Acts 1:11, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come back in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”

2 Peter 3:3,8 “Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.  But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.  But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.”
2.  Let us be ready because of the signs
2 Timothy 3:1, “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.  For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,  heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,  treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power.”
Daniel 12:4, “But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end.  For many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

How not to worry: Settle your heart on what Jesus says is true

So what does Jesus tell us about not worrying…
1.  Know that God the Father cares for you
Psalm 86:15, “But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.”
1 Peter 5:7, “Cast all your anxiety onto God because he cares for you.”
2.  Know that worrying doesn’t change anything
Psalm 131:1-2, “I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me.  But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content. Israel, put your hope in the LORD both now and forevermore.”
3.  Know that God is sovereign over my circumstances
Isaiah 55:8-9, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
4.  Know that if I focus on God, God will handle the rest

2.5.23 Let us be giving - Malachi 3:6-11

My giving is important because…
1.  It is an act that honors the Lord
Leviticus 27:30-32, “Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the LORD’s; it is holy to the LORD.  And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman’s staff, shall be holy to the LORD.”
2.  It provides the needs of the church
3.  It gives me ground to stand on when I pray

Romans 12:4-6, “For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them.”

4.  Putting God’s word into practice is a protection for my life
God’s word protects me against falling away because of sin
God’s word protects me against falling away because of suffering
God’s word protects me against falling away because of suppositions

He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither.”
