Your Redemption Is Drawing Near

Luke 21

 BIG IDEA

Jesus presents not a calendar but a portrait:

Don’t be distracted by worry and miss the most important truth…  Your redemption is drawing near!

1.  There will be deception.

Luke 21:8, See that you are not led astray.

2.  There will be disaster.

Luke 21:13, This will be your opportunity to bear witness.

3.  There will be distress.

Luke 21:28, Straighten up and raise your heads.

NEXT STEP

Display confidence to the world around you… The only safe place to be in troubled times is within the will of God.

Psalm 23, The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul.

He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;

You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,

and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
