How Prophecy should revive us

Sunday, 27 July 2008 - Posted by Pastor Mario

Hundreds of fulfilled prophecies are contained in the divinely inspired Word of God. Unlike other religious books these are not vague promises but specific and detailed.

There are over 100 distinct prophecies in the Old Testament concerning the first coming of Jesus Christ- all of which were fulfilled in His birth, life, death and resurrection.

The fulfillment of so many prophecies is overwhelming proof that the Bible is true and that Jesus Christ is the Messiah of God.

It is also ample evidence that the prophecies which remain, concerning the soon return of Jesus Christ and the end times of the world, will also come true.

Prophecy is without doubt one of the most fascinating of Bible subjects and is the major theme at Metropolitan Baptist Church this month.

As Pastor, I invite you to take this opportunity to revive your heart for lost souls around the prophecies contained in God's Word.

Imagine, for instance, how you would live, speak, and witness if you truly believed that Jesus could return at any moment?

Would you let any opportunity to share the hope that lies within you to pass?

Life Stage classes have now resumed and are held each Sunday morning at 9.15am. Join us for practical bible instruction and fellowship as we revive our hearts for God.

I look forward to seeing at Metropolitan Baptist Church during this exciting time.

Missions has always played a major role in the life of Metro with the first Missions Conference in 1975 raising over $7000 for the cause of Christ and missions.
