Are you IN the boat???

We ended up going to church on early Saturday evening.  It was different - but nice to find parking places!  Sundays are a bit difficult - but doable - just not as easy as Saturdays.
I think Long Hollow Baptist has one of THE most VERY BEST drama teams EVER!  They come up with the most fantastic visuals to interrelate to the sermon!
Saturday's sermon was about Noah, the ark, the animals....and ultimately....the FLOOD!

People were eating and drinking and carrying on during the days of Noah.  No one but Noah and his family were found to be righteous! And God graciously spared them...and 2 of every species of birds and animals.
I cannot imagine getting that all accomplished, but God - no doubt - gave Noah the ability.

When the lights all went out and it was pitch black darkness in the sanctuary......all that was heard was a thunderstorm and rain! 
                          ..................................And God shut them in! 
Soon...it was apparent - that there was knocking...and clamour! I never really thought about those outside of the boat Noah built.  I'm sure they were pounding with fierce intensity and weeping and wailing as they realized that Noah was telling the truth all along.  All of their jeers and mockery.....faded into a battle to save themselves from the "flood" - but it was too late.

The sermon was so good....but then it always is.  The pastor at Long Hollow Baptist is one mighty mouthpiece for the Lord our God!
                                       The question is:  ARE YOU IN THE BOAT?
Because if you're not - you need to be!  Jesus Christ IS coming SOON!  And if we are not found IN CHRIST....we will surely be left behind.

The birth pangs have begun......our end of the end of the end days are upon us.....

We must get right with God.....or we WILL be left behind to endure the tumultuous tribulation period.
                            I don't want to be here!  And neither to you!
IF you have not asked Jesus to be Lord of your life - inviting him into to you heart - then I pray you do!  There is not much time!
If you're not sure what I am talking about....I encourage you to listen:
