Sermon Sunday Service August 8, 2022 “Getting Ready” Luke 12:32-40
(Two messages from this week’s sermon – 1. “Don’t worry so much because God’s plan is to do good and give us the Kingdom and build it right here and you are a part of it.” 2. “God works that plan, and unexpectedly, so get ready. Be ready for those good things He wants to do for us, including bringing light and life and goodness amid chaos.”)
32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Watchfulness
35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. 38 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
*This week’s livestream was cut short unexpectedly, but we’ll try again next week to record the entirety. But this first part is good!
