Jesus gives signs leading up to His return at the end of the age. For the unbeliever these signs will be a great terror as the revelation of Jesus Christ as Judge of all the earth will be clearly made known to them. But for the believer, these signs will be a great blessing as the fullness of our salvation comes to fruition and our present hope is realized - being in the glorious presence of our Savior for ever and ever.

#118 - When Jesus Returns

In giving clear warning signs about the coming destruction of the Temple, Jesus reveals that with judgment also comes great mercy- both in 70 A.D. and on the Last Great Day.

#117 - Judgment, But Also Mercy

As Jesus warns His followers of every age of the tribulations and persecutions they will endure, He gives them encouragements so that they might persevere to the end.

#116 - Encouragement to Endure

Jesus begins the Olivet Discourse by cautioning the disciples to be wary of seeking after signs lest they be led astray. False Christs, false prophets and teachers, wars, famines, and pestilences will come, but the end is not yet. So be alert, stand firm, and remain focused on the mission Christ has called the Church to accomplish.

#115 - The Beginning of Sorrows

Did Jesus come to bring salvation or judgment- Did He come to bring peace or conflict- The answer to both of these questions is -Both-. If we fail to understand this, we fail to grasp the glory of the Gospel Jesus accomplished.

Conflict

Jesus warns His disciples not to be unprepared when He returns again in glory. They must vigilantly keep watch and be faithfully doing what He's called them to do. The same challenge applies to us today.

Being Unprepared

The testimony of Scripture, church history, and Jesus Christ himself show us that simple praise is what the Lord requires of us using only the instruments of a heart renewed by the Holy Spirit and lips filled with gratitude to God for all He's done for us through Jesus Christ.

#9 Praise, The Fruit of Our Lips

Worrying and being anxious are challenges to Christian living that can destroy us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Instead of being anxious we need to trust the Lord and cling to the promises Christ has secured for us so that we might do all we do to the glory of God alone.

Anxiety

A discontent heart, fueled by a desire for more leads to greed. Greed is a snare and stumbling block to faithful Christian living. Instead we ought to be thankful for what the Lord has provided us and guard our hearts against greed.

Greed

This is the first in a series on Challenges to Christian Living from Luke 12. Fear can be a challenge for us as we seek to live our lives as followers of Jesus. We can be tempted to fear truth, fear Man, and fear expressing our faith in an increasingly hostile world. Jesus warns His disciples of these fears and urges them to fear God alone.

Fear

The Lord calls His people to sing praises to Him in worship. But what happens when you can't sing- Not for lack of skill, but due to being overwhelmed with grief or facing the suffering and trials of persecution. Psalm 137 challenges us to press on and sing anyway. Sing about God's justice and His abounding mercy.

Psalm 137 - When You Can't Sing

God's goodness and especially His mercy pervade every area of the lives of His people. As we acknowledge this truth, experience it, and enjoy it everyday- we then ought to give thanks to God.

Psalm 136 - Give Thanks for God's Mercy

Because God is our Creator and Redeemer, we have a duty to praise Him. But we also praise Him because He is good, because He is great, and because He alone is worthy to receive our praise.

Psalm 135 - Why We Praise the Lord
