   The End Times According to Jesus: Are You Prepared? | Matthew 25:1–13

   Main Text: Matthew 25:1–13 (ESV) 1 “Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. 5 As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. 6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ 7 Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. 11 Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ 12 But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour. Preaching Point: You must spiritually prepare to meet Christ, or risk being left out of the Kingdom of Heaven. Teaching Points: Don’t Delay Your Preparation (vv. 1-5) Don’t Depend on Someone Else’s Preparation (vv. 6-12) Stay Prepared (vv. 10-13) Application Questions: Write down one observation or application you found helpful from this week’s sermon. Why did it stand out to you? Read Hebrews 4:1–7 and Isaiah 55:6–7. Why is “rolling the dice” and delaying your preparation to meet Jesus dangerous? What current area in your life (i.e., salvation, obedience, repentance, forgiveness, etc.) do you need to address to prepare yourself spiritually to meet Jesus face-to-face? Read Matthew 25:7–12 and Matthew 7:21–23. Why might someone expect to enter Christ’s Kingdom and yet be excluded? What distinguishes false assurance, which is excluded from Christ’s Kingdom, from saving faith, which enters Christ’s Kingdom? Even as a genuine believer, how might you become overly dependent on someone else's spiritual maturity (a spouse, parent, etc.) rather than cultivating your own relationship with Christ? Read Romans 13:11–14 and Luke 12:35–38. What does maintaining a constant readiness to meet Jesus look like? How would your daily priorities and habits change if you cultivated greater readiness to meet Christ face-to-face?

   The End Times According to Jesus: Stewardship in the Interim | Matthew 24:45–51

   Title: The End Times According to Jesus: Stewardship in the Interim Main Text: Matthew 24:45–51 (ESV) 45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 47 Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. 48 But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed,’ 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants and eats and drinks with drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know 51 and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Preaching Point: Knowing our Master will return should motivate us to faithfully steward what he has entrusted to us while he is away. Teaching Points: Know God Requires Your Faithful Stewardship (v. 45) Expect God to Reward Faithful Stewards (vv. 46-47) Expect God to Judge Bad Stewards (vv. 48-51) Application Questions: 1. Write down one observation or application you found helpful from this week’s sermon. Why did it stand out to you? 2. Read 1 Corinthians 4:1–2 and Romans 13:11–14. What would it look like for you to live this week with a greater awareness that God has entrusted your life to you as a stewardship for his Kingdom? a. In what area of your life are you most tempted to act like an owner rather than a steward? How can you change that this week? 3. Read Revelation 22:12 and 1 Corinthians 3:10–15. Why should the prospect of Christ rewarding his servants at his return motivate you toward greater faithfulness? a. What area is the Holy Spirit currently convicting you to choose eternal reward over immediate gratification? 4. Read Matthew 25:14–30. What does the “Parable of the Talents” teach you about God’s ownership of your life and your accountability for what he has entrusted you? a. How should you think about your life, resources, relationships and salvation as stewardships that God has given you with expectations that you produce a return for the Kingdom of God? 5. Read Luke 12:47–48 and 2 Peter 3:3–7. Does the certainty of God’s judgment toward those who reject God motivate you evangelistically? Why or why not? a. How can you use these passages, or others like it, to compassionately show an unbeliever that God is going to judge their rejection of the gospel with specificity and perfect justice?

   The End Times According to Jesus: Who Knows? Be Ready! Part One | Matthew 24:36–44

   Main Text: Matthew 24:36–44 (ESV) 36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. 42 Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Preaching Point: Since we don’t know the day or hour of the end, we must remain vigilant and ready at all times for Christ's return. Teaching Points: Don’t Try to Guess the Date (v. 36) Stay Vigilant (vv. 37–42) Stay Ready (vv. 43–44) Application Questions: Write down one observation or application you found helpful from this week's sermon. Why did it stand out to you? Read Deuteronomy 29:29 and Acts 1:6–8. How can focusing on what God has not revealed about Christ’s return distract you from what he has clearly commanded you to do? How does continual vigilance concerning the return of Christ help you prioritize and advance in your mission to make disciples today? Read Luke 17:26–30, Luke 21:34–36, and 1 Thessalonians 5:1–6. How does being consumed with the ordinary concerns of life cause you to become spiritually asleep regarding the return of Christ? Which parts of your life most easily distract you spiritually — work, entertainment, money, your kids’ schedules, relationships, possessions, or something else? What does staying spiritually “awake and sober” look like for you this week? Read Titus 2:11–13, 1 John 3:2–3, and 2 Peter 3:11–14. What do these passages say should characterize a Christian who is preparing to meet Christ? What areas of your life need greater spiritual discipline so that you are living prepared to meet Christ?
