    Luke 23:38-42 ESV

    38 There was also an inscription over him, “This is the King of the Jews.” 39 One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” 40 But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” 42 And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43 And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

    Jeremiah 23:5-6 ESV

    Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

    Zechariah 9:9 ESV

    And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.

    Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.

    John 14:2-3 ESV

    In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

    John 10:9 ESV

    I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.

    Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin.

    2) WALK BY THE SPIRIT

    Galations 5:22-26 ESV

    But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

    3) WALK ON MISSION

    Matthew 28:18-20 ESV

    And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

    The CrossHow to Really Have FreedomJon FredricksToday's Scripture: Luke 23:32-34 NIV__________ Luke 23:32-34 NIV32 Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. 33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots. Revelation 1:5 NIVand from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, John 8:34 NIVJesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.” Romans 7:21-24 NIVSo I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Romans 6:6 NIVFor we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— Romans 6:4, 14 NIV4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.14 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace. 1) HATE THE UGLYIsaiah 53:3 NIVHe was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Romans 8:6 ESV For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. Galatians 5:24 ESV And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 2) REACH OUT FOR THE IMPOSSIBLEJohn 3:16 NIV16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Acts 16:29-31 NIV29 The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” 3) WASH THE STAIN WITH HIS WORDEphesians 5:25-26 NIV25 … Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, Romans 12:2 NIVDo not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. 4) DEPEND ON HIS SPIRIT WHO IS IN YOU!John 16:7, 13 NIV7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. Romans 8:5 ESVFor those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. Galatians 5:16 ESVBut I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 5) WALK IT OUT WHILE HE WORKS MIRACLESPhilippians 1:6 NIV6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:12 NIVDo Everything Without Grumbling12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

    The CrossThe Promised OneJon FredricksToday's Scripture: Luke 23:1-31 NIV__________ Luke 23:1-31 NIVThen the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation. He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar and claims to be Messiah, a king.”3 So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”“You have said so,” Jesus replied.4 Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”5 But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here.”6 On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean. 7 When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort. 9 He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer. 10 The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him. 11 Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe, they sent him back to Pilate. 12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends—before this they had been enemies.13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people, 14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him. 15 Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death.16 Therefore, I will punish him and then release him.” [17]18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!” 19 (Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again. 21 But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”22 For the third time he spoke to them: “Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him.”23 But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed. 24 So Pilate decided to grant their demand. 25 He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will.The Crucifixion of Jesus26 As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. 27 A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him. 28 Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ 30 Then“‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!”and to the hills, “Cover us!”’31 For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?” 1) THE CROSS HAS LONG BEEN THE HEART OF GODIsaiah 53:1-10 NIV 2) THE MISSION OF THE CROSS IS LOUDLY PROCLAIMED THROUGH CHANGED LIVESJohn 14:10-11 NIV John 13:34-35 NIV34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Acts 1:8 NIV8… you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses Luke 19:40 NIV“I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” 3) THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS IS ONLY RECEIVED WITH A HUNGRY HEARTMatthew 27:54 NIV Luke 5:31-32 NIV Matthew 11:28 NIV

    Becoming GreatWake Up And PrayJon FredricksToday's Scripture: Luke 22:39-46 NIV__________ Luke 22:39-46 NIVJesus Prays on the Mount of Olives39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” 41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. 45 When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.” Proverbs 8:34 NIVBlessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. James 5:16b NIV…The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. Ezekiel 22:30 NIV“I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one. 1) TAKE SOME TIME OUTLuke 22:41 NIV41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, Luke 5:16 NIVBut Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. Psalm 46:10 NASB10 “Stop striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on the earth.” Matthew 6:6 NIVBut when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 2) WORSHIP GOD WHO IS BIGGER THAN THIS THINGLuke 22:42 NIV42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” Joshua 6:6-11 NIV6 So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.” 7 And he ordered the army, “Advance! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark of the Lord.”8 When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant followed them. 9 The armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard followed the ark. All this time the trumpets were sounding. 10 But Joshua had commanded the army, “Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!” 11 So he had the ark of the Lord carried around the city, circling it once. Then the army returned to camp and spent the night there. Matthew 4:10 NIVJesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’” 1 Peter 2:9 NIVBut you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 3) BRING YOUR LISTLuke 22:42-43 NIV42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. James 4:2 NIVYou desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. Matthew 7:7-9 NIV 4) TURN IT AROUNDLuke 22:44-46 NIV44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. 45 When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV

    Becoming Great

    Grace for Greatness

    Bobby Humes

    Today's Scripture: Luke 22:31-38 RSV

    __________

    Luke 22:31-38 RSV

    31 “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail; and when you have turned again, strengthen your brethren.” 33 And he said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.” 34 He said, “I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow this day, until you three times deny that you know me.” 35 And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” 36 He said to them, “But now, let him who has a purse take it, and likewise a bag. And let him who has no sword sell his mantle and buy one. 37 For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, ‘And he was reckoned with transgressors’; for what is written about me has its fulfilment.” 38 And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” And he said to them, “It is enough.”

    1) GREATNESS BRINGS A TEST

    Luke 22:31 NIV

    31 “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat,

    2) WE HAVE AN INTERCESSOR

    Luke 22:32 NIV

    32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.

    Romans 8:34-35 NIV

    Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

    John 17:9, 11, 15 NIV

    9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours

    11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.

    15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.

    3) PREPARATION FOR OPPOSITION

    Matthew 10:9-10 NIV

    9 Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts, 10 no bag for your journey, or two tunics or sandals or a staff, for the laborer deserves his food.

    Luke 22:35-38 NIV

    35 And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” 36 He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. 37 For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me has its fulfillment.” 38 And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” And he said to them, “It is enough.”

    4) GOD KNOWS FAILURE HAPPENS

    Luke 22:33-34 NIV

    33 Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.” 34 Jesus said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.”

    Luke 22:54-60 NIV

    Luke 22:61-62 NIV

    Romans 5:9-11 NIV

    Hebrews 4:16 NIV

    Becoming GreatThe Art of GreatnessJon FredricksToday's Scripture: Luke 22:24-30 NIV__________ Luke 22:24-30 NIV24 A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. 25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. 26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. 27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. 28 You are those who have stood by me in my trials. 29 And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. John 15:13 NIVGreater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. Philippians 2:5–7 NIV5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. Matthew 25:21 NIV“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ Proverbs 25:21 NIVIf your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. 1 Peter 4:8 NIVAbove all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1) LEARN TO HUMBLY RECEIVEJohn 13:2-8 NIVThe evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.” 2) TAKE TIME TO SEE WHAT GOD MIGHT SEEMatthew 5:41 NIVIf anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 1 John 4:20 NIVWhoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. Galatians 6:2 NIVCarry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3) DEDICATE DAILY WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN ME1 Peter 4:10 NIV10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. Acts 9:36 NIV36 In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good and helping the poor. Acts 9:39 NIVPeter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them. 4) TRUST GOD FOR OUR DEFICITHebrews 6:10 NIVGod is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. Colossians 3:24 NIV24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 2 Corinthians 9:10 NIVNow he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.

    Becoming Great

    Greatness Requires a Team

    Jon Fredricks

    Today's Scripture: Luke 22:7-23 NIV

    __________

    Luke 22:7-23 NIV

    7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

    9 “Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked.

    10 He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.”

    13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

    14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”

    17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

    19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

    20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. 21 But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. 22 The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed. But woe to that man who betrays him!” 23 They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this….

    Luke 22:24 NIV

    A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.

    Ephesians 2:10 NIV

    10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

    Psalm 23:5 NIV

    You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

    Luke 22:30 NIV

    so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

    Exodus 25:30 NIV

    30 Put the bread of the Presence on this table to be before me at all times.

    1) MAKE SPACE FOR A TABLE IN YOUR LIFE

    Leviticus 19:9-10 NIV

    9 “‘When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. 10 Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the Lord your God.

    Matthew 5:41 NIV

    If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.

    Psalm 46:10 NIV

    He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

    2) MAKE ROOM FOR PEOPLE IN YOUR HEART

    Luke 22:17-18 NIV

    17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

    John 19:29 NIV

    A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips.

    John 13:34 NIV

    “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

    3) MAKE ROOM IN YOUR HEART FOR PEOPLE

    1 John 4:20 NIV

    Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

    Matthew 22:37-39 NIV

    37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

    WORSTStandBobby HumesToday's Scripture: Luke 21:29-38 ESV__________‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭17‬-‭21‬‬that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 1) THE FIGHT IS ON! ‭‭Luke‬ ‭21‬:‭29‬-‭38‬‬And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. As soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all has taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. “But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.” And every day he was teaching in the temple, but at night he went out and lodged on the mount called Olivet. And early in the morning all the people came to him in the temple to hear him. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭31‬-‭32‬‬“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 2) JESUS ALREADY WON! 3) SO STAND! PUT ON YOUR ARMOR ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭11‬‬Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. PUT ON YOUR ARMOR: BELT & BREASTPLATE ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬‬Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬‬But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. PUT ON YOUR ARMOR: SHOES FOR YOUR FEET ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭15‬‬and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭27‬‬Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. ‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2‬:‭15‬‬So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter. PUT ON YOUR ARMOR: SHIELD OF FAITH ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬‬In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; ‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭4‬‬For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. PUT ON YOUR ARMOR: HELMET OF SALVATION & SWORD OF THE SPIRIT ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭17‬‬and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬‬I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬-‭13‬‬ ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬-‭20‬‬
