What to do now!
Acts 1:7-8 Jesus is coming back! Acts 1:11 He will return the same way he left Anticipation of His return is growing His return has been anticipated since He ascended! -The Apostle Paul had to discuss this in Thessalonians -Every major world event has triggered talks of His return -I remember the Cold War, everyone thought The world was going to end soon, Jesus would return Jesus told us what to do until he comes back What to do now (until Jesus comes again) 1. Don’t predict the end of the world -We aren’t supposed to know -Even Jesus submitted to His Father regarding end times -Prepare as if Jesus is coming at any moment, plan as if he isn’t 2. Trust Jesus with your whole life! -Place your faith in His sacrifice for your sins -Place your faith in His resurrection from death -Romans 10:9-10 -God’s plan right now is for everyone to trust Jesus 3. Tell others what you know is true -Sharing the good news about Jesus Christ is our #1 task! -We are Christ’s witnesses- whether good or bad witnesses! -Jesus has empowered us to be His witnesses (vs 4, Holy Spirit) -Be more excited about sharing Jesus than sharing your opinion about how Jesus is coming back to fix the world! -Helping people trust Jesus with their whole lives IS how Jesus fixes our world! -“Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth” -this only happens when people surrender to Jesus Christ! 4. Share Jesus with the whole world! -Jesus provided a logical plan, go from local to global -Take the next right step to tell others about Jesus How everyone can share Jesus globally 1. Pray 2. Give 3. Go Consider this thought: If you believe the world is about to end, are you spending all your resources to help people go to heaven instead of hell? -Is the return of Christ something you are hoping for because you don’t want to deal with this world? -Who do you know will be eternally separated from God forever in hell if Jesus returned right now? -I pray we will be as excited and convicted to share the good news with our friends and family as we are about the return of Jesus Christ! What to do right now 1. Make your decision public -Connection Card -Website contact page 2. Depend on Christ’s power to obey Him -Jesus is the best leader anyone could ever follow! -His ways are perfect -His plans give us purpose -He gives us the power!

John 21:19 Jesus appears a third time to his disciples Lessons from the story Thank Jesus for failure -Peter went back to his former occupation -felt like a loser, denied Jesus three times -led everyone else back to fishing as well -He couldn’t even catch fish! -people tend to go back to what they know- not always good -Thank God when you fail at what you know you aren’t supposed to be doing! -Success may lead to pride, refusal to trust Jesus -Failure humbles us, reminds us we can’t depend on ourselves! -Get ready for Jesus to step in Look for Jesus where you are -Jesus said “cast your net on the right side” -This is how Jesus first revealed Himself to Peter -Then Jesus called Peter to follow Him -Peter and the disciples were suddenly successful -They finally see Jesus standing on the shore -We often rediscover Jesus where we first met Him -Rev 3:20 Jesus is knocking on our doors! -Mat 28:21 “I will be with you always” Trust in the resurrected Jesus! -He died to pay for your sins -He rose from death proving His power over sin and death -Jesus wants to take care of you -Jesus already prepared their breakfast -Who is serving you in Jesus’ Name? Jesus wants you to receive his full forgiveness -Jesus had Peter affirm his love for him three time -as many times as he had denied him -Jesus paid for every shameful action and thought -We must apply Christ’s forgiveness to every sin we commit -we must forgive ourselves! -stop offending Jesus by beating yourself up for what he has already forgiven and forgotten about! Follow Jesus! The best place to be in life is in the center of Christ’s will The center of Christ’s will is not always safe in this world! Don’t be distracted by Christ’s will for others! Follow Jesus! How will you trust Jesus today? Stop doing what isn’t working! Look for the people Jesus is sending you Trust in the resurrection power of Jesus Christ! Follow Jesus with your whole life

A: author B: Bible book I: Issue S: Series Many sermons in the St. Joe archive are machine-transcribed. St. Joe is presently transcribing its entire sermon library to render its content more easily accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing, those who speak English as a second language, and to make the sermon content searchable for everybody. While machine transcription makes this logistically and financially more viable, accuracy is sometimes sacrificed. St. Joe is gradually replacing machine transcription with human transcription as time and financial resources allow. Each sermon costs between $30 to $60 to transcribe. If you would like to help see the preached Word of God become accessible to more people, please consider an investment in the St. Joe ministry through the PayPal platform by sending funds to StJoeOnlineGiving@gmail.com, or click here.
