Series: When We Ask What?

1 John 2:28-29
Introduction
I. Until Jesus Comes, We Are To Love Him
II. Until Jesus Comes Back We Are To Look For Him
III. We Are To Live For His Appearing
IV. We Are To Live For Him

So again and again in the Bible, God encourages us, God admonishes us, and God challenges us regarding the second coming of Jesus Ch ...
