Seeing Him Who is Invisible by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

Moses refused power, position, possessions, and the princehood of Egypt. The Bible says that he endured as seeing him who is invisible. The word "endured" is from the word kartereo {kar-ter-eh'-o}. This is the only place it is used in the Bible. It means "to be steadfast; to persevere; to keep on going." If there was ever a time for endurance, to be steadfast, to keep on going in the lives of Christians, it is now. There is a great need for endurance among Christians today. The events over the last two years has led to the closure of churches, to a 25 to 30% drop in church attendance, and to the resignation of pastors from the ministry. The September 2020 issue of The Citizen website stated the findings of the well-known Barna Research Survey and that in the next 18 months they predicted 20% of the churches in our nation will close based on past closure patterns and current research. This is one in five churches. Out of the pastors that were surveyed, 58% believed their churches would not survive. Thirty-eight percent of these pastors surveyed considered leaving the ministry. There is a great need for endurance in our churches today among people who claim that Jesus is their Savior and they love Him! There is a great need for endurance in the Christian. How do we endure and keep from throwing in the towel? The answer is the same way Moses endured, by seeing Him who is invisible. What does this mean? This message talks about this and also how to endure as a Christian and see Him who is invisible. This 26-minute sermon was preached on Easter Sunday morning, 2022, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
