INTRO: Time to Meet your Maker
Many People “Refuse” to Believe in God, because they “Reject” the idea of being accountable to a supreme being. Every Pastor has been a Student Pastor at some point in their ministry. Some of you may recall doing a Judgement Seat skit. We had Heaven – Hell – Demons – Angels – Devil – God. People were sentenced to the right or the left (Heaven or Hell).

Your first Step is to be sure that you have begun a relationship with God through Christ. If you haven’t asked Christ to become your personal Savior, forgive your sins and be Lord of your life that is your Next Step.
Why do you do what you do? What motivates you is what you worship. Your Next Step may need to change your motives and begin to live a life of stewardship making God the center of all our motives.
Prayer
Take time to discuss with your Life Group the struggle some of you are facing. Pray that God will continue to remind us and too give each of us peace knowing that God is working for his purpose and we can join Him as the hour of his second coming approaches.
