Jesus puts His stamp on this revelation and declares: “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this message for the churches. I am both the source of David and the heir to his throne. I am the bright morning star…Yes, I am coming soon.” [Revelation 22:16, 20 NLT] He is coming again. We must embrace the unknown of when, all the while seeing our anticipation not waning but growing stronger. The truth of His imminent return and the eternity that awaits should propel us to live to honour Him with our lives and to serve humanity the same grace and truth our heavenly Father demonstrates! This should serve as a wakeup call to all of us: MIND THE GAP! The space from here to there may not be what you think it is.

Welcome to Bethesda Morning Service 10:00 am Nursery (0 – 3 years) 10:00 am Sunday School Regular Classes 10:45 am
Preschool – Grade 6
Please join us after the morning service
today for a church social in the MP Room.
Everyone is welcome!
Evening Service 6:00 pm Nursery (0 – 3 years) 6:00 pm Please note that the Nursery is unsupervised during the pm service. Children must be accompanied by
a parent.
Time is such a mysterious thing in life. Weeks fly by as routine
brings with it patterns that seem to rotate days into years so
expeditiously. Yet when we have a power outage or, worse
yet, a tragic set of circumstances it is as though minutes
become years in and of themselves!
We are in the middle of a series entitled MIND THE GAP, and
today’s GAP that we are drawing attention to is that space in
time between here and there. Here being our present
situation and all that it entails and there being our eternal
destiny and all that awaits.
The here can become so important to us that we tend to think
there is a long way off or tend not to think about there at all.
Through the Bible today, God wants to remind us or, in some
cases, inform us that ANTICIPATION should be the mark of the
GAP between here and there.
John had a revelation that God inspired him to share with all of
us. We find it at the end of our Bible and its conclusion
encompasses the main themes we need to hear and be
awakened by today. Jesus puts His stamp on this revelation
and declares:
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this message for
the churches. I am both the source of David and the heir to
his throne. I am the bright morning star…Yes, I am coming
soon.” [Revelation 22:16, 20 NLT]
He is coming again. We must embrace the unknown of when,
all the while seeing our anticipation not waning but growing
stronger. The truth of His imminent return and the eternity
that awaits should propel us to live to honour Him with our
lives and to serve humanity the same grace and truth our
heavenly Father demonstrates! This should serve as a wakeup
call to all of us: MIND THE GAP! The space from here to
there may not be what you think it is.
Pray with me: “Awaken me Lord to the reality that you could
return at any moment. May my life’s choices and mission
reflect that truth. I want to live in light of eternity. Let obedience be my response to you and my heart for others be
seen in my prayers and my life.”
Forward,
Pastor Matt
