ARE YOU WATCHING?

If the First Advent was predictable, to the genuine just and devout believer, then it would makes sense that the Second Advent would be just as predictable. Keep in mind, the day and the hour have been kept even from the Son but the genuine just and devout believers should be able to discern the times and season. Are you starting to see them? Are you watching?     Jesus is coming; the signs of the times are everywhere! But how do we discern His coming?--John Bevere: There are spiritual seasons and times and God determines them. It is important to understand times and seasons. Perhaps this is why one third of Scripture  is prophetic. God has much to say, so we can prepare, be ready and act in alignment with either the time or the season.  Jesus rebukes the spiritual leaders. --Lu 12:54 ¶ Then He said to the multitudes, "Whenever you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming'; and so it is. 55 "And when you see the south wind blow, you say, 'There will be hot weather'; and there is. 56 "Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time? Luke12:37 "Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching.  TEXT: DANIEL 9:20-27 SONGS: THE KING IS COMING, RED ROCKS HIS NAME IS JESUS, JEREMY RIDDLE JESUS IS COMING AGAIN, HYMN

WHY SHOULD WE BOTHER?

1) You can know the  times and the seasons. 2) It takes the whole team to win a game. "The return of Jesus was never intended to make believers fearful, passive, or obsessed with timelines. It was meant to produce clarity, urgency, and holy resolve. Jesus is not returning for a distracted, compromised bride. He is returning for a people awake, purified, and joyfully anticipating His appearing. The King is coming soon. Are you ready?  The choice—and the preparation—begin now. We live in unprecedented times. Global shakings. Moral confusion. Widespread deception. Even those with little spiritual awareness can sense that something is accelerating—that history is moving toward a defining moment. Scripture tells us exactly what that moment is: the return of Jesus Christ." John Bevere, The King Is Coming

WHO'S YOUR MOTHER?

We are sons of Abraham but so are the Jew and Arabs. They are trying to earn their salvation; we know we can’t! We know we shouldn’t be striving with guilt to please the one who loves us. If we are in touch with who our mother is, the church which is His bride, we will understand our Groom, our Lord, our Saviour, and King is coming soon. We should have an eager expectation to see Him; quite simply, it’s time to prepare! Two Streams of Humanity-   (RAY PRITCHARD) Picture Abraham as the father of two vast streams of humanity. What starts as a purely personal family problem comes to signify the great division of humanity into two groups—those who trust in God alone for salvation and those who trust in their works to help them earn salvation. From one man the two lines of humanity come forth: The line of works and self-effort looks like this: Abraham- Hagar- Ishmael- Mt. Sinai- The Law- Earthly Jerusalem Bondage -Death The line of faith looks like this: Abraham- Sarah- Isaac- Mt. Zion- The Gospel- Grace- Faith in Christ Freedom, forgiveness, salvation- Heaven TEXT: GALATIANS 5:21-31 SONGS:  THE BLESSING, MOTHER DAUGHTER WORSHIP, KINGDOM CITY HOW GREAT THOU ART, ON THAT DAY, MATT MAHER, COMP.

LAST CALL

Here we are at the end of Paul’s ministry and it ends as it began; he is trying once more to persuade the Jews of Jesus divinity. Once more he fails; it’s his final attempt, it’s their last chance for his last-call. Finally, he regretfully but clearly declares, the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it!" Almost 2000 years have past and the wild branches are haughty! All He wanted was a few men who would think as He did, love as He did, see as He did, teach as He did and serve as He did. All He needed was to revolutionize the hearts of a few, and they would impact the world.”   ― David Platt,  "The opportunity of a life-time must be seized during the life-time of the opportunity." — Leonard Ravenhill  We're pilgrims on the journey of the narrow road,  and those who've gone before us line the way.  cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary,  their lives a stirring testament to god's sustaining grace.  o may all who come behind us find us faithful,  may the fire of our devotion light their way.  may the footprints that we leave, lead them to believe,  and the lives we live inspire them to obey.  o may all who come behind us find us faithful. Steve Green, Find Us Faithful TEXT: ACTS 28:11-31 SONGS: ONE MORE DAY, ELEVATION YET NOT I, BUT CHRIST- CITY ALIGHT BREAK ME FOR THE NATIONS-  CHRIST FOR THE NATIONS

LET HER DRIVE

Storms in life will come; they are unavoidable! Some will last a short while, some will bring us to our knees, and some will leave us breathless on the cold shores of disaster. But rest assured, storms will come! In the end it’s not what happens as much as how you react. Panic destroys, feelings of defeat are defeating; depression steals our energy and leaves us useless. There is but one solution: put you sailor’s whits together, trust God and “let her drive“no matter what shore you may land on!  TEXT: ACTS 27 SONGS: DOXOLOGY, BRANDEN LAKE PRAISE SETH SCHLEUTER CORNERSTONE, HILLSONG COVER TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS, TIS SO SWEET, GATEWAY CHURCH IT IS WELL, BETHEL
