Luke 17:20-37
Big Idea: If you want to be ready for the kingdom then, get ready for the kingdom now!
1) Opening Words
a) Greetings!
b) Regenerate Review
2) Breaking the News
a) Remember?
i) Where were you when you heard about 9/11?
ii) When you heard that Reagan was shot?
iii) When you heard that Elvis had died?
b) No question: Big News Impacts Us!
c) Did you hear???
i) One of the realities of human is nature is a love for being the first to tell others news.
(1) Call it ''being concerned''
(2) Call it ''gossip''
(3) Call it getting ''the scoop''
