Transcript: We can’t deny pain in this life, but we can know that God has a purpose for the adversities we face. Even when we don’t see how God could use our circumstances, we can still believe Him that He has a plan greater and better than we could ever imagine. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. This week, we’ve looked at how God helps us in times of adversity. We’ve discovered that God is with us even when He feels distant, that He is at work in the storms of life, that God intends good for our lives, and that we can look forward to our heavenly home when this life gets us down. Together, these biblical teachings remind us that there is no one like our God. His power is greater than any problem. When we rely on His strength, we will lose some battles, but our victory is guaranteed. Discover more at American Pastors Network dot net.

Signs of the Time Series: Witnessing More
May 2, 2024
Transcript: When is the last time you have shared how Jesus changed your life with someone else? For many of us, it has been far too long, but Scripture challenges us to talk about our new life in Christ even more as we face the last days. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. As the apostle Paul addressed the struggles he faced, he taught in Acts 20:24, “I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.” Paul was changed from darkness to light and was willing to share his faith with others. God may place someone in your path today who needs to hear the story of how you have been changed, and how God can change them. Discover more at American Pastors Network dot net.

May 1, 2024
Transcript: Do the negative headlines and actions around you get you down? If so, you’re not alone. Many feel troubled by the cares of this life, but Scripture offers a different response, teaching us to look up for Christ’s return. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. In Revelation 22, the apostle John concluded his heavenly vision of the last days. He saw both the coming judgments and the ultimate outcome of Christ’s coming, along with the new heavens and the new earth. What was his response? He said, “Come, Lord Jesus!” As believers, we can face the struggles of the last days with an eternal perspective. Why? Because we know our final destination! Don’t live in discouragement today. Look ahead, like John, to our future home in heaven. We may face discouragement, but God is with us, and will be with us for eternity. Discover more at American Pastors Network dot net.

April 30, 2024
Transcript: Many people live like God designed the last days to scare us. But nothing’s further from the truth! Jesus gave us signs of the times to prepare us, not with gloom, but with joy, not with stress but with anticipation. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. As Christians, we can be tempted to avoid talking about the end times, partly because they are the days of God’s wrath against sin and the Devil. But in Matthew 25, Jesus told the parable of the talents to encourage us to use our gifts to serve Him. Why? Jesus said it was to enter “the joy of your master.” The Lord’s given us abilities, resources, and opportunities to serve Him with joy, making the most of every moment until He returns. Don’t be like the servant who hid his money in the ground! Invest what God have given you for eternal impact today. Discover more at American Pastors Network dot net.
