SERIES: Rumblings of War and the Prince of Peace
MESSAGE: Big Mess; Bigger Message
SPEAKER: Skip Heitzig
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 24:12-14

MESSAGE SUMMARY
Whenever there's a mess, a messenger with a message is needed. God has always worked that way. In ancient Israel he sent prophets to herald truth to a recalcitrant nation. In church history God raised up evangelists to proclaim the gospel to sin-hardened and cynical generations. The future Tribulation will be the biggest mess ever, yet God will still have his message heard! Lets notice four human conditions that will prevail in the future of earth's most severe time.

OUTLINE
I. Lawlessness (Vs 12a)

II. Callousness (Vs 12b)

III. Faithfulness (Vs13)

IV. Responsiveness (Vs14)


LIVING IT:

1. How do you notice the effect of culture upon your spiritual life? Think of modern American values as promoted by songs, movies and advertisements—how do these affect you?

2. When is it hardest for you to be faithful to Jesus Christ? When is it easiest? Why? Does having a network of spiritual friends around you help? How integrated are you with them?

3. Someone said, "The church that does not evangelize will eventually fossilize." That could be also said of every individual Christian. Pray that God will open a door for you this week to tell others about Jesus.
