When Jesus returns we want to be waiting as He prescribed.

Travis teaches that whatever the shame, rejection, or loss in this world, it is worth it to be on Jesus’s side when He comes in judgement. We tend to want instant gratification; we are not good at waiting. Travis examines what waiting well looks like, and what we need to change in our thinking in order to do this. Then examine yourself to see if you are waiting for Jesus, as prescribed by Him.

Christ will return, how is He expecting us to wait.

Travis talks about the believer being motivated by looking forward to the return of Christ. He explains how Jesus wants us to be waiting for Jesus’ return. We are to continue being obedient, evangelizing the lost, and denying ones’ self. Scouring the headlines and searching for worldly signs of Christs’ coming is not what Jesus wants. As true Christians, we want to follow Christ as He prescribes, not as false teachers and self-proclaimed prophets would have us doing.

Focus on eternal things for the reward is eternity with Christ.

Two reasons to deny yourself and follow Jesus. The first reason for following Jesus’s command…when we lose our life for Christ’s sake, we get God! A second reason for obedience, let go of this world to save your soul. Travis will warn us not to take Satan’s bargains and hold tightly to worldly things, because you will lose eternity. Denying self in your life to follow Christ is the reward of gaining eternity and God. Ask yourself is your focus on things of this world or are they focused on things in eternity?

The Bible says to focus your life on following Christ.

Jesus explains why you should deny yourself, put your wants and wishes to death and focus your life by following and obeying Christ. There are three important reasons, based on Luke Chapter 9:24-27, for choosing to live in this very counter-cultural way. Listen as Travis expounds on the three reasons: why you should focus your life on following Christ.

What does Jesus mean: deny yourself, take up your cross daily.

Travis expounds on the meaning of the scripture in Luke 9:23, “If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me.” Do you regard this life as forfeit?  Is your daily focus on eternity and what God desires for you or are you living for the types of wants and desires that humanity lives for? As you listen, ask yourself: do I truly take up my cross daily and follow Christ?

Jesus gives three demands for each believer: deny self, take up your cross daily and follow me.

Jesus makes three demands of each of His followers, to deny self, to take up your cross, and to follow Him. Travis teaches us how to follow him. These are the demands, and we are to be obedient to these three commands. When we are obedient, they become the very means of our deliverance from our three greatest enemies: our flesh, the world, and the devil. They become the means of our sanctification, of our growing in holiness.

Jesus gives a perfect pattern for evangelism.

Jesus gives a pattern for evangelism. It may be a shock to some listeners how important, really imperative, it is for us to follow Jesus’s pattern of evangelism in Luke 23:9.  When evangelizing it is imperative to tell our friends, neighbors, family, coworkers, the whole truth about what it means to follow Christ.

Following Christ means doing what he did.

What does it really mean to follow Christ? Jesus tells us many times that there will be suffering, shame, persecution, and possibly death. He says, if they hate you, they hated me first. Being a true Christian means that you are willing and wanting to follow Jesus. Jesus says following Him means doing what He did, take up your cross and follow Him. Travis will explain what it means to take up your cross and follow Him. When we evangelize do we really give the whole truth?

God’s promises will be fulfilled upon Jesus’ return.

Jesus ministry on earth was a time of conflict ending in his death at the hands of sinners. His death didn’t end his messianic mission though. He has more to do in the fulfillment of all God’s promises to Israel. Jesus is returning to fulfill all of those promises. Travis expounds on how Jesus’ resurrection and future return are such wonderful things for the true follower of Christ.
