Slide 29 Trinity Childrens Time! Slide 30 First Reading 2 Peter 3: 8 13 Text Slide 31 Dear friends, dont forget that for the Lord one day is the same as a thousand years, and a thousand years is the same as one day. The Lord isnt slow about keeping his promises, as some people think he is. In fact, God is patient, because he wants everyone to turn from sin and no one to be lost. The day of the Lords return will surprise us like a thief. Slide 32 The heavens will disappear with a loud noise, and the heat will melt the whole universe. Then the earth and everything on it will be seen for what they are. Everything will be destroyed. So you should serve and honor God by the way you live. You should look forward to the day when God judges everyone, and you should eagerly desire for that day to come. On that day the heavens will be destroyed by fire, and everything else will melt in the heat. But God has promised us a new heaven and a new earth, where justice will rule. We are really looking forward to that! Slide 33 Refrain Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel. Refrain Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
