Advent HOPE Sabbath School

Anil Kanda

How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse

My name is Anil Kanda, I'm excited about being here.

I was born and raised in Orange County, I'm visiting my mom right now, and also have the privilege of being able to speak and share the message.

The message for today is called, How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse.

And This is a message, you know, I think it may throw some of us off initially, but I promise, hang tight and you'll be blessed, right?

It's very interesting, the Bible tells us about Paul when he came to preach.

He preached all night, And there was a young man by the name of Eutychus who got so sleepy during the middle part of the sermon, he fell down, right?

And the Bible says something very interesting.

And it says the church was not a little comforted.

In other words, when this young adult heard the preaching of God's word, he went through death, okay?

But he also had a resurrection, and the community around him was affected because of that experience.

Why don't we start with a word of prayer?

Let's invite the Holy Spirit to be here and then we'll jump right into this message this morning.

And Father, we just thank you so much again for Sabbath.

Thank you for the warmth of your presence.

God, thank you this is an opportunity for you to pour out your Holy Spirit, the latter rain upon us.

But God, most of all, we would want to sense the presence of Jesus.

Thank you so much, in Jesus' name we pray, amen.

The name of the sermon again is called How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse.

When Luke asked, you know, when I was talking to Luke throughout the week, I gave him the title, and then he messages me a couple days later, and he says, hey, the special music people are having a hard time trying to figure out what songs go with the zombie sermon.

And I wrote back and I said, I will never forget this text message.

So, you know, I grew up down in Southern California.

I grew up in a very secular area and environment.

And, you know, I grew up with this fascination of horror movies.

And I used to watch a lot of these horror movies and I just was, I feared the dark, at the same time I was thrilled by the darkness.

And I remember I used to watch movies about these like killer dolls.

And then attempting to go to sleep at night when there's my sister's doll in the room was something quite frightening.

But I remember I was also attracted to this genre movie that had to do with zombies, right?

This idea that somehow the undead will rise from the grave and they'll start trying to eat the brains and bodies of all those who are alive.

And in many of these movies, there's always this rag tag team of unlikely heroes who fortify themselves in a house or a warehouse, and they attempt to survive the night until the military shows up, or until the cure begins to take place.

And sometimes these movies would not end with any kind of, you know, a positive conclusion, be sometimes fatalistic.

It's very interesting, Hollywood has made lots and lots of money off zombie movies, right?

In fact, when there was a survey that was done about how people thought about, in which way they thought the world would end, there was actually a small percentage of people that began to believe the world might end through some kind of zombie apocalypse.

Whether or not they were, you know, making light of their savior survey or not.

Nonetheless, given the trajectory of all the weird things that have happened in the last 2 years, you can imagine why some people might say, wait, well that's not that actually shocking.

But imagine this, Okay, and I want you to imagine this hypothetically, okay?

Let's say, for example, the undead do rise up, and they start walking the streets, and everyone's terrified.

There are a few things you need to know for surviving the zombie apocalypse, okay?

Number 1, you got to make sure you have a place to get supplies, okay?

I'm gonna give you a Walmart, or a Costco.

Now, raise your hand and tell me really briefly why you think Costco or Walmart would be the best option to get your supplies.

Maybe you wanna make that your headquarters, maybe you wanna hole up in there, maybe you wanna just board up the windows, but why would you choose a Walmart over Costco or a Costco over a Walmart?

And you know those zombies won't be able to get in that Costco, right?

Because those Costco clerks, they do a good job, right?

Why would you choose a Costco over a Walmart or a Walmart over a Costco to get your supplies?

They do have a lot of generic brands, don't they?

Okay, I can't believe we're even having this discussion on Sabbath morning right now.

As I'm telling you this, I'm like, what is going on here?

You can buy in bulk, right, at a Costco, right?

Can you imagine trying to get things out on a pallet, right?

Why would you choose a Costco or maybe a Walmart?

I think Walmart has more locations everywhere.

I have never thought about that as well, right?

Walmart's there almost in every city, right?

Okay, say you got your location down, right?

You know a place where you're going to get your supplies, Okay?

In fact, my brother told me he recently played a game with a group of young adults, and the question was asked, if you were bit or someone in your friend group was bit, who would be the last person to tell everybody?

They'd eventually become like a Judas and then bite everybody else, right?

So you've got to make sure that the people you have on your team are going to help you survive the zombie apocalypse, right?

You don't want to be that person who gets bit also and doesn't tell anybody about it and then betrays the entire group at the end, right?

Here's the third thing you need to do when it comes to surviving the zombie apocalypse and that is this.

You want to make sure you have a good vehicle.

What kind of vehicle would you need to survive the zombie apocalypse?
