Malachi 4:1-3, 2 Thessalonians 3:11-13 and Luke 21:5-19

By the end of November we will have moved through all the Seasons of The Christian Year from Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, and Kingdom Tide. The scriptures this Sunday highlight the expected Last Days and God’s final “winding up/down” of human history as we know it. Very dramatic, very cosmic!

The all too human tendency has been to predict when the End is near. There are New Testament warnings to NOT do this but still books and sermons persist in saying “look, it’s all over by next year!” I will share two of those books/booklets on Sunday. One from the late Sixties (!) and the other from 1988 (!).

Sunday we will look at three texts that speak to those Last Days. But no predicting day or hour! Better still we will be encouraged to stay alert and still “do the work!” Of walking by faith! Tending to the “least of these” even as the world collapses around us and then God makes “all things new.”

Do we have an interesting, exciting faith, or not!!??

See you Sunday!
