| | How Can We Be Ready Spiritually? by Stephen Kaung
Topic: Second Coming Scripture(s): Matthew 24:44-51, Matthew 25:1 | | Description: Brother Kaung lays out the attitude of one that is ready for the coming of the Lord. We should prepare for His coming knowing that it is only by His grace that we will be fully ready. Spiritual things should be the first priority in our lives and we should live for God's purpose, separated from the world. The Lord is coming for those wise servants that prepared themselves for His coming. They were looking for His coming. The foolish servant is living for the temporal and is not looking for the Lord's coming. The wise servant is one that is filled with the Holy Spirit. The wise servant uses the Lord's talents to advance the kingdom of God. In Summary: Our attitude towards His coming must be right. We must be filled with the Spirit. We should serve the Lord with the gifts and talents that He has given unto us.

| | Therefore Be Ready Also by Erlo Stegen
Topic: Funeral Scripture(s): Matthew 24:44 | | Description: Every one of us should be ready to be taken by the Lord. The famous evangelist DL Moody preached at the memorial service of someone who was with him in the ministry, Philip Bliss. Bliss was an American composer, conductor and writer of hymns and wrote songs like “Almost persuaded”, “Wonderful words of life”, “Let the lower lights be burning”, “Hallelujah what a Saviour” and the melody for “It is well with my soul”. Bliss and his wife died in a railroad accident. He was 38. His death was a great shock to the Christian world. Moody himself said what a disappointment it was for him. But he also said that from the time he heard that he was to take the memorial service there was just one thing running in his mind, “therefore be ye also ready”. When Kjell heard that u. Friedel was so sick in Switzerland he and his friends prayed for him every day that God would touch and heal him and at one point, Kjell said, “maybe one of us will go first”. Moody continued and challenged the audience to be ready before the close of this service. Ask yourself the question, are you ready to meet God?

| | The Wickedness of Noah's Day by Carl McIntire
Topic: Scripture(s): Matthew 24:37 | | Description: Carl McIntire reminds us that Jesus told us that as in Noah's day, the same conditions would exist just before His return. A world lost without God rejects Him and His Word, and ridicules those who stand fast in obedience to God. Yet we must be faithful to proclaim the Truth to all, and let the decision be theirs, as did Noah - who's entire household was saved by God from destruction.

| | Men Like Noah in Days Like Noah by Brian Long
Topic: Noah Scripture(s): Matthew 24:37 | | Description: Recently Brian preached a message at the “Let Us Rise Men’s Conference” in Barnsdall, OK. Brian preached a powerful message, one I dare say every man today needs to hear, called, “Men Like Noah In Days Like Noah.” Brian sounds a clear clarion call for the men of our day to: Wake Up, Get Up, Clean Up, Stand Up, Build Up, Never Give Up, & Look Up.

| | The Supernatural Hand of Mercy by Carter Conlon
Topic: Mercy Of God Scripture(s): Matthew 5:43-48 | | Description: July 13, 2008 - We must not set our hand to bring about our own justice. God will stop us when we are going down the road of bitterness and unforgiveness. When He leads us in the direction to love our enemies He will provide what we need to do it. God will simply put His hand of supernatural mercy in our hand and He will give us the power and love to wash the feet or our enemies. The Lord will fight our battles and bring about justice for us but will He find a willing heart to be merciful to our betrayers?

| | Love your Enemies by Art Katz
Topic: Loving Your Enemy Scripture(s): Matthew 5:43-48 | | Description: To have enemies goes without saying, but our relationship to our enemies is probably going to be the most formidable aspect of the Last Days reality of believers. Can the Life within us exhibit and express something that contradicts the sinful lifestyles of the world, especially as the world become more evil?

| | God-Likeness by Dick Woodward
Topic: God Scripture(s): Matthew 5:38-48 | | Description: These verses are perhaps the most difficult in the teachings of Jesus to interpret and apply. They teach the highest ethic this world has ever heard. The religious leaders had been teaching that the Law says to love your neighbor (which it does) and to hate your enemy (which it does not). Jesus corrects the misunderstanding and calls for total commitment from His disciples. Loving our neighbors and even our enemies according to Gods standards is impossible, except for one thing: we have Jesus living in us.

| | What Are You Doing More than Others? by Dick Woodward
Topic: Attitudes Scripture(s): Matthew 5:43-48 | | Description: If we follow Jesus and have His attitudes, we will be changed. We will become the salt of the earth and like lights that shine in the world. That means that we will not live the same way that others live. We will do more because we have Jesus living in our hearts. We will have a greater love than the world knows and show greater grace and mercy than the world understands. In so doing, we will become like our Father in heaven.

| | A Call to Holy Living by C. H. Spurgeon
Topic: Scripture(s): Matthew 5:47 | | Description: A SERMON DELIVERED ON LORD'S DAY MORNING, JANUARY 14TH, 1872, BY C. H. SPURGEON, AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON. What do ye more than others? Matthew 5:47. IT is a very great fault in any ministry if the doctrine of justification by faith alone be not most clearly taught. I will go further, and add, that it is not only a great fault, but a fatal one; for souls will never find their way to heaven by a ministry that is indistinct upon the most fundamental of gospel truths. We are justified by faith, and not by the works of the law. The merit by which a soul enters heaven is not its own; it is the merit of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am quite sure that you will all hold me guiltless of ever having spoken about this great doctrine in any other than unmistakable language; if I have erred, it is not in that direction. At the same time, it is a dangerous state of things if doctrine is made to drive out precept, and faith is held up as making holiness a superfluity. Sanctification must not be forgotten or overlaid by justification. We must teach plainly that the faith which saves the soul is not a dead faith, but a faith which operates with purifying effect upon our entire nature, and produces in us fruits of righteousness to the praise and glory of God. It is not by personal holiness that a man shall enter heaven, but yet without holiness shall no man see the Lord.

| | The Law of God and Your Word by Dick Woodward
Topic: Law Of God Scripture(s): Matthew 5:33-42 | | Description: The religious leaders in Jesus day had an elaborate system in which some oaths were binding and others were not. It was an absurd, complicated system that did not honor Gods command not to bear false witness. Jesus insisted that His disciples be people of the Word and people who keep their word.
