ALREADY & NOT YET
The Day of the Lord
Pastor Trevor, November 26, 2023
Key Verses: Matt. 24:36-44; 2 Pet. 3:10-13; Titus 2:11-14; Rev. 6:12-17
I. Are You READY to Meet Jesus? As in the Days of Noah…?
- expect days of increased wickedness, rejection for God’s salvation through Christ Jesus, scoffers of righteousness, global violence & hatred
- many will not be ready, shocked, and caught off-guard
II. What is the DAY OF THE LORD?
- prophets declared both a local divine visitation of God’s judgment/blessings as well us a universal divine visitation at the end of age when Christ returns
- RECKONING, RESTORATION, REJOICING
- PRAYER to receive God’s LOVE-SACRIFICE IN CHRIST
Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner before you, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived away from you. I believe that You sent Your Son Jesus Christ to shed His precious blood on the cross to take away and provide forgiveness for my sins. You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that You raised Him from the dead, we shall be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my life. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my Savior knowing by Your Word, I am now forgiven and saved. Thank you God, my Heavenly Father, for your grace and the gift of Your Son Jesus Christ. Please now work in my life, by the Holy Spirit, that I may bring glory and honor to you and your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
