Serving God: His Plan In His Time
Isaiah 55:8-9

God’s thoughts operate at so many different levels. Yet He fulfills His plans for each one of us who surrender to Him.

Serving God as a lifestyle is doing whatever crosses your path.

Jesus got up early to commune and communicate with God.

God’s timing is always the most impactful for His Kingdom even if we don’t see the impact.

Believers have been given the power and authority to do what Jesus did!

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.” -Isaiah 55:8-9

A Memorial to God
Isaiah 55

God, through Isaiah’s prophecy, calls out to all human beings in the language of the marketplace. This invitation is for everybody.

Only what God is offering can satisfy.

God gave us David as our example. Even though David’s sin was great, God blessed the world through one of his descendants because of his relationship with God.

Who is the nation that did not know Israel? Every other nation, the Gentiles, us.

Seek the Lord while you can! Repent and receive mercy and compassion!

God’s thoughts are better than our thoughts. What are God’s plans?

This invitation is not just for salvation. It is for our ongoing relationship with our loving Heavenly Father.

All people have challenges! What is God’s solution for your problems!

Everything God puts in motion fulfills His purposes!

Whatever is accomplished is both celebration and a memorial to God forever!

Luke-The Investigative Gospel
Three Dangers with Reference to the Second Coming
Luke 17:20-27

“So what is a balanced Christian approach to the concern about the end times?”

1. Don’t Try to Make the Second Coming Fit your Preconceived Ideas and Expectations.

Over the last two thousand years lots of men have played neat little mathematical games with Bible prophecies in an effort to determine the exact date of the Lord’s return.

Jesus is saying, “Don’t look around you for the kingdom of God out there somewhere unless it is first of all in your own heart.”

2. Don’t Be Obsessed by End Times Thought and Study.

Jesus now turned to his disciples and instructed them not to become so obsessed with His return that they ended up doing nothing else except trying to track down the time of His return.

3. Don’t Allow Worldly Concerns To Dim Your Desire For the Lord’s Return.

The point is that when we live our lives for the things of the world, we lose the life that God intended us to live.

But what Jesus reveals is not intended for us to develop a chart, but for us to prepare our hearts.

I don’t know that it is too much different today for there are many professed Christians today who would see the Lord’s return as a terrible interruption to their plans.

The point of verses 34-36 seem to be that No matter how close two people are, either emotionally or physically, they may be separated by the judgment.

Jesus is coming again, make no mistake about it, and whether you believe it or not, or you’re ready or not, He Is Coming!
