-25 (NKJV) emphasizes the importance of Christian community, saying, "And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." Christian community encourages us in our faith journey. Service: Galatians 5:13 (NKJV) reminds us that "For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another." Our identity calls us to serve and love others, reflecting Christ's love. The Deceptive Nature of the World: In the world we live in today, deception is rampant. The apostle Paul warns us in 2 Corinthians 11:3 (NKJV): "But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." Just as the serpent deceived Eve in the garden, the world can craftily lead us away from the simplicity and truth of our identity in Christ. Knowing Who We Are: Understanding our identity in Christ is crucial because it provides us with a solid foundation. When we know who we are as sons and daughters of the Most High God, we are less likely to be swayed by the shifting sands of worldly ideologies, false teachings, and deceitful philosophies. Protecting Against Falsehood: The knowledge of our identity in Christ serves as a protective shield against deception. Ephesians 4:14 (NKJV) instructs us: "that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting." When we firmly grasp our identity, we are less susceptible to being carried away by false teachings and deceitful doctrines. The Armor of God: Ephesians 6:11 (NKJV) encourages us to "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." Our identity in Christ is a vital part of this spiritual armor. Knowing who we are empowers us to stand firm against the schemes and deceptions of the enemy. Testing All Things: 1 Thessalonians 5:21 (NKJV) instructs us to "Test all things; hold fast what is good." Understanding our identity in Christ enables us to discern what is good and true, helping us test all teachings and ideas against the solid foundation of Scripture. Conclusion: As we navigate the challenges and uncertainties of the hour, let us remember that we are not alone. We are sons and daughters of the Most High God, loved unconditionally, and called to live out our identity in Christ. Embracing this identity empowers us to face adversity with faith, grace, and hope. Let us walk confidently in the knowledge that we are children of the King, with an eternal inheritance awaiting us in the presence of our loving Father. May you find strength and purpose in your identity as a son or daughter of the Most High God, and may your life be a testimony to the transformative power of Christ in you. Amen.

🙏 Coming to the End of Ourselves • Sunday Service 🙏 👉 To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give 👉 New Book: www.PastorToddBook.com 👉 Website: www.PastorTodd.org 👉 Church website: www.RRCNashville.org "Coming to the End of Ourselves: Surrendering to God's Grace" Introduction: Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, today, we gather to explore a profound spiritual journey - the journey of coming to the end of ourselves and surrendering to God's grace. This transformational experience is beautifully portrayed in the Scriptures, as we'll see through the ten verses I will share with you. I. Recognizing Our Need for God: 1. Romans 3:23 (NKJV) - "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." - This verse reminds us that we all fall short and need God's grace to bridge the gap. 2. Romans 7:24-25 (NKJV) - "O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!" - Paul's cry reveals the deep realization of his need for Christ's deliverance. II. Surrendering Our Will to God: 3. Galatians 2:20 (NKJV) - "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." - Surrendering means allowing Christ to live in us. 4. Matthew 16:24 (NKJV) - "Then Jesus said to His disciples, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.'" - Denying self is a crucial step in coming to the end of ourselves. III. Trusting God's Wisdom: 5. Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." - Trusting God's wisdom over our own is essential. 6. 1 Corinthians 1:25 (NKJV) - "Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men." - Recognizing our limitations and embracing God's wisdom is part of coming to the end of ourselves. IV. Finding Strength in Weakness: 7. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (NKJV) - "And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." - We find true strength when we acknowledge our weakness and rely on God's grace. V. Letting Go of Burdens: 8. Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) - "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." - Jesus invites us to come to Him and lay our burdens down. 9. Psalm 55:22 (NKJV) - "Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved." - Surrendering our burdens to God is an act of trust and humility. Conclusion: In conclusion, coming to the end of ourselves is not a sign of weakness but of wisdom. It's a transformative journey where we recognize our need for God, surrender our will to Him, trust in His wisdom, find strength in our weakness, and let go of our burdens. As we embrace these truths, we can experience the fullness of God's grace and His transformative power in our lives. May we all strive to come to the end of ourselves and surrender to God's amazing grace. Amen.

Recently, interest has been rising in the theory that this deception will include alien beings supposedly from another planet. Although the Bible gives us no word about whether or notaliens exist—there is no inclusion of them in the creation account in Genesis, and no mention of them elsewhere—the Bible does tell us about visitors from another world—the spiritual world. Since the beginning, instances of demons (fallen angels) visiting the earth have been witnessed and recorded. We know from Eve’s encounter with Satan that demons are interested in monitoring (and altering) the progress of humanity. They want to be involved, with the goal of drawing humanity away from the worship of God and turning mankind’s attention instead to them. Another notable instance of their interaction with us is found inGenesis 6:4with the arrival of the “sons of God.” The Genesis account states that these powerful beings had sexual intercourse with women and produced a super race of beings known as the Nephilim. This sounds like the stuff of science fiction, yet it is right there in the Bible. There are striking similarities between this account and the accounts of other ancient cultures. The writings of the ancient Sumerians, for example (who were the first to produce a written language) mention the presence of the “Anunnaki” who were deities that came from heaven to dwell on earth with men. It is also interesting to note that the Sumerians’ gods often came to them in the form of snakes. These accounts, seen alongside the amazing things created by ancient man, make it possible to theorize that demons, in the form of beings from another world, came to earth, bringing spectacular wisdom and knowledge to men, and “intermarrying” with their daughters in an attempt to draw men away from God. We already see from Eve’s experience with the serpent that demons will use the temptation of superior wisdom to ensnare man and that man is very susceptible to it. Could the end times include a similar alien deception? The Bible doesn’t directly address the issue, but it is certainly plausible, for a variety of reasons. First, the Bible tells us that the world will unite under the power of the Antichrist. In order to achieve an agreement between all the world’s religions, it would make sense for the “uniter” to come from an entirely new source—an extraterrestrial source. It is hard to imagine one religion becoming head of all the others, unless new, unearthly knowledge were the source of the appeal and power of the new “religion.” This would be in keeping with past deceptions and would be a very effective way to deceive a large number of people. Second, this deception could provide an answer to the problem of earth’s origins. The scientific theory that the evolution of life on earth was spontaneously generated still has no answer for life’s beginnings. Many claim that there is evidence for a “big bang,” but there is no explanation for what caused the supposed big bang to occur. If alien beings arrived and gave us an extraterrestrial explanation for life on earth, the origins of the world religions, and even the origins of our planet, it would be very persuasive. That said, we should not fear. The Lord has said that He will not leave us or forsake us, and that He will protect us (1 Kings 8:57;Matthew 10:31;Isaiah 41:10). Demons / angels are not omnipotent, nor are they omnipresent. Jesus said that in the end times His appearing would be like lightning—easily visible to all. He said to be wary of any being that says “I am the Christ” or any group that says “He’s over there” or “He’s in here” (Matthew 24:23-24). He said that vultures gather around a dead body, meaning that if you see a group of people gathering around someone claiming to be Christ, that person is death and a false prophet. We should be wary of any person or being that produces signs and wonders without biblical fidelity or the presence of obedience to the Lord Jesus, anyone who provides a way to unite the world religions or governments (Revelation 13:5-8), any being that promotes unnatural sexual relationships (Genesis 6:4;Jude 1:6-7), and of course, any person who denies that Jesus is God (2 John 1:7). Furthermore, anyone who presents a “substitute” Jesus, who represents Him as “a god but not the God” or who claims He was merely a good teacher, simply a human, or even a super-human or an alien creature, is a deceiver. Lastly, if demons manifesting as aliens are part of the end times, we should remember that they, too, are created beings subject to a sovereign God and ultimately answerable to Him. Whether in alien form or not, the descriptions of demons in Revelation are frightening (Revelation 9:1-12), but we should not fear those who can only kill the body. Instead, we should only fear the One who can kill the body and the soul in hell (Matthew 10:28). No matter what happens to us on the earth, we should trust that the Lord is the Savior, Redeemer, and Protector of the souls of those who put their trust in Him (Psalm 9:10;22:5).
