Scripture:

Topic: Spiritual Warfare

- Christians drift toward naivety- Trick or treating... decorating... foolishness that doesn’t glorify Jesus- Test the spirits- We think some things neutral but everything glorifies God or Satan- What is it you won’t do anymore?- Youth will find themselves with new freedoms...- Music, holidays... spirits behind everything- American Idol... you cannot be what the world wants you to be without selling your soul, convictions, values- Sell out to God; nothing can satisfy like Jesus

Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

Topic: End Times

Notes:

- Jesus’ return is meant to comfort and encourage one another- Prophecy has been made academic, has become confusing and has divided people; what matters is that we are in the body of Christ- The Day of the Lord (God revealed) will come as a thief in the night- The Day of the Lord begins when Israel signs a peace treaty... it will be broken, people deceived.- We won’t be caught off guard because we won’t be here- The only real peace comes from knowing Jesus- Nothing in this world will improve your life; don’t need life improved but to be born again- If you don't know Jesus you’re deceived; there are saved and lost- If God delivered you, stop playing with fire- Sometimes I struggle with assurance of salvation... Ever feel the darkness closing in? It happens even to God’s children.- Depression can be physical... be careful how you try to help another- God is hanging on to you- There’s no hope in what will happen on the earth; Jesus is coming.
