Introduction

Good morning, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ. We gather today, not as strangers, but as a family bonded together by the love and grace of our Heavenly Father. As we navigate through this ever-changing world full of challenges, uncertainties, and complexities, we often find ourselves yearning for something unchanging, something constant, something we can always rely on. Today, we'll explore how God's ancient words provide strength for our new world, the power of Scripture in a changing world, and the unchanging nature of God's Word.

God's Ancient Words Provide Strength

The ancient words of God, as recorded in the Bible, are not merely historical records or moral guidelines. They are the living and active words of God, breathed out by Him, and they hold a transformative power that transcends time and space. They are as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago when they were first written. In a world that is constantly changing and evolving, these ancient words provide us with an unchanging source of strength, guidance, and hope.

Manual for life: The Bible is often referred to as the 'manual for life'. It contains timeless principles and truths that guide us in every aspect of our lives. Whether we are facing personal challenges, societal changes, or global crises, the Word of God remains a constant source of wisdom and strength. It provides us with a solid foundation upon which we can build our lives, regardless of the shifting sands of our circumstances.

King David: A man after God's own heart, David often expressed his reliance on God's Word for strength and guidance in the book of Psalm. In Psalm 119:105, he declares, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Regardless of the trials he faced, whether it was persecution from his enemies or the guilt of his own sins, David found strength and comfort in the Word of God. His life serves as a powerful testament to the enduring strength that can be found in God's ancient words.

The New Testament: The apostle Paul also emphasized the importance and relevance of Scripture. The verses we read earlier not only affirm the divine origin of Scripture but also highlight its practical application in our lives. It is through the Word of God that we are equipped and strengthened to face the challenges of our world.

A source of hope: In a world that is often filled with despair and uncertainty, the promises of God provide us with a steadfast hope. They remind us of God's faithfulness and His unwavering love for us. They assure us that no matter what we face, God is with us, and He is for us.

Be agents of change in our world: It equips us with the truth we need to stand against the lies and deceptions of our culture. It inspires us to live lives of love, justice, and righteousness. It challenges us to be salt and light in a world that is often dark and tasteless.
