DEPARTURE MINDSET

BE Watchful so you are not surprised or left behind:

“But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him.” (Matt. 24:43-44)

In what ways do I need to get myself and others prepared?

BE ABOUT YOUR FATHER’S BUSINESS

BE Faithful in your duties, knowing your Master’s Will:

“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?  It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.”

(Matt. 24:45-46)

What does Jesus expect of me in my present season of life?

TALENTS: Talent, Time, Treasure

BE good Stewards by investing in eternal

purposes:

“To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey.  The one who had received the five talents immediately went and business with them and earned five more talents. In the same way the one who had received the two talents earned two more. But he who received the one talent went away and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.” (Matt. 25:15-18)

In what ways can I invest myself in eternal purposes?

THE LEAST OF THESE

BE Serving Christ by serving people:

“For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me. Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of Mine, you did it for Me… Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it for one of the least of these, you did not do it for Me, either.”

(Matt. 25:35-36, 40, 45)
