THE
KING IS COMING



Acts 17:1-9 Now when they had passed
through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there
was a synagogue of the Jews. 2 Then Paul, as his custom
was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the
Scriptures, 3 explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had
to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying,
“This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.” 4 And some of
them were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few
of the  leading women, joined Paul
and Silas.



5 But the Jews [a]who were not persuaded, [b]becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. 6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too. 7 Jason has [c]harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king—Jesus.” 8 And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things. 9 So when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.







There is a new movie coming up – The Lion King (Who hasn’t watched Lion King before)The idea that the King is coming is something that has somewhat lost its urgency these daysWe have moved from a place where disciples who were with Jesus, heard His words and preached a message like Jesus was coming back anytime, to a time when we think man it’s been too long Paul’s goal is to let people know that the Jesus had died for their sins so that when the king came back, they would be with Him. He is preaching to get them saved- We preach to get you saved so you can be ready for the King!I like the lion King movie not because it has a ton of Swahili songs – which I speak...hakuna matata, Simba, Rafiki e.t.c but because it’s a word picture of how evil has overtaken the land because the King and His son are not here anymore, not knowing that the ‘King is Coming”Matthew 24:36-39 - But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of[a]heaven, but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man beHe will return when we least expect it – Revelation 16:15 Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.” (garment – reference of Adam and Eve when they sinned)Are you ready? The ‘King is coming”Luke 21:7-17, Luke 21: 28 - Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”







Three days or 3 weeks



Paul spend 3 sabbath days reasoning with the people ‘explaining to them that Jesus had to die for their sinsVs:4 - And some of them [accordingly] were induced to believe and associated themselves with Paul and Silas, as did a great number of the devout Greeks and not a few of the leading women.Others were offended – Christ did not come to serve our self-interest – He had a mission and that mission is not our comfort or having our way…it saving our soul. Preparing a way for the Kings return.“The bait of Satan”, Talks about John the Baptist2 Peter 3:8-9 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand ye...
