The Gospel Conference Series


The Gospel According to Noah

Uniontown, PA Bible Conference

October 28-30,  2016

 

This conference was held October 28-30, 2016 in Western Pennsylvania. The Abundant Life Church and Gene Cunningham presented “The Gospel According to Noah. ” Hebrews 11:6-7 says “But without faith [it is] impossible to please [Him], for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and [that] He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.”

The Nature of Time

"If you kill time you injure eternity" -- H.Thoreau. When we "buy up time" or "number our days" we are reserving it for eternity (Psa 90:12); "Wake up sleeper and rise from the dead and Christ will shine on you" (Eph 5:14); the love and light of Christ will shine through us if we redeem the time. Industrial revolution change our perception of time; Agriculture economy was based on day-light. The factory work day based on the clock. Light and time are linked by God in creation (Gen 1:1-5, Gen 1:14). The tyranny of time is the fear of death — time running out (Gen 3:1-10, Heb 2:14-15, Gen 2:15-17). Jesus called time His "hour" (Joh 12:23-27, Joh 17:1). We need to view every decision from the end-point (eternity). Time itself becomes a tyranny when you want to get things done. God gives meaning to time (Gen 3:15). The cross is the central focus of time. Only eternity can satisfy the cravings of the human heart through Christ (Gen 3:21, Gen 4:1-3). The meaning of time has changed, but God's purpose was there in eternity past -- the "fullness of time" (Eph 1:7-11). God never intended time to be a tyrant. Time is either an enemy or friend (against or with you). When time is our ally we walk not rush through life. Jesus was the only pure example of the mastery of time (e.g., Mar 1:35-38). Only redemption and God's word can synchronize our lives with God's time. Is our life an expression of His purpose?
