Last week I began one of the strongest messages the Holy Spirit ever breathed into mine.  This week we continue to the hard part that shows clearly how this nation has gone well beyond those two cities and how the Christian church must respond biblically. 

The Death of a Nation As Christians Watched in Horror from their Pews 

In the first two messages of this series, the Jewish religious leaders questioned Jesus. His answers pointed them first to the "sign of Jonah" and then "the days of Noah".  In this week's message, the questions came from His disciples. He gave them a lot of insight about the signs of the times - what they were and were not. Again He closed this discussion pointing them to the "days of Noah"....

This is the second message in our new series, The Signs of the Times in Jesus' Own Words.  If you missed last week's message, "The Sign of Jonah", it is available on this channel as well as our website www.onlyjesus.life.  The video and written blog versions may be found there as well. 

Key Bible Verse: " Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.” But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation craves a sign; and so no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet;"  Matthew 12: 38-39

A question for the church aka the Christians who fill the pews. Today we close this series that went a lot longer than I thought when I taught the first of these Five "Callings" (actually they were commands).  I briefly review all five and the ONE WORD answer to this question will become self-evident.

This is the fifth of Jesus' five "love" commands as He made His way toward Calvary. This section of the Gospel of John, deemed the Upper Room discourse, was vital information for the eleven disciples that remained.  His words are equally vital for Christians today!
