Living with the End in Mind

Living with the End in Mind                    Pastor Josh Schmidt

1 Peter 4:7-11

BIG IDEA: The approaching end should give urgency and clarity to our mission as the church.

How should believers live in light of the end:

1. Understand our (7):

The end of all things is near;

1 Peter 4:7(CSB)

2. Pray  (7b)

be alert and sober-minded for prayer.

1 Peter 4:7(CSB)

3. Love  (8-9)

Above all, maintain constant love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaining.

1 Peter 4:8-9(CSB)

4. Serve (10-11)

Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve others, as good stewards of the varied grace of God. If anyone speaks, let it be as one who speaks God’s words; if anyone serves, let it be from the strength God provides, so that God may be glorified through Jesus Christ in everything. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

1 Peter 4:10-11(CSB)

BIG TAKEAWAY: The Church doesn’t get to take a  when the world is .
