We need Jesus now more than ever!!
John 14:6 (NLT)
Jesus told him, “I am the
way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
It’s not going to get better (Matthew 24: 9-14)
·
Jesus tells us that
these things will happen, we will endure great birth pains
·
From Isaiah to Daniel,
from the history of Gods people we all suffer when people turn from God
·
Go to Revelation 18
We
can’t control what happens or who it happens to; these are the “Great Birth Pains”
of an end of this fallen world.
So
what do we do, how do we survive. God gives us clear direction on what we need
to do. He tells to not worry about the one who can only take our life her on
earth. We are to fix our eye on the prize of eternal life with Him in Heaven. so
what do we need to do until he takes us or the end comes??? Reach the world and
spread the Gospel!!
As a body of believers, we must be Fruitful and reach all
those who will hear!!
John 15: 1-8
Matthew 7:21 (NLT)
True Disciples
“Not
everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Only those who actually do the will
of my Father in heaven will enter.
·
It’s
time to stop hiding our faith
·
It’s
time to stand up and take a stand for our savior
·
It’s
time to be true followers and take up our cross for the lost
o We talk a mean game
on Sunday, but what are you doing to spread the GOOD NEWS of Jesus???
·
In
the words of my mother “Get off of your dead butt, and on your dying feet and
do something
It’s time we start
to walk the walk!!
Luke 13:3 (NLT) Not at all! And you will perish, too, unless you repent of
your sins and turn to God.
·
It’s time to for us
to live different than the rest of the world
·
We must be the
light, because the world is surely getting dark
o The light will go out of this world someday (rev 18:23), but until
then we are the carriers of the light, we need to show it
John 3:19 (ESV) And this is the judgment: the light has come
into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because
their works were evil.
John 8:12 (ESV)I Am the Light of the World
12 Again
Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not
walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
How
do we not tell people, I mean everyone we know about Jesus, we say we love
Jesus, we say we worship Jesus, we say we believe that Jesus came to save the
world so what’s the PROBLEM!!
Matthew 15:8 (ESV) ‘This
people honors me with their lips, but
their heart is far from me”
Is
this you??? Are you the fake religious hypocrite or are you totally committed
to saving the world!!
The
actions of Friday and what is about to come should be a battle cry, it should
be a sobering wake up call for all believers!!
For our families are friends and our kids!!
Don’t
you want to see them in heaven, don’t you want them in eternal joy, if you truly
believe in heaven, if you truly believe in Hell, then why are you waiting, why
are you? or are you just giving lip service!
Hebrews 11:7 (NLT)
It
was by faith that Noah built a large boat to save his family from the flood. He
obeyed God, who warned him about things that had never happened before. By his
faith Noah condemned the rest of the world, and he received the righteousness
that comes by faith.
·
We
must present them with the Good News of Jesus Christ (Thank you Sally)
·
It’s
our responsibility to teach our family our kids the ways of God!
·
We
need to know when we send our kids out in this ugly depraved world Jesus is with
them
Deuteronomy 5:9 (NIV) You shall not bow down to them or
worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the
children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those
who hate me,
Deuteronomy 5:29 (NIV) Oh, that their hearts would be
inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well
with them and their children forever!
Deuteronomy 11:18–21 (NIV) Fix these words of
mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them
on your foreheads. Teach them to your
children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the
road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses
and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be many
in the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the
heavens are above the earth.
Ephesians 6:4 (ESV) Fathers, do not provoke your
children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the
Lord.
Genesis 18:19 (ESV) For I have chosen him, that he may
command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by
doing righteousness and justice, so that the LORD may bring to Abraham what he
has promised him.”
·
I
have been asked did they go to heaven, my answer: their parents should know the
answer to that question did they raise them up to be good citizen, and did they
raise them up in God family?
·
Our
kids in this church are our responsibility
·
We
must not fail them (talk about Kids Church and it’s all our responsibility)
