 Are you prepared for the coming of the Lord?

The Bite: Luke 3:1-38

The Digest:

• God speaks to us in the wilderness 

• God prepares us in the wilderness

• God uses us after the wilderness 

• Baptism is after salvation. It's your first testimony showing others that you have repented and turned to the Lord Matt 3:6 when they confessed their sin he baptized them 

• Baptism is not some holy water. It is the symbolism of you dying to your own life and being raised to a new life with Christ. Have you followed the Lord in believers' baptism?

• Are you prepared for the Lord’s second coming? 

• Clear the road for him? What things do you need to clear out of your life?

• Are you expecting the Messiah?

• Repentance and fruit are necessary in your life with Christ. Check your heart attitude and posture. What does the fruit you have revealed about you?

• Are you part of the chaff or the wheat?

• Calling out sin is an offense to the unbeliever. They jump right to “you judging me” so don't be surprised when that happens. 

• It's never too late to serve God. 

• Is the Lord pleased with your lifestyle?

The Bite: Luke 2:1-20

• The Savior was born She gave birth while they were there and she wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger bc there was no room 

• The Savior is for ALL people The shepherds were keeping watch over their flocks and the angels brought them good news of great joy for ALL people
• The Savior is accessible You will find a baby wrapped in clothes 

• The Savior gives peace to those who are submitted to him Then a great company of angels praised God saying Glory to God and peace on earthy to the people he favors  and returned to heaven. This was not a universal peace 

• The Savior is to be sought out and shared The shepherds then sought out to go see this thing that had happened which the  Lord told them about 

  •  

   

•  

The Digest

• We must realize that the good news is for all people. Even when it is not received with joy like it is here. It is available and accessible.
• Peace is what belongs to those who make people with God through Christ 
• Once you have Jesus, you are to share him. You don't hide him. You show him off by the fruit of your life.
• You want others to experience that peace you have.
• Sometimes we share outloud and some testimony we treasure like Mary and store into the time is right to share. 

 

Have you accepted the gift of salvation from Christ? He was born to save you. Salvation is his name

If you have, are you sharing the "thing which has happened" in your life?

 

The Chew 

Receive Christ and then Share Christ

 We must look at our wilderness experiences as opportunities for growth in Christ

 

The Bite: Luke 1:39-80

 

The Digest 

• We see that what the angel told Zechariah and in his doubt came to pass just as the angel said. 

• We see that John’s life was necessary to be the forerunner of Jesus.  He was setting the stage for the Savior telling people they needed to repent and we should do the same thing. 

• We need to be warning people of the coming of Jesus by repentance of sins and salvation so that when he comes this time they will be with Him. 

• We also see that before God uses John he takes him in the wilderness to grow him and prepare him for ministry. 

Where have you seen your doubt turn into a later promise of God?

How has doubt caused delays in your growth?

Have you ever experienced an wilderness season that set you up for more growth?

The Chew 

God fulfilled his promises even when there was doubt. We must repent of our doubt and trust. Help my unbelief, Lord

“Sometimes when God answers a long-awaited prayer request it easy to be fearful even when you had faith.” -GB

 

The Bite: Luke 1:1-38

 

The Digest: 

What can we learn from this passage?

• God has a plan for each of our lives.
• God hears the prayers of those who are his and in right standing with him. 
• God’s timing is not our timing. Then when it happens it will be on his timetable 
• God uses humble people. Mary was a humble and willing vessel to let go use her to save us. 
• We must be humble and willing vessels to make kingdom movements 
• Jesus was born just like us fully human but fully God 
• We shouldn't doubt God like Zechariah 
• Nothing is impossible for God 

Where do you need to surrender doubt?

What prayers are you still waiting for God to answer?

The Chew: 

To be used by God you must be humble obedient and not afraid

You may have seen the ad during the Super Bowl of the Jesus Get Us 

I wanted to take a look at the context of the Scripture with You. 

 

The ad seems to protray the idea the we are supposed to wash the feet of our neighbor regardless of their race, faith, or lifestyle.

 

While we are called to love our neighbor. We don’t love their sinful lifestyle that is contratry to the True gospel of repentance and salvation. 

 

We are called to use the Scriptures to teach rebuke

 

All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness,

Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching. 2 Tim 4:2

 

When Jesus met people who were stuck in sin. He forgives them. And he told them to go and sin no more not just He gets us in our sin. He meet us in our sin. He forgives the sin that we confess to him We see that sin as he see it. 

 

We don't just wash the feet and walk away.

• We are to serve one another in the way that glorifies God and lines up with Scripture

• He washed us white as snow with his blood. So the cross was necessary for the blood to be able to cleanse us because without the sheeding of blood there can be no forgiveness of sins. 

• Jesus did not wash the feet of the disciples to get them to be nice to each other. They were getting prepared to take the gospel to the world serving God and serving others

2 Corithians 5:1-10, Revelation 21:1-4

 

New Body for New Jerusalem 

 

Tent to a house

• We are going to get upgraded when we die or raptured to an eternal body

• Tent is the state we are in now. Tent get tragedy worn down blow away by circumstance 

• We have a body made by God and now our parents. 

• This body gets weary and worn down and we long for a change

• We will put on heavenly bodies and we will not be spirits without bodies 

• This earthly body groans and sighs 

• We desire new bodies 

• God has prepared us for this and secured with the Holy Spirit 

• The spirit is a down payment 

Almost Home 

• We can be confident that although not home yet we will one day be home with the Lord. 

• Believe not seeing 

• No matter whether we are here in this body or away from this body the goal is to please God

• We will stand before Christ and receive what we deserve based on what we did in this earthly body (not for eternal destination but eternal reward) obedience 

 

Heaven comes down for us 

 

• The old heaven and earth will disappear 

• The sea is one 

• The holy city of new Jerusalem will come down like a brided dress beautiful for her husband 

• He will live with them 

• They will be his people 

• God will be with them

• He will wipe away tears death sorrow crying pain 

• All these things are gone forever 

 

The Word starts with the creation of the world as we know it. The Word ends with the creation of a new heaven and earth that is reserved for those who accept his gift of salvation. Will you experience the New Heaven and Earth?

1 John 3:11-24

 

The Message was love from the beginning 

• We should love another 

• We shouldn’t be like Cain 

• Cain belonged to the evil one and did what was evil and he killed his brother because he was doing what was righteous 

 

Cain didn't love Abel. He wanted what Abel had. A right relationship with God with the wrong methods and motives. God wants all of us. Not some half-unacceptable offering and expecting God’s blessings on half-doings.

 

If you want a relationship with someone who you admire in the faith you have to go and seek God for yourself. 

The World Hates You  

V 13 

• Don’t be surprised if the world hates you 

Love is the proof 

• If we love brothers/sisters who believe it proves we have passed from death to life 

• A person with no love is dead 

• Anyone who ates another bro/sis is a murderer at heart 

• Murderer don't have eternal life within them 

Real Love Gives 

• Jesus gave up his life for us 

• We should give up our lives for our bro/sisters 

• If someone lives well and sees a bro/sis in need but shows no compassion how is God’s love in that person 

Love in Action 

• Don’t just say it 

• Show your truth through your actions 

• Our actions show we belong to the truth 

• These actions give us the confidence to stand before God

• God is greater than our feelings and our guilt. He knows everything 

• If we don't feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence and we will receive what we ask according to his will 

• Because of our obedience and doing what pleases him 

 

The Commandment 

• We must believe in the name of the Son, Jesus Christ 

• Love one another 

• Those who obey his commandments remain in fellowship with him and he with them

• We know he lives in us bc of his Spirt

Paul teaches us about a Living Hope 

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ.

I am writing to 

• God’s chosen people 

• living as foreigners

God the Father knew 

• chose you long ago, 

•  his Spirit has made you holy. 

As a result: 

• you have obeyed him 

•  have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

May God give you more and more grace and peace.

This is the Trinity:

• God who chose us 
• The Spirit who makes us holy 
• Jesus who cleanses us from our sin 

He praises God for the rebirth because of Christ 

• All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

• Great mercy that we have been born again,

• God raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

As a result of the Resurrection

•  we live with great expectation, 

•  we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. 

•  God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see. (This is judgment day)

We can't have this inheritance apart from being born again. 

 

Be glad even in trials

• Be truly glad

• wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while

•  trials will show that your faith is genuine.

• Trials tests us and purify us  It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. When go is purified and is heated up all the impurities float to the top and they skim off the the impurities so that the the What's Left Behind is the goal that is useful God refines Us by our trials and tests so that we can be used by him 

• faith remains strong through many trials,

• it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.

How do you measure a faith that has never been tested? 

The tests shows if the faith is genuine and if it is strong And sees what needs to be purified and removed 

 

You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you 

rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. 

Thomas also known as doubting Thomas wanted to physically stick his hands in the wounds of Jesus or he said that he would not believe but Jesus says that blessed are you who have not seen me and yet believe our faith is a promise that we will see him face to face if we believe in the right now God knows the future and so we hang to the hope that our reward is resting in Trust and our reward is stored for us in heaven 

The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls.

We love him by seeking his glory and allow him to get Glory out of all our circumstances we believe in Jesus by obeying him and we rejoice in Jesus by thanking and praising him because we have a future reward that awaits us in eternity 

This salvation was something even the prophets wanted to know more about when they prophesied about this gracious salvation prepared for you. 

They wondered what time or situation the Spirit of Christ within them was talking about when he told them in advance about Christ’s suffering and his great glory afterward.

No amount of Trials or persecution can take away the eternal life promise to those who believe in him 

How are you holding on during trials?

 

The Chew 

We hold on to our faith until Jesus returns
