Sermon Illustrations

God will make things right, so stay with it to the end ...

1. When it looks like Dorothy won’t get out of the witch’s castle, let alone home to Kansas, stay with it to the end.

2. When it looks like Charlton Heston won’t get those people out of Egypt, and certainly not across the Red Sea, stay with it to the end.

3. When it looks like the shark is going to eat Roy Scheider and the Death Star is going to obliterate the 4th moon of Yavin and Agent Kujan is never going to figure out who Keyser Soze is, stay with it to the end.

4. When it looks like the Titanic is going to sink … oh, wait … I guess it did sink. But you knew that from the beginning!

5. When it looks like Frodo will never get to Mount Doom, let alone home from Mordor, stay with it to the end (and the end after that, and the end after that.)

The Bible calls us to persevere--we know how our lives and all history will end! So let’s stay with it to the end.
