God's Promise to the Slow of Heart

April 1, 2018 • Dr. Don Wilton

After Jesus' resurrection, he appeared to a number of his followers, including two on the road to Emmaus. As they walked, they talked about the events surrounding Jesus' crucifixion. Suddenly, Jesus appeared and walked with the, but they didn't recognize him. It's often the same in our lives. Jesus is right there with us in joy and sorrow, in pain, disillusionment, and struggles, yet we are slow to recognize and benefit from his presence. When the Emmaus Road travelers reached their destination, they in invited Jesus to join them for a meal. As they engaged in this everyday event, they suddenly recognized Jesus. He is still with us today, in the fabric of our daily lives. Open your eyes. Recognize his presence and accept His saving power. Don't allow distractions and procrastination to slow you down.

Defying the Odds

This is Graduate Recognition Sunday – a time of celebration to honor over 50 high school students who have reached a milestone in their lives. In the message today, Dr. Wilton uses the life of Noah to challenge the graduates as they move into another season of their lives. Noah lived in a time when the earth was spinning as it is today. He was asked by God to do build a boat in a dry land. Noah trusted God and obeyed his command despite the circumstances. Although all of us may not consider ourselves “graduates” as these students are, we never stop graduating in live, moving on to the next phase and on to a new vision for tomorrow. Dr. Wilton challenged the graduates and audience not to mess with God or try to reason why things happen. We are to keep growing in Christ and stay on track. Listen to the message as Dr. Wilton shares some important times when people have defied the odds by trusting God. These times happen to all Christians and we must continue to seek to live an obedient life according to God’s Word. Amid all our accomplishments in life we are nothing if we do not give ourselves to the Lord and trust God totally.
