Second coming; A contemporary look at the coming of Christ- Part 2

This entry is part 1 of 2 in the series Second coming; A contemporary look at the coming of Christ

Text: John 14:1-3

Introduction

As I mentioned in my previous sermon also the four cardinal doctrines of the Assemblies of God are Salvation, Divine Healing, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the Second Coming of Christ. Erroneous date-setters have inhibited many pastors from preaching on this subject lest they be grouped with those fanatics. BUT, HE IS STILL COMING! The recent world-wide revival plays into this picture; it is one of the signs of the imminent return of Christ. But there are many others, equally significant. In the next few weeks we will examine several.

I.    The re-birth of the nation of Israel

A.    Dispersion was God’s promised punishment

1.    Leviticus 26:14, 33 (Promised if they ignored His commandments)

2.    Deuteronomy 4:27,28 (To be scattered among the nations)

3.    Deuteronomy 28:64-68 (Their lot to be unpleasant)

4.    The Dispersion should not have caught Israel by surprise.

B.    The Re-gathering was also promised by God

1.    Ezekiel 37:12,13, 21,22

2.    Jeremiah 23:3 “And I will gather the remnant . . . “

Second coming; A contemporary look at the coming of Christ- Part 1

This entry is part 2 of 2 in the series Second coming; A contemporary look at the coming of Christ

Introduction

For my text I have selected only one scripture which foretells the coming of Christ. There are scores of others. The Assemblies of God recognizes four teachings as the cornerstones of our doctrinal statement;

Salvation, Divine Healing, Holy Spirit Baptism, and the Second Coming of Christ. The erroneous date-settings by a few misguided mystics has caused this doctrine to be pushed to the back burner in recent years, but I believe it is time for us to brush the dust from it and examine it again in the light of recent events.

Text: John 14:1-3

I. The promise of his coming

A. Jesus Himself promised it, (John 14:1-3, Matthew. 26:64)

B. The angels predicted it, (Acts 1:11)

C. The apostles believed it, (James 5:8)

a. John also spoke about this event, (I John 2:28)

b. Paul the apostle certainly believed it, (Hebrews 9:28)

c. Even the demons of Hell know that He is coming! (Matthew 8:29)

d. Not a matter of IF He is coming, it’s just a matter of WHEN!
