​

Sermon Date: May 19, 2019

Summary

Pastor Boyd preached a message out of Matthew 24:36-51 titled Are You Ready for Jesus?

 

Background

• There is a special blessing attached to reading the book of Revelation that is not attached to any other book in the Bible. 

  
Main Points

• Have an attitude of alertness

  • No one knows when Jesus will return

  • Not even the angels know the time even though they are around the throne of God

  • Only the Father knows the time (Luke 21:36)

  • People during Noah's time were not alert and did not take heed,  so they were  caught off guard by the flood. 

  • The ark symbolizes safety and salvation; however, the outside represents judgment.​

• Have an attitude of readiness

  • Jesus will return when we least expect it​

• Being faithful to the end

  • Believers must be faithful to the end. We are saved for a purpose and a reason: To bring glory and honor to God

  • How are we glorifying God? We should be:

    • Using our gifts and talents to edify the church

    • Witnessing to the unsaved

    • Being good stewards with the resources God has given us

    • Keep your eyes focused on God and what He has done for you.
