The Count Down

The Count Down

Luke 5:1-11

Have you ever watched a rocket launch? As the clock ticks down to T-zero, the tension is palpable. In that singular, defining moment, there are only two possible outcomes: a magnificent ascent into the heavens or a fiery destruction. In this sobering and reflective message, Mike McMillan draws a powerful parallel between the meticulous countdown of a space launch and the unseen countdown of our own lives.
Through the lens of Psalm 90—the oldest Psalm, written by Moses—Mike confronts the uncomfortable reality of our mortality against the backdrop of God’s eternal nature. While God spans from everlasting to everlasting, our lives are fleeting, capable of ending as unexpectedly as a sudden wave on a quiet beach. Psalm 90 is a vital reminder to step back from the distractions of the world, recognize the barrier our hidden sins create, and seek the mercy that is freely offered before our time runs out.
