Sermon Summary by Pastor Tynes: Carpe Diem

Scripture: St. John 5: 1-14

Summary:

For many life is a series of missed opportunities, while others seem to always be in the right place at the right time. They are labeled lucky! Is life a game of chance, or is it a matter of choice. Jesus puts to bed this issue by asking this question, "Do you want to be made whole?"

This man waited for 38 years for a chance at being healed, and Jesus in one day offers him a choice. I don't know what you've have been waiting for, but Jesus is offering you a choice today. Do you want to be made whole? If the answer is yes, rise, take up your bed and walk!

Carpe Diem is the latin for take advantage of the opportunity or moment. This word literal means cease the moment, day, or opportunity. You have this moment to get up out of your bondage, depression, and disease in Jesus name. Rise now in Jesus name! I pray that you took the opportunity to rise up out of your situation and circumstance today.

If you are not saved, take this moment to give your life to Jesus who died on the cross and rose from the dead with all power in his hands. Say this prayer, "Lord Jesus I am a sinner. I believe that Jesus is the Savior of the world who died for my sins. Forgive me of my sins and become my Savior and Lord. In Jesus name I pray Amen."
