Rooted in the Living Word Empowered by the Holy Spirit Abiding in Christ only Daring to Hope and to Love Yielding Fruit To God’s Glory Service: 8am & 10am Services Topic: End-times... Now or Future? Speaker: Elder Caleb Chua Soon Boon

Key Passage: Matthew 24 & Matthew 25

1. Introduction:

2. The Signs of His Coming

3. The Essential Truths

4. Our Response

Questions for Reflection:

1. What was Christ referring to when he spoke to his disciples about the signs of His coming? Are they regarding the future or was he referring to events that were within their immediate generation?

2. There are different perspectives as to the interpretation of end time events. What is your view and are there other essential truths that we all can agree upon as we look forward to the Lord’s return?

3. Our church’s vision is “to be the bride of Christ ready at His return”, what are some ways that as individuals and as a church, we can ready ourselves for His return?
