"How Committed Are You?" from Acts 14:19-28

Being committed is not just being a disciples. We can express our commitment by being good in our work, family and friends.

We should entrust our work to God. And always include to glorify Him in everything we do. Never forget God's grace and fellowship.

Jesus' disciples were called impostor. Specially Paul - people will mock him.

If we are committed to the scriptures we can never be swayed by mockery.

What are the things that can't keep us from being committed?
Sickness, famine, very busy at work, broken relationship, or financial needs?

Look at Paul, he had nothing but he entrusted his work to God.

If we are not committed to God we will surely give up. Stay connected with the vine and stay close to the scriptures.

Acts 9:16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.”

Strengthening
Remain true
And to Keep you to be more faithful to God.

What is our source of strength?

God is our strength, in Him we have our refuge to strengthen our soul.

Help us
John 16:23-24
23 In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. 24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.

Hardship - be encourage to remain true. We can never find encouragements outside (people around you) but if you go inside the Church it will help you spiritually.
Don't listen to the world but listen to the advice of Godly people.
One of the sign that you are committed to God is that we will have trials.

Nice Christian Life Experiences

Notes from Mark 13:14-27

Mark 13:14-27 New International Version (NIV) 14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a] standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. 20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even

Mark 13:32-37

Mark 13:32-37 New International Version (NIV) The Day and Hour Unknown 32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”
