1. See the face of God
- Scripture Reference; 1 Corinthians 13:12

- Though right now we cannot see God face to face, there will be a day when we can see God face to face, where we can see Him clearly
- Walking by faith is about learning how to live life without seeing with the full clarity we want

2. Jesus will return soon
- Leader Notes

- Life is not easy, but in Jesus, life is really beautiful, there is a vibrancy in the work that God does
- We all make the mistake of thinking we have a lot of time, but tomorrow is not promised to anyone, Jesus’ return is imminent
- Conviction from God is a sign that we are His child
- It’s important not to look busy when Jesus comes back, but to be about His business

3. Eat of the Tree of Life
- Scripture Reference; Genesis 3:22-24
- Leader Notes
-
- Any time we love a lie or we live out a lie, we are undercutting the life we are supposed to have
- We must be honest with ourselves about where we are on our journey with Jesus
- Jesus cares most about our hearts, not just what we do, He wants our hearts to be turned to Him because then our actions will follow our heart

4. Heed the warning
- Scripture Reference; Proverbs 30:6
- Leader Notes
-
- God and His Word are there for a reason, we must not add or diminish anything in His Word
- What makes you say that?
- How do you feel about that?
- How would you explain your answer to a non-Christian friend or neighbor?
- Why did God design it to work that way? Why not just do (whatever else) instead?
- What would you say to someone who disagrees with that?
- Why do we really have to do it like that? Why can't we just go (some other route) instead?
