Teaming Up to Prepare Our Generation
Our personal dissimilarities and diversity actually work in favor of our mission when we pull together as a church to evangelize and disciple our generation in preparation for Christ’s return.
Preparing for the Kingdom
The Hallmark of the Spiritually Prepared
To be prepared for the arrival of Christ’s kingdom we must be sure that we have grappled with the gravity of our sin and are trusting exclusively in Christ for our forgiveness.
Excuses that Interfere with Our Preparation
We often make excuses attempting to rebuff the conviction that comes with God’s truth, but we must learn to concede his good purpose for us and respond with humble obedience.
Learning to Listen to the King's Prophets
We may at times respond with negativity to the accurate preaching of the truth, but God has called all Christians as his messengers to be faithful to God’s message regardless of the response.
Making Sure We Don't Miss the King
Difficulties in life can tempt us to doubt Christ’s power, concern and sovereignty, but we must trust him, remembering the proof of his credentials which reassure us of his coming kingdom.
Awaiting the Defeat of Death
Jesus shows that he has power over death, not as a representative of God, but as the Lord of life – an ultimate role that requires our allegiance and submission as his disciples.
Anticipating the Defeat of Disease
Christ at his first coming displayed his credentials as the King of the coming Kingdom by healing some people of their illnesses, in part to remind us that he will one day vanquish all disease.
