Now, let's play a game today, all of our churches.

Those of you online, I'm going to ask you a question that you can vote. Question is, do you think we're living in the last days? All of our churches, how many people would say, I think we're probably are living in the last days. Raise your hands up. Online, you can say, I think we're living in the last days. Others of you would say, hey, they've been saying that forever. My grandma thought that. people think we've probably got some more time here.

How many think we got some more time? days. Others of you would say, hey, they've been saying that forever. My grandma thought that.

beginning of the last day. So from that moment on, we've all been living in the final chapter of God's

redemptive plan. And what's amazing is when you look at God's word, the Bible, nearly every section of the
