“PREPARED”

ENCOURAGEMENT…

1 Thessalonians 4:13 Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. 14 We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.

ENCOURAGEMENT… 15 According to the Lord’s own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.

ENCOURAGEMENT… 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

ENCOURAGEMENT Part B 1 Thessalonians 5:1 Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labour pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

Jesus is Returning Soon

Wars

Drought, Famine & Pestilences

“Storms – Signs from the Heavens…”

ENCOURAGEMENT Part B Luke 21:10 Then he said to them: "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences (epidemics/diseases) in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven…

ENCOURAGEMENT Part B 25"There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26 Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.

ENCOURAGEMENT Part B 27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

ENCOURAGEMENT Part B 4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 5 You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6 So then let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self- controlled.

ENCOURAGEMENT Part B 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.

ENCOURAGEMENT Part B 9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

FINAL WRAP… 12 Now we ask you, brothers… to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you. 13 Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.

FINAL WRAP… 14 And we urge you, brothers… warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. 15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.

FINAL WRAP… 16 Be joyful always; 17 pray continually; 18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 19 Do not put out the Spirit’s fire;

FINAL WRAP… 20 do not treat prophecies with contempt. 21 Test everything. Hold on to the good. 22 Avoid every kind of evil.

BENEDICTION 23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it. 25 Brothers, pray for us. 26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

BENEDICTION 27 I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers. Back to the Benediction 28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Conclusion 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. 1. RESEARCH THE EVENT AND UNDERSTAND THE DESTINATION! JUST LIKE YOU WOULD IF YOU TRAVELLED! 2. DO YOU NEED A PASSPORT?

Conclusion 3. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO BETWEEN NOW AND THE DEPARTURE? 2 Peter 3:11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming

Conclusion 4. LOOK FORWARD TO THE RETURN OF JESUS AND LIVE IN THE LIGHT OF HIS RETURN! 2 Peter 3:13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.

Prayer…
