Going Home

2 Cor. 5:1-10 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

God Speaks Clearly About His People “Going Home”

The Bible speaks of the “The Home of the Soul” …I Thess. 4:13-18 “The Father’s House” …John 14:1-6 “The city which hath foundations,whose Builder and maker is God” Heb. 11:10

It is to That Home, That City, That place, that I wish to point you to today

Bible Illustration David speaking to Solomon his son:

David Speaking to Solomon In the presence of ….All the Princes of Israel ….The Captains—close to David, over the thousands; over hundreds, ….The Stewards of the King … The Officers, …All the Valiant men

He is an old man, and is getting ready to Go home.

Verses 9 and 10 Listen to David as he speaks to Solomon

v. 9 “9And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

1. Know thou the God of thy father … a)Do you know God? b)Hosea 4:6 Observe # 1 1. Know thou the God of thy father … a)Do you know God? b)Hosea 4:6 c)Gen. 1:1

Deut. 6:6-9 6And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

8And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

Why? We’ are going home.. And we want them to be with us!!

Observe #2 Serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind. a. You serve the Lord! b. How? With a perfect heart and a willing mind! 1. We can’t go home to be with God if we have not served Him …

Our service to God must be with our minds that are willing to do His will. Listen to Jesus: John 9:4 Psalms 122:1

What kind of example are you? Matt. 5:16 Matt. 6:33 2 Tim. 2:15 2 Tim. 1:5

We’re going home…and we need to get ready…

God knows You! He will cast thee off for ever. He knows if you love Him and want to Be a servant of His. ..’for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and Understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts.” David told Solomon: “If thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, He will cast thee off for ever.

Many Christians seem to not know God… and many more do not want to serve Him. “It is too hard…” We’re going home…That is where God is Forever…

Get up…let’s go To Bible Study 2 Tim. 2:15 To Worship John 4:23,24 To visit the sick Matt. 25:31-46 To help the afflicted Gal. 6:10 To weep with those that weep Rom. 12:15 To rejoice with those that rejoice

Will God welcome us home, when we have not even served him with a complete heart and willing mind? David said: Solomon: serve God…with a Perfect heart and with a willing mind!

Observe #3 David told Solomon: “v.10 Take heed now; for the Lord hath chosen thee to build a house for the Sanctuary: be strong, and do it. Solomon had a particular work to do for the Lord.

Christians….we have work to do. James 1:22 Be ye doers of the word and not hearers only. Look at Paul: 2 Cor. 4:5 ‘our selves Your servants for Jesus sake” I Cor. 15:58 Be ye stedfast,…

In the language of David to Solomon: Be Strong, and do it.” 2 Tim. 4:7,8

We’ re Going Home How beautiful Heaven must be! Will you See it, or will you never enter Heaven. How many at O’Neal will never see Heaven? No tears in Heaven… Will you be finally home When death comes for you and all the tears You have shed here will be no more…no More crying…….. .

In God’s house are many mansions…. But Will you live in one of them? John 14:1-6

Ready or Not, we’ll leave! God says Ecc. 8:8 ..No one has power over the spirit to retain the spirit, And no one has power in the day of death. There is no release from that war, And wickedness will not deliver those who are given to it.

Eccl. 12:7 7 Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it.

We’re Going Home 1. To see and be with God. John 14:1-3 In my Father’s House… 2. Psalms 42:1-2 As the deer pants for water, so my soul thirsts for God. ! 3. To enjoy the company of the Redeemed with the Redeemer. Rom. 5:8-9

Nothing has changed (Mat 6:24 NKJV) "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon*.

Help us to be Ready!. We’re Going Home!
