What Do We Do Now?

Hebrews 11:13-16

This morning we are celebrating the anniversary of Grace Baptist Temple. The church began in August of 1960 and was organized in January of 1961 with seven charter members. We are now in our 35th year of ministry! It is good for us to pause to reflect on the goodness and blessings of God in the past, and it is good for us to look forward to what we will be able to do for the cause of Christ in the future. This morning, I would like to tell you a story I recently heard about a mountain traveler who thought he had lost his way on his journey. He was thrilled when he found a cabin located in the remote mountain area. He approached the cabin and asked the old gentleman within for some advice. He told him where he had come from and where he was going. The old man thought for a moment and replied, "It’s too far to go back...the side roads are dangerous...you can’t stop here...so there is nothing to do but go on." I think that we can apply the old man’s advice to ourselves when we consider where we are and what we should do now.

I. It’s Too Far To Go Back.

II. The Side Roads Are Dangerous.

III. We Can’t Stop Here.

IV. There Is Nothing To Do But Go On.

It’s too far to go back, the side roads are dangerous, we can’t stop here, so there is nothing left to do but go on.

If you are here without Christ today, your journey can begin right now. Come and trust in the shed blood of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.

Christians, will you determine to continue with the Lord? I know the way may get weary, but do not give up. Don’t quit. Determine today that you will keep on pressing toward the mark. For the glory of God!
