090620 odf Sermon notes - second coming signs

 Second Coming Signs 

Matthew 24:1-10

Today’s Theme: The Bible, and the New Testament, in particular, are filled with signs for the second coming.  The signs are present in our lifetime and we should expect to see a greater and greater shadow of their effects.  


Point to Ponder:

Our responsibility regardless of how bad it is or becomes, is to be faithful.  Our calling is to be ready, watching, and working.

Our commission is to go into the entire world and tell of the TRUTH, the Way and the LIFE!  


Statement of Truth:

One day, when the curtain is drawn and the lights go out, those that played a role in the world drama  will give an account.


SIGN NUMBER 1:  THE SIGN OF DECEPTION   V4


SIGN NUMBER 2:  DISPUTES AMONG NATIONS  V6


SIGN NUMBER 3: THE SIGN OF DEVASTATION  V6


SIGN NUMBER 4: THE SIGN OF DELIVERANCE  V 7-9


Dive Deeper:   {For Personal Study}

The Olivet Discourse is centered on answering three questions asked of Jesus.  Jesus answers over chapter 24 and 25 provide perhaps the most comprehensive prophetic truth in the New Testament.


Warnings of deception are found throughout scripture. Read these passages:

  1 Corinthians 15:33;  Galatians 6:7; Ephesians 5:6; Colossians 2:4;  1 John 1:8

1.  What warnings are given concerning deception?


2. What kinds of deceptions can we expect?


3.  How might a Christian deceive himself? 


4.  What is the best way for a follower of Christ – who is approaching the end of the age – not to be deceived by what he hears and sees?
