According to the angel of God, once the decree to rebuild Jerusalem went forth, God’s people would know for certain that the Messiah would be in Israel in 483 years. This is a fascinating prophecy that opens scripture and indisputably points to Jesus Christ as the Messiah.  

God told His people the exact year and even the day in which He would present Himself as their king. The Bible warns, “to whom much is given, much is required”, so because they refused Him knowing that the time was at hand, God held Israel accountable.  

Ezekiel was given a parable to share with the people in captivity hoping for deliverance. We see the prophecy of a coming King who would deliver us all from the bondage of sin.

Though things were bad in Judah and God’s people at that time were being led astray by bad leaders, God was going to provide a righteous leader. All of Judah’s kings had failed, some more than others, so God determined to provide His own ruler.

When you say someone "can't see the forest for the trees," you imply that they are overly focused on details to the point of short sightedness. It is the idea that we can become so focused on what is in front of us that we cannot see the larger picture. 

This morning we’re studying problems (what we see) and promises (what God sees). God’s people had a lot of problems back then. (Maybe today also?) But God also gave them great promises, promises to which we too can cling.  

As we reflect on Jesus’ words in Luke 17:26, “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man,” let’s consider what this means for us today. In Noah's and Lot’s time, people were living as if life would continue as usual, unaware or unconcerned with what God was about to do. Jesus warns us not to fall into that same pattern.  

So, the call for us is clear: live ready, with our hearts fully engaged in God’s purposes, staying awake to His voice and alert to His ways. Let’s take this seriously, actively pursuing God in prayer, seeking His guidance in every part of our lives, and serving others with compassion.  

Luke 17:20-37 invites us to live in a constant state of readiness, letting go of worldly attachments and embracing a life focused on God's Kingdom. Jesus teaches that the Kingdom of God is not something far off or merely future; it begins within us now.  

Let’s commit ourselves to deeper spiritual awareness and preparation. Take time this week to: 

In Luke 17:11-19, Jesus teaches us about the significance of gratitude through the healing of ten lepers, proving how thankfulness can transform our hearts and lives.

Jesus has very specific, and sometimes very hard, instructions on how we are to forgive one another and restore relationship with each other. It requires faith that is rooted in Him to be able to follow His Word more every day.

GAL RICH MAN and LAZARUS Luke 16:19-31

"You only live once", is a phrase that encourages people to:

It suggests that life is short and finite, so it's important to live fully, be adventurous, and not let opportunities pass by. Some interpret "You only live once" as a call to act impulsively or indulge in pleasures without considering long-term consequences, while others see it as a reminder to live with purpose, mindfulness, and intention. The phrase invites reflection on how we prioritize our time, decisions, and relationships, knowing that we only have one life to live.

Hebrews 9:27 27 

Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,

There are no excuses that will limit what God desire to do and can do in your life!
