Transcript: It’s good to remember that our past and present is all part of God’s plan. It was that way for Joseph – and he recognized it. It can be the same for me and you as well. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. The final chapter of Genesis reveals that Joseph’s brothers feared retaliation from Joseph or judgment from God for selling their younger brother into slavery and they deserved it. But Joseph wisely responded, “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.” The same attitude can be yours today. Sometimes the worst of troubles can overwhelm us in the moment. But when we trust in God, we can rise above those troubles and understand that God seeks not to destroy us, but to develop us. It’s never about us. It’s about God’s work in us and how we can point others to God who meant it for good. 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.

April 29, 2024
Transcript: It’s often said that many people spend more time planning an earthly vacation than they do their eternal home! Since the signs speak so clearly that we’re in the very last days, shouldn’t we be very serious about eternity? Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. In Matthew 25, Jesus told a story about 10 young women preparing for their wedding. Five were prepared – 5 were not. The unprepared missed the wedding and their eternal home in heaven. Jesus used the story to teach us to be watchful since we don’t know the hour of His coming yet we can know the season. If Jesus returned this moment, would you be ready? If not, what should you be doing differently? Don’t wait. The time for change is now. Being watchful, prepared and excitedly anticipating the Return of the Bridegroom for the Church is important. Living like the Bride of Christ now until He comes is essential. Discover more at American Pastors Network dot net.
