  1. When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” (Lk. 18:1-8; Rom. 8:31-39)

  2. If God is for us, who can be against us? • (Romans 8:31) • What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

  3. If God is for us, who can be against us? • (Matthew 12:30) "He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad. (NKJV)

  4. If God is for us, who can be against us? • (Matthew 6:24) "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. (NKJV)

  5. Have you been as faithful to God as He has been to you? • (Romans 8:39) nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NKJV)

  6. Have you been as faithful to God as He has been to you? • (Romans 8:32) He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? (NKJV)

  7. God Loved Us, But Do We Appreciate It? • (John 1:11) • He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. (NKJV)

  8. What Have You Given to the Lord? • No Temporal Gift is Sufficient. • (Acts 17:24-29) • "God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. "Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. "And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, "so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; "for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.' "Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man's devising. (NKJV)

  9. What Have You Given to the Lord? • Without sincere love for Him, we ourselves are insufficient. • (1 Corinthians 13:1-3) • Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. (NKJV)

  10. What Have You Given to the Lord? • Without sincere love for Him, we ourselves are insufficient. • (Romans 12:1-2) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (NKJV)

  11. Faith is always accompanied and demonstrated via works. • (James 2:14-26) What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons…

  12. Faith is always accompanied and demonstrated via works. • believe--and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. (NKJV)

  13. Faith is always accompanied and demonstrated via works. • (Philippians 2:12-18) • Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain. Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me. (NKJV)

  14. Faith is always accompanied and demonstrated via works. • (2 Timothy 2:15) Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (NKJV)

  15. Every aspect of our worship is for the BUILDING UP of the other souls! • Singing – Colossians 3:16 • Praying – James 5:16 • Reading – 1 Timothy 4: 13 – 16 • Communion – 1 Corinthians 10: 15 – 22 • Giving – 2 Corinthians 8: 1–15 • Preaching – 1 Corinthians 14:3 • Evangelism (Ac. 8:4) • Restoration (Gal. 6:1-2; Jas. 5:19-20; Jude 1:20-25)

  16. What is strong enough to stop us from faithfully serving the Lord? • Not the troubles nor people of the world. • (Romans 8:35) • Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

  17. What is strong enough to stop us from faithfully serving the Lord? • The cares for material needs of this world should not be a distraction from Him • (Matthew 6:24-34) "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? "Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of…

  18. What is strong enough to stop us from faithfully serving the Lord? • The cares for material needs of this world should not be a distraction from Him. • …the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; "and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. "Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' "For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. (NKJV)

  19. What is strong enough to stop us from faithfully serving the Lord? • Not for lack of spiritual blessings : • (Ephesians 1:3) • Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, (NKJV)

  20. Christ should take center stage in our lives. • (Colossians 1:18) • And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. (NKJV)

  21. Christ should take center stage in our lives. • Our very lives belong to Him: • (Romans 8:36) As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." (NKJV) • (Galatians 2:20) "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. (NKJV)

  22. Nothing but SELF will take us away from the love of God which is in Christ. • (Matthew 25:34-40) "Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 'for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 'I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.' "Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 'When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 'Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' "And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.' (NKJV)
