Artificial Intelligence — or AI — can write stories, diagnose diseases, drive cars, and translate languages. Some even wonder: Will AI replace us? Do humans still matter? But ...read more

     | 76 views

    This sermon explains the reason for the seeming delay of God's coming and why we must haste to proclaim the good news.

    Introduction We live in a world that is obsessed with speed. We want fast food, instant messaging, and same-day delivery. When things are delayed, we interpret it as a failure—someone is lazy, forgetful, or "slack." In the context of 2 Peter 3, scoffers were looking at the world and ...read more
