THE ENDZONE. PART 1

 9 And when you hear of wars and insurrections, don’t panic.

Yes, these things must take place first, but the end won’t follow immediately.” 10 Then he added, “Nation will go to war against

nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and plagues in many

lands, and there will be terrifying things and great miraculous signs from heaven. Luke 21:9-11 (NLT)

 “It will seem like all hell has broken loose – sun, moon, stars, earth, sea, in an uproar and everyone all over the world in a panic, the wind knocked out of them by the threat of doom, the powers-that-be quaking.” Luke 21:26 (MSG)

WHAT TO DO WHILE LIVING IN THE END ZONE:

Luke 12:36-46

 36 “Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning; 36 and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. 37 Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. 40 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Luke 12:35-40 (NKJV)

WE SHOULD:

 42 The Lord said, “A trustworthy and thoughtful manager who understands the ways of his master will be given a ministry of responsibility in his master’s house, serving others exactly what they need at just the right time. 43 And when the master returns, he will find that his servant has served him well. 44 I can promise you, he will be given a great reward and will be placed as an overseer of everything the master owns. 45 But what if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master delays his coming, and who knows when he will return?’ Because of the delay, the servant elevates himself and mistreats those in his master’s household. Instead of caring for the ones he was appointed to serve, he abuses the other servants, both men and women. He throws drunken parties for his friends and gives himself over to every pleasure. 46 Let me tell you what will happen to him. His master will suddenly return at a time that shocks him, and he will remove the abusive, selfish servant from his position of trust. He will be severely punished and assigned a portion with the unbelievers.Luke 12:42-46 (TPT)

5. BE ___________________________________

 35 Jesus said to His disciples, “Why would you say, ‘The harvest is another four months away’? Look at all the people coming – now is harvest time! For their hearts are like vast fields of ripened grain – ready for a spiritual harvest. 36 And everyone who reaps these souls for eternal life will receive a reward. And those who plant spiritual seeds and those who reap the harvest will celebrate together with great joy!” John 4:35-36 (TPT)
