Introduction
When I was asked to preach the doctrinal sermon, I had no idea what I could bring this evening.
There are so many things that we could look at.
No doubt that we need to give focus to the great doctrines of scripture.
doctrine /ˈdɒktrɪn/
■ noun a set of beliefs or principles held and taught by a Church, political party, or other group.
There are many beliefs that should be preached on, but I believe that the Lord is leading me to remind you of the doctrine of Christ’s return.
Jesus is coming again.
The return of Christ is not contingent on whether or not you accept the doctrine of His return.
The Bible details what will happen in the days leading up to the last days as well as the last days.
I know that many people use the cliche that His return has never been closer than it is today.
However, it is not just a cliche.
If you look at the Bible and current events, you can not help but conclude that the signs are pointing toward the end.
Jesus detailed for us several signs to look for.
This afternoon, we want to look in .
I know that the apostles and early Christians worked tirelessly expecting Jesus to return at any point.
I also realize that about 2,000 years have passed since Jesus spoke these words.
I also realize that the number of signs available have never been like they are now.
Jesus is coming.
Are you looking for His return?
We are commanded to watch and be sober.
We are to be ready for His return!
Look at the signs!
Throughout the Old Testament, the Lord provided signs and prophecies related to the first advent of Christ.
Throughout both the Old and New Testaments, the Lord has given us signs of Christ’s return.
No doubt that scripture is very clear that no one can know the day or the hour.
In addition to telling us that we will not know the specific day or hour, the scriptures gives us indication that it near.
Daniel 12:
Many are running to and fro.
We are busy.
People are flying all over the world on a daily basis.
It estimated that there are 500,000 passengers in the air at any given time.
We are busier than we have ever been.
People are getting so busy that they no longer take time for the Lord.
We speed up and down the road in our own vehicles.
Larger cities are congested with traffic and people busily going about their lives.
Knowledge shall increase.
I have an app on my phone through which I have access to over 4,000 Bibles, Commentaries, Books, Articles, and Maps.
The internet has provided instant knowledge to any subject.
In an instant, we can know about something happening on the other side of the world.
I can remember in 2001, I could type something on my screen in New Orleans and it would appear on Christy’s screen in Amman, Jordan.
Not only do we have instant access to knowledge, but our knowledge is increasing exponentially every day.
New discoveries are being made and science is advancing.
Distress of the Nations
The nations of this world are distressed.
Jesus said that there would be wars and rumors of wars.
In the past 100 years, the USA has been involved in about 29 military conflicts.
The political turmoil in this world is unprecedented.
Sea and Waves roaring
The hurricane season of 2017 has been one of biblical proportions.
Not only have we seen hurricanes, but over the past decade, we have watched as tsunamis have decimated coastal areas.
There are many more signs pointing to Christ’s return.
We could speak about the signs for days or even weeks and not exhaust all of the ways that the Lord is telling us that He is coming quickly.
Look at the Lost!
Are you looking at the lost?
Once the end comes, their fate will be sealed.
The time for salvation is now!
We must be about the business of telling others about Jesus Christ.
If people die without being saved, they go to hell.
We must be about the business of making disciples.
Look at Jesus!
