MESSAGE: Ready or Not, Here He Comes!
SPEAKER: Skip Heitzig
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 24:29-31

MESSAGE SUMMARY
Children love to play games. One of those games is Hide and Seek where a child, after counting to ten, will call out to his friends, "Ready or not, here I come!" One day, after a time of intense distress, Jesus will return to the earth for the second time and many will not be ready for it. Those who survive and are ready will be gathered together with the rest of God's people to be ushered into God's eternal Kingdom. Are you ready or not?

MAKE IT PERSONAL:
1. Learn to view your world through the lens of the biblical writers. What indications can you see that time is short?
2. Why do you think Jesus spoke so much about hell in His earthly ministry? What does His crucifixion have to do with it? How could this truth motivate you in sharing the gospel?
3. Memorize 2 Peter 3:11 this week. Make sure personal holiness is increasing and not decreasing!
