"End Times"
Hot Button Series
July 1, 2018
Warm up
With Canada Day this week, how meaningful is that day for you personally? Why?
Read
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
Message Recap
Main idea: Followers of Jesus need not fear the end
What we see:
1. The Timing of the End (1-3)
2. The Assurance of the End (4-8)
3. The Purpose of the End (9-10)
4. The Preparation for the End (11)
Why focus outside ourselves?
1. Following Jesus is like swimming upstream
2. People that we love are in darkness
Questions for discussion
Looking at this passage about the end, which of the four things we could see meant the most to you? Why?
Application
- 1 Thessalonians 5:11 says we are to “encourage each other and build each other up.” What does that look like in your life (if at all)?
- In focusing outside ourselves, how often (if at all) do you intentionally invite people to follow Jesus? How do you do it?
