Main Text: 2 Peter 3:1-18
The following is a continuation of last week’s message “Are You Prepared For The Return Of The Lord”. The coming again of Jesus Christ and the end of the world as we know it has been a subject of fascination for many Christians. However, fascination is not what God is after when comes to discussing the return of the Lord. Whether you believe in pre, mid, post millennial view, it is not important. What God is after is PREPARTATION. This message is about just that, preparing ourselves for the coming of the Lord. Below are eight points from the message that will help you to prepare yourself for the coming of the Lord. The time in nigh!
(1.) WAKE UP YOUR MIND (by remembering what the Bible says about Christ return) vs. 1-2
(2.) KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE THOSE WHO MOCK THE COMING OF CHRIST vs. 3-5
(3.) DON’T BE IGNORANT OF HOW GOD VIEWS TIME vs. 8
(4.) KNOW THAT GOD WILL KEEP HIS PROMISE OF CHRIST’ RETURN vs. 9-10
(5.) BE CONSCIOUS OF HOW YOU ARE LIVING YOUR LIFE vs. 11
(6.) LOOK FOR AND PRAY FOR THE SPEEDY RETURN OF THE LORD vs. 12
(7.) DON’T BE AFFECTED BY THE WORLD’S LACK OF CONCERN OF THE LORD’S RETURN vs. 17
(8.) NO MATTER WHAT, REMAIN FAITHFUL BY INCREASING YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AND BEING EMPOWERED BY HIM AND HIS WORD vs. 18
