Youth Sermon: Could Jesus Be Coming Soon?

Jesus is Coming Soon

Hey guys, grab your Bibles and flip to Revelation 22. Jesus is talking here and He says something pretty wild three times. He says, 'Look, I am coming soon!' Now, when Jesus says 'soon,' He means like lightning-fast.

You know how when you're playing a video game and you're waiting for that final boss to show up? You know it's coming, but you don't know when. That's kind of like what we're talking about here. Jesus is coming back, and it could be any moment.

Now, I know what you're thinking. 'What's God up to right now? Are we in the endgame? And if we are, what's our move?' We're going to tackle those questions.

Here's the thing, I think Jesus could be coming back super soon. This is a big deal, guys. We have a chance to make a huge impact for God, more than any generation before us. But we also have to be careful not to lose our faith. If we're in the endgame, we don't have to be scared. God's got us.

Look, I am coming soon!

Understanding Israel

Now, if you're were older than 53, the most important day of your life would be June 7, 1967. Since you're younger, it was May 14, 2018. These dates are big deals for Israel, and what happens in Israel affects the whole world.

I'm not a prophet or anything, but I've studied the Bible a lot. Some of what I'm going to share is my opinion, but it's based on what the Bible says.

To understand the endgame, we have to understand Israel. God's been building a team of people who trust Him since the very beginning. Israel is like the key to God's game plan.

Israel has done some amazing things. They gave us Jesus and the Bible. In Ezekiel 37, God showed Ezekiel a vision of dry bones coming back to life. This was a symbol of Israel coming back, and it's happened twice.

Signs of Jesus' Return

So, here are the signs that Jesus' return could be soon: 1. Israel has blessed the world. 2. Israel came back into their land in 1948. 3. Israel was reborn in one day. 4. The surrounding nations have been hostile towards Israel. 5. Israel owns the Temple Mount since 1967. 6. Today, the capital of Israel is Jerusalem.

If this is all new to you, it might sound crazy, but it's true. We've studied and checked out the Bible, and it's legit.

To get ready for Jesus' return, we can't let ourselves be tricked. There will be a lot of fake news, but God's Word is always true.

These prophecies aren't meant to scare us, they're meant to give us hope. When Jesus comes back, it's going to be the best day ever for those who believe in Him.

What Do We Do?

So, what do we do? We stay alert, we keep our faith strong, we pray for a spiritual awakening, and we bring as many people to Jesus as we can.

Let's pray together, asking God to use us until Jesus comes, guide us in truth, protect us from deception, and find us faithful when He returns.

And if you're not sure if you're a child of God, pray this simple prayer with me: Lord Jesus, I want to be Your child. Be my Lord and live Your life through me. I ask for forgiveness for my sins. I mean this with all my heart. In Jesus' name, Amen!
