A summary of last week's message:

"Eschatology is the study of what the Bible says is going to happen in the end times." (www.gotquestions.org)

 Eschatology can be a very confusing and fear-inducing topic.

 It helps to know that Jesus did not begin his ministry with the end of God's grace! 

 Application: Jesus invites us to relate to our Father in heaven on the basis of love, not fear.

What to Expect while we are Expecting the End.......

1) Comforting Signs.

The Kingdom of God is Already Here (v. 21 "in your midst"). 

Heaven "landed" on earth 2000 years ago in the Person of Jesus Christ.

Every Bible-based, Spirit-filled, Jesus-honoring congregation is a franchise of heaven on earth.

Application: You don't need to keep looking for Jesus someplace else- 

2. Counterfeit Messiahs

3. Consuming Materialism 

4. Commanding Judgement
