God’s Kingdom is Here and Now

Luke 12:32-40

32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the
kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves
that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes
near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning,36 like servants waiting for
their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they
can immediately open the door for him. 37 It will be good for those servants whose
master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to
serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. 38 It will be
good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle
of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had
known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken
into. 40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you
do not expect him.”

1. As God’s children, we have already been given everything.
2. We are called to give out of abundance, not scarcity.
3. When we invest in God’s Kingdom, our return on investment will be plenty.
4. We need to stay vigilant and be prepared.
