Of His Return
The return of Jesus is certain; He has given us signs that indicate His second coming. This Sunday, Pastor Nathan Tee identifies the key signs and major events that characterize the End Times, explaining how and why we need to prepare ourselves for these events.

Life Group Discussion Guide
1. Start with a prayer
2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
- Share a time you delayed doing something important because you thought there was still a lot of time. What happened in the end?
3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
- Read the passage. What signs and events will accompany the return of the Son of Man?
- Why are the warnings about Jesus’ return meant to prepare believers rather than help them predict the future?
4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
- In what ways might you be spiritually “sleeping” or neglecting what God has entrusted to you?
- Do you tend to ignore or minimize the reality of Christ’s return in your daily life? What attitudes or habits reveal whether you are truly living in expectation of Jesus’ return?
5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
- What change can you make in your priorities so that your life reflects readiness for Jesus’ return?
- What responsibility or stewardship has God entrusted to you (family, ministry, discipleship, work)? How can you handle it more faithfully?
6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
- Praise the Heavenly Father because He is sovereign over history and faithful to accomplish everything He has declared. Thank Him that Jesus will return in glory as King and Lord, and that His coming will fulfill all His promises. Rejoice that He has graciously made us part of His Kingdom and entrusted us with the privilege of serving Him while we wait for His return. Thank Him that His Word reveals what we need to know so that we may live in readiness and hope.
- Repent for the times you have lived as though Christ’s return is distant or unimportant. Ask for forgiveness for being spiritually complacent, neglecting the responsibilities and opportunities God has entrusted to you. Confess the ways you have become distracted, lazy, or careless in stewarding your life, relationships, and ministry. Pray that the Lord would awaken your heart so that you may live faithfully, alert, and ready for the day when you will stand before Him.
