Living For The Kingdom”

Matthew 25:31-46
January 29, 2012

Preparing for the return of Jesus Christ is serving God.

God’s love is revealed in His promises to the poor.

Serving God is working for the fulfillment of God’s promises.

The greatest proof that I love God is the love that I have for the people that He loves.

Failing to deliver God’s promises has eternal consequences.

Invitation: Living for the kingdom is ministering to the least with open eyes, open ears and loving hearts.

Expect the Unexpected”

Matthew 24:36-51
January 22, 2012

What should I do as I wait for Jesus to return?

I keep watch and always strive to be ready.

I don’t know the day or the hour, but I do know that He is coming so I live each moment as if He will appear in the next moment.

Most people live as if nothing is about to happen like the people in Noah’s day who chose to please themselves instead of loving and obeying God.

I do the things that Jesus described as faithful and wise.

I use what God has given to me to take care of His servants.

Invitation: To be prepared for Jesus return by faithfully doing what God has put under your charge.

“When You See All of These Things”

Matthew 24:29-35
January 15, 2012

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

What is the most important thing Jesus says in this passage? “my words will never pass away.”

Either I can put my complete trust in Jesus or I can’t.

The second important statement is that Jesus is coming back!

The angels will go forth and gather the elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

Now the part we like to fight and argue about: When?

“When you see all of these things”…

Invitation: To place 100% of your trust in Jesus and to watch for all of the signs of His coming.

“Great Distress”

Matthew 24:15-27
January 8, 2012

God tells us what will happen in advance so that we are recognize and follow Him as they occur…

Jesus warns us to watch for the abomination that causes desolation.

How great will the distress be?

It will be so bad that God will shorten the distress so that human beings do not become extinct.

Jesus warns us that false Christs and false prophets will perform great signs and miracles to deceive.

Remember that when it comes to believing the teaching of a religious leader great signs and miracles are worth as much as a politician’s election year promises.

I have to figure out which ones are true and which ones are false…

Jesus warns the elect to look for the right things in the right places.

Invitation: To look for God in your season of distress...

The easiest way to recognize God is that He will be doing what He told us He will do.

“Avoiding Deception and Betrayal”

Matthew 24:3-14
January 1, 2012

False Christ’s, false prophets and other deceivers are not a sign of the end.

“Does this teacher help me to follow and be more like the Jesus I read about in the gospels?”

Wars and rumors of wars are not a sign of the end.

Do not be alarmed…

Sign #1: Famines and earthquakes are the beginning of the end.

Sign #2: Persecution, execution and hatred from all the nations will follow the famines and earthquakes.

Sign #3: People will leave the faith to pursue wickedness and love will grow cold.

Sign #4: The gospel of the kingdom will be preached to the whole world (a testimony to all nations).

Jesus tells us that there is a reward for standing firm to the end.

I will pursue the faith that leads to salvation regardless of what I see, hear or experience…

“To Worship the King”

Matthew 2:1-12
December 25, 2011

How do we respond when God reveals Himself?

Seeking God can take us a long way from where we started.

Even if we choose to seek Him we can still end up in the wrong place.

Seeking God is responding to God even after we think we have arrived.

Seeking God costs us earthly treasure.

Invitation: God is still revealing Himself…
