“Living
For The Kingdom” Matthew
25:31-46 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 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 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
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 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 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 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…
