Good morning. Are you blessed this morning?

Amen. So good to be back here. I was here last June and then your pastor's taking a little time away with the family. I applaud you for doing that and just continue to come

and be in the church and be a member of the church and support it. God bless you, it's great.

Now, Pastor Robert last year asked me, he said, man, when you you come back would you teach on the

bait of Satan I said I'd be delighted to because you know I wrote the book 11

years ago but I've never felt more urgent about this message for the body of

Christ and it been today even more so than 11 years ago.

So it's really kind of a fun twist for me today because I just got done with my 12th

manuscript Friday and sent it to Time Warner.

And so it's the longest book I've ever written.

It's called Driven by Eternity, which deals with the Eternal.

And so it's fun to shift gears back and preach this most important message.

So I'd like you to open your Bibles with me because I want to get right into the word of God.

We've got much to share today to

Matthew the 24th chapter. Matthew 24 and that's where we're going to begin. Now why are you turning

your Bibles there? Let me ask you this. How many of you believe

that we are living in the last days that Jesus is soon to return?

Honestly, put up your hands high. Put them up high. All right, that's good.

Jesus said you know know the season,

and you'd have to be spiritually dense,

not to understand that it is the season of his return.

And so the apostles asked Jesus here.
