110220-0830-Loran Livingston - With a Sense of Expectation

2011-02-20-0830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning February 20th, 2011 in the 8:30 service.

Scripture: Luke 12:40-48; Matthew 24:48-51; Revelation 13:13-15

Topic: Faithfulness

Notes:

- Media story: in the future, will be able to distinguish between robots and human?- Description of the Beast in Revelation... uses “like”... could be robotic- Jesus is coming; we will all eventually die.  We must be ready- When the attitude becomes that Jesus is delaying, wickedness follows- When people lose expectancy, we get careless about our thought lives and actions- The strength of my life is the Word and the power of my life is prayer- I must wait on my Master; I don’t know when He will appear- There should be a distinguishable difference between the church and the world- The world has crept deceptively into the church; preachers preaching another gospel- Only two days matter: this day and that day.  I live this day to be ready for that day.- Young preachers want a big church... they want to be pampered and coddled... deified- If called of God, one will preach the whole counsel of God- People needing “a word”... might as well eat a fortune cookie.
