We Serve an Unshakable Kingdom

Passage: Hebrews 12:25-29

I don’t have to spend much time making you aware of what is going on in the world around us. Never has a people on earth been more informed and inundated with news.
We now have 24/7/365 news on TV, radio, internet, social media, print media. Some of us remember growing up with CBS, NBC and ABC evening news and at around midnight the TV went silent. Now those three channels have multiple channels and internet feeds.
Some of us are looking forward to the Olympics when we can binge 24/7 for two weeks on sports events. And we are double blessed up here in our corner of the world where we can watch it all on NBC and CBC.
So with all our access to all the news all the time, here is a question. Are you surprised by all that is happening in our world, and how events are unfolding? Are you surprised that things seem to be getting worse?
Are you surprised by the floods in Europe, fires on the west coast, buildings collapsing in Miami, the racial tension and uprisings in South Africa and the US, the pandemic that has killed a million people, political division, crime and immorality, wars and rumors of wars?
Second, do you know why the world is the way it is and getting worse? Can you explain it or do you do what so many people do and just wring your hands and throw them in the air?
Finally, do you have any hope about the future? Is there a light at the end or just gloom and doom?
