FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK

Kenneth Flood

"Where are the disciples?"

There have been many storms the Lord has brought forward but none will compare with the one that is about to come. In Abraham's day the storm that came destroyed Sodom and Gomorra. It was a storm of hail and brimstone. And it could have been stopped if they could have found 10 good men, 10 righteous men. A lot of people don't know it but there weren't just 2 cities destroyed there were 5 cities destroyed all around the Dead Sea. And God so destroyed them that they haven't found them yet. But the Storm is coming. In Noah's time, Noah preached for 100 years the storm is coming, repent. But they laughed at him and you and I probably would have laughed at him also. If in the back yard someone began to built a boat the size of 3 football fields and the ocean was hundreds of miles away. He did it because God told him too. God told him the storm is coming. The storm that came was in the form of rain. He said repent for the storm is coming. The difference between that storm and the storm of Sodom and Gomorra and the one that is coming now, is the storm that hit the earth hit the people outside the boat, outside of God's repentance. The storm that is coming now is going to hit God's people because they will not obey and they will not repent.


The storm came in both those situations. Amazing, in Noah's day there was almost as many people inhabiting the earth as there is now. But only 8 people were saved. And only 1 of those 8 people was found to be righteous, Noah was righteous. Because of the covering of Noah's righteousness, his wife and 3 daughters and 3 sons-in-law were also saved to show you how God works. But they were saved from the storm. Let us move on keeping our mind on the storm. At the cross of Jesus, when you read the scriptures concerning the cross and Jesus at that time, did you ever wonder where were the disciples? Where were they? And I’m asking today were are the disciples? Jesus hand picked 12 disciples to follow Him. He called them into service. He trained them, He monitored them, He mentored them, He led them, He feed them 3 ½ years. They observed all of his miracles but where were they when Jesus needed them? Were where they? Turn to John 13:37, Jesus has just told the disciples that He's going to leave and where He's going to go they could not follow Him then but could come later. "And Peter says, Lord why can't I follow you now?" "I will lay down my life for Your sake." A commitment. "I will lay down my life for Your sake"
