Keeping our Eyes on the King • We must regain a deep appreciation for the Old Testament, especially the testimony of the Biblical prophets!  • We must pay attention to the political and military developments in Israel and the Middle East. • All of the nations surrounding Israel today are Muslim majority nations who share a collective hatred for both Jews and Christians – which is the spirit of antichrist. • The Scriptures emphasize the coming invasion of hostile nations surrounding Israel in the last days. • The Antichrist will most certainly emerge from a Muslim context and form military alliances to unite the Middle East in reviving the Islamic Caliphate. • The Day of the LORD describes the return of Christ and His judgment against specific nations. • We must keep our eyes fixed on Zion – God’s holy mountain – for He has claimed Jerusalem forever! • We speed the return of the King by fulfilling the Great Commission until the fullness of the Gentiles is complete.

Possessing the Mind of Christ  Truth #1 — Jesus and the Apostles warned us that spiritual deception would be the primary sign of the end times. [Matthew 24, Acts 20:28-32, 2 Timothy 4:1-5] Truth #2 — The primary weapon that cuts through the darkness of spiritual deception and reveals the truth is the Sword of the Spirit — the Word of God. [Ephesians 6:16-20, Hebrews 4:12-13] Truth #3 — Without the mind of Christ and the interpretation of the Holy Spirit, we cannot even begin to comprehend Scripture, leaving us vulnerable to false teachings. [1 Corinthians 2:10-16] Truth #4 — If our minds are to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, then we must be transformed by the daily renewal of our minds. [Romans 12:1-2] Be Doers of the Word  Make sure that you have the mind of Christ and make the commitment everyday to renew your mind with His Word!

Preparing for the Last Days — Sealed with the Holy Spirit • You will not be prepared to face these last days unless you are sealed with the Holy Spirit. [2 Corinthians 1:21-22] • God seals those who hear and believe the gospel and are born again. [John 3:1-8, Ephesians 1:13-14] • The Holy Spirit is God’s security deposit which guarantees our eternal inheritance and final redemption. [Ephesians 1:13-14] • God puts a seal of ownership upon those who have been adopted into His family — providing blessed assurance to all who belong to Christ. [Romans 8:9-17 Time of Response Have you been sealed with the Holy Spirit? Do you belong to God? Have you trusted in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior? Are you sure of your salvation? Settle this today!

Nimrod and the Tower of Babel Genesis 10-11 I. Nimrod was a rebel king who was attempting to establish an evil empire on earth — Babylon. [Genesis 10:8-11] II. The Tower of Babel was not some technological attempt to reach outer space but was an attempt to interact with and worship the evil principalities and rulers in heavenly places. [Genesis 11, Isaiah 14, Ephesians 6:12] III. God confused the languages and dispersed the nations as an act of mercy.[Genesis 11] IV. As an act of divine judgment, the LORD handed the nations over to be ruled under the authority of other gods. [Deut 32:8-9, Psalm 82] V. The LORD then chose and called Abram out of Babylon and started his own nation. [Gen 12, Deut. 32:8-9] VI. When the Spirit came down at Pentecost, God was beginning to reverse the rebellion at Babel. [Acts 2:1-13] Putting the Word into Practice When we speak the truth in love, we speak the language of God! Let us Go and make disciples of all nations.

One Race — One Blood — Genesis 10 • The Table of Nations reminds us that there is only one race — the human race — and only one blood. [Genesis 10:1, 32, Acts 17:24-28] • Only the Bible provides the true history of the human race and provides a legitimate explanation for the origin of nations and languages. [Genesis 10, Acts 17:24-28] • While the Gentile nations rebelled in pagan idolatry and devoted themselves to other gods after Babel, the LORD chose for Himself a people for His own possession and created the nation of Israel. [Genesis 12:1-3, Deuteronomy 4:15-20, 32:6-9] • The entire story of redemptive history is the good news that the Most High God — through Christ — is reclaiming for Himself a people for His own possession from every nation and language. [Matthew 28:18-20] • The primary mission of Jesus Christ is that by shedding His own precious blood for sinners, He paid the purchase price to redeem us and make us into a holy nation and a kingdom of priests forever! [Revelation 5:9-10] Putting th

Pray for Peace for Our Country 2 Chronicles Chapter 7, Verse 12 and following. •This was a promise to Israel, and was not specific to the United States. •Where a group of believers live in peace, there peace can be. •We are (and were founded) as a Christian nation. •We are what the people vote, and we are to vote our conscious according to the word of God. • It is the responsibility of ALL of us to know the Bible and to know our representatives. • Real peace will only come when Jesus sits on the throne. • We should spend more time in the Bible to learn God's will for our lives.

The Curse of Canaan Genesis 9 I. God’s word never embellishes the truth but often portrays the heroes of faith in an embarrassing light. [Genesis 9:18-23] II. Upon closer examination, Ham’s sin against his father Noah most likely was sexual in nature. [Genesis 9:18-29, Leviticus 18, 20] III. Noah’s pronouncement of both blessing and cursing carried significant weight as the patriarch of the family! [Genesis 9:24-27] IV. The consequences of the curse of Canaan become a primary thread that is woven throughout Scripture. [Genesis 9:24-28] V. The good news is that through Christ Jesus, all the nations of the earth have been blessed! [Genesis 9:25-28, 12:1-3, Galatians 3] Putting the Word into Practice  We either remain under the curse of Adam and are condemned by the law, or we have been redeemed by the work of Jesus Christ through faith. Are you still under God’s curse or are you enjoying God’s blessing of salvation?
