DIG

  1. In what ways is the Flood like the Second Coming of Christ?
  2. What are the practical implications of not knowing when Jesus will return? What does it mean to be ready for Jesus’ return if we do not know when he will come?

REFLECT

Specifically, how are you preparing for the Second Coming? How has the rhythm of Worship-Grow-Serve helped you to prepare? How have the 5×5 Readings helped you to Worship-Grow-Serve?
How would you explain the end times and the Second Coming to a searching person?

Over what has God given you stewardship? If Jesus came back in the next ten minutes, how do you think he would feel about how you had managed his resources?
