Pastor Marshall Ochs | November 12, 2023
In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from 2 Thessalonians 1-2. The church is concerned that they have missed the Day of the Lord. Paul addresses their concerns by making reference to Jesus’ teaching in the Olivet Discourse. They have not missed the Day of the Lord because certain events must take place before Jesus returns. Paul outlines these events and his message brings comfort to us today.

Reflect
Do I encourage others, boast about their successes and positive qualities, or do I focus on the negative?
Are you prepared for the coming of Christ? Will He find you to be faithful to Him or simply pretending to truly know Him as your Savior?
When people look at your life, do they see Jesus?
How often are you in God’s word? If there is not a daily time of reading God’s word, but you are only listening to other forms of information, (i.e., news, podcasts, books, other people’s opinions) you will not be able to discern truth from lies and can easily be deceived.
We must live with our eyes open to the signs around us and the knowledge that time is of the essence. If you knew that you only had 7 years of life left before the return of Christ, how would you live differently? Please read Mathew 25: 1-13 in closing and reflect on how God is leading you to prepare for His return.
