Sermon Outline

Making It In The Door
Matthew 25:1-13 (p.702)

The Second Coming of Christ

• Believe and know what is coming

• Time is unknown
• Be patient and trust God

• Anticipation is not enough

• The Feast
• Fellowship with God

• Be Prepared          
• Knowing the exact time doesn’t make us anymore prepared

Take Responsibility

• Take a true assessment
• Does God know me? (Matthew 7:22)

• Make a decision for Christ today

• The Christian life should not be an act
• It’s time to be real

• We need a wake up call

Endure

• Keep the faith
• Live ready lives
• God has His reasons for delaying what we might think should be imminent

• Do the will of the Father (Matthew 7:21)
• Some things will not have to change
• New adventures and discoveries
• Bigger battles might come our way
• Each battle can prepare us for more

• Spiritual growth is our goal forever

 
Keep Watch
  Live with an awareness that Jesus is coming again!

   Take advantage of the time God has given us here on earth, but we must have our bags packed
