How to live in the last days
https://www.youtube.com/live/Bjn0OfUFoAI?si=mrGFekhOW_X2FKl1
In this sermon, Pastor Jesse discusses how to live in the "last days" as described in 1 Peter 4.
Key points include:
• Living the rest of your time for God (1:11-1:40): Pastor emphasizes making the most of the remaining time in life by dedicating it to God's will, rather than worldly desires. This includes being good stewards of time and serving the Lord, especially for those in retirement (3:11-3:41).
• Bearing being strange (5:21-6:00): Christians should expect to be seen as "strange" or even "evil" by those who do not share their faith, as they no longer participate in the same worldly excesses. Pastor Jesse shares personal anecdotes about being misunderstood after accepting Christ (6:00-9:35).
• The end of all things is at hand (11:31-11:46): This phrase from 1 Peter 4:7 shifts the focus from endurance to expectancy. The suffering and difficulties faced by believers are temporary, and they should look forward to the coming of the Lord (12:35-13:10).
• Focus, not fear, regarding the Lord's return (14:26-15:27): The preacher explains that the concept of the "apocalypse" is not meant to instill fear, but rather to bring focus to the work and service of believers. History is not unraveling but is part of God's plan, and this hope should be shared with the world (16:00-17:19).
• Two phases of Christ's return (19:03-20:22): He explains that Jesus will first descend to call his bride (the church) before the tribulation, and then later will return publicly with his saints to reign for a thousand years on Earth, fulfilling promises made to Israel (20:22-21:20).
• Practical living in the last days (29:27-30:00): Believers are encouraged to be sober-minded and alert, not getting caught up in extreme or non-biblical interpretations of prophecy.
• Fervent charity and hospitality (30:27-32:19): Above all, Christians should have fervent love for one another and show hospitality without grudging, recognizing that these are crucial priorities in light of the Lord's return.
• Serving as stewards of God's grace (32:20-33:50): Every believer has received a gift (salvation and spiritual gifts) and should minister to one another with divine vigor, speaking the word of God, so that God may be glorified.
• Living ready, not regretful (34:32-35:08): The sermon concludes by urging listeners to invest their time wisely for Christ, as the only life not wasted is the one spent for Him
