The End is Near

Pastor Paul Feuerstein
|
June 2, 2024

Main Idea

Pastor Paul's main idea was that we should live our lives with the awareness that the world as we know it will come to an end. He used the example of Daniel, who lived in Babylonian captivity and received visions of future governments symbolized by beasts, to illustrate that earthly powers are temporary. Pastor Paul stressed that God's kingdom is everlasting and that we should live in a way that reflects this truth. He urged us to find comfort in God's sovereignty during times of distress and to ensure our names are written in God's book of life through faith in Jesus.

Scripture References

Psalm 90:12, Daniel 7-8 & 10-11, Daniel 12:1-3, Matthew 24:6-7, Revelation 13:8

Summary

In the final message of the 'Living in Babylon' series, Pastor Paul Feuerstein reminded us of the importance of living in the light of the end times. He drew from the book of Daniel, where Daniel's visions of four beasts represented successive governments, highlighting the transient nature of earthly kingdoms compared to God's eternal kingdom. Pastor Paul emphasized that despite the distress and turmoil we may face in the world, we should focus on the everlasting kingdom and live with the end in mind. He encouraged us to remember that distress can lead to beautiful new beginnings, much like birth pains lead to the joy of new life.

Call to Action

Some next steps to take this week:

Put your faith in Jesus today and don't wait another day to secure your place in God's eternal kingdom.

Focus on leading others to life in Jesus, ensuring they too have their names written in the book of life.
