ARE YOU MISBEHAVING? #4

-










The sermon that I  heard on, 
“ The Last Days” really made an impression on me. Some pastors and prophets have  predicted Jesus' return date. They looked foolish when their 
date passes and nothing happened. I 
would stay clear of people who did this.
I began to wonder if they forgot what the Bible said.


MARK 13:32  

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.


I now understand that there are some things that I should be doing during 
“The Last Days.” Since the date of 
Jesus' return is unknown, I should
get ready.


I’ll to try to be faithful and obedient 
daily. I’m sure there is be days that
I mess up. That is when I’ll be praying 
for God’s grace, mercy, and forgiveness.

ROMANS 3:23-24

23 For all have sinned and fall short of 
the glory of God,
24 Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.





The following scriptures helps me stay focused while I’m waiting for Jesus’ return:

 
LIFE LESSON:


BE WISE & FAITHFUL IN THE LAST DAYS


1 THESSALONIANS 4:13-15  

 

13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 


1 THESSALONIANS 5:20-24  

 

20 Do not despise prophecies.
21 Test all things; hold fast what is good.
22 Abstain from every form of evil.
23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.



TITUS 2:11-14  

11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,
13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.



2 PETER 3:14-18

14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward 
to these things, be diligent to be found
by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;
15 and consider that the longsuffering 
of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,
16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand,which untaught and unstable people twist to their own
destruction, as they do also the rest of 
the Scriptures.
17 You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand,beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;
18 but grow in the grace and knowledge
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To
Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)
