WELCOME TO MY WORLD

“December 21, 2012”

  Pastor Duane Cross  |  12.20.09

 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be?  You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.                                               

                                                                            II Peter 3:10-14(NIV)

 ARE WE READY TO MEET HIM?

"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.      

Matthew 24:36-44(NIV)                                                                                             

I  Be watchful

II Live abundantly

 “If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping.”                                     Mark 13:36

III Put on your wedding gown

“Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready.”

                                                                                                                  Revelation 19:6-7

 John 14:1-4

1)  Drink deeply of your love.

2)  Make sure the gown is “pure and spotless.

3)  Live faithfully.

 “So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.”                                           

                                               II Peter 3:14
