Last Judgment Sunday: Date: November 8, 2020
– THE SERMON: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
Theme: Prepared for Christ’s Sudden Coming.
I. The Day of the Lord Comes as a Thief in the Night
II. Watch for that Day of the Lord
III. The Day of the Lord Is Our Day of Salvation
SERMON TEXT: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.
11 Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing. (NKJV)
PRAYER; THE LORD’S PRAYER
HYMN: 608 Let Thoughtless Thousands Choose the Road
1. Let thoughtless thousands choose the road
That leads the soul away from God;
This happiness, dear Lord, be mine,
To live and die entirely Thine.
2. On Christ, by faith, I fain would live,
From Him my life, my all, receive,
To Him devote my fleeting hours,
Serve Him alone with all my pow’rs.
3. Christ is my everlasting All;
To Him I look, on Him I call;
He will my every want supply
In time and thro’ eternity.
4. Soon will the Lord, my Life, appear;
Soon shall I end my trials here,
Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain.
To live is Christ, to die is gain.
5. Soon will the saints in glory meet,
Soon walk through every golden street,
And sing on every blissful plain;
To live is Christ, to die is gain.
BENEDICTION;
C: Amen.
Hymn: 53:1, 2, 6 Abide, Oh Dearest Jesus
1. Abide, O dearest Jesus, Among us with Thy grace
That Satan may not harm us Nor we to sin give place.
2. Abide, O dear Redeemer, Among us with Thy Word
And thus now and hereafter True peace and joy afford.
6. Abide, O faithful Savior, Among us with Thy love;
Grant steadfastness and help us To reach our home above.
