Sermon/Lesson Idea: FlashForward

The following powerful thought is from Jeanne Mayo's Youth Leader's Coach newsletter (3/29/10) . . .

 The hit series "FlashForward" poses the questions, "If you knew what your future held, what would you do? Even if you could only get a glimpse of it, would you look forward to what was coming...or would you try to stop it?"


The old cliché, "I don't know what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future" is only partially accurate. Yes, without a doubt, the Lord holds the future, but the choices found in our daily routines play a significant role in determining what our future will look like as well. Simple choices determine whether our future is bright or whether it will find us waking up one day lying in a bed we never thought we would make for ourselves.
