Keep Your Clothes On (1 of 3)
Series: Get Ready
Jeremy Jernigan
Luke 12
1) Welcome!
a) For those of you who are newer to Central my name is Jeremy and I'm the executive pastor of our Creative Arts department
b) Last week we had 309 baptisms at our 5 campuses!
c) Open your Bibles to Luke 12
d) Open your journals to week 1
i) Today's message title is ''Keep Your Clothes On''
ii) The men listening suddenly became deeply interested in God's Word!
2) We are going to look at a passage that informs us to be ready for the second coming of Jesus
a) Question: Does the idea of Jesus returning to earth excite you?
i) If we knew this was happening next week we might rush into a few things:
(1) Charge up our credit cards
(2) Buy that sports car we always wanted
(3) Get front row tickets to see our favorite sports team
(4) Quit the diet
ii) If it did happen next week, would you have any regrets about it?
(1) Never saw your kids grow up
(2) Never got to be a grandparent
(3) Never got to be accomplished in your career or get that promotion
(4) Never got to enjoy retirement
b) Big idea: Our attitude about Christ's return shows us the maturity of our faith.
i) We need a sense of urgency if it happens soon
ii) We need wisdom if it doesn't happen in our lifetime
c) Luke is written about 50 years after the death and resurrection of Jesus
i) There were many people who thought He should have already returned
ii) There were others who were wondering if it would happen at all
iii) How much more is this an issue for us today!
3) Luke 12:35-38 ''Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37 It will be good [literally ''blessed''] for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will c ...
