God’s People On That Day

[ 4.30pm ]
Speaker: Ps Vernon Quek
Zechariah 12:10 – 13:9

Intro: Our Big Question: Who are God’s People?

• On that Day  (13:1, 2, 4) = these last days

 God’s People in these last days are… 

1. A Spirit-filled People who are deeply repentant  (12:10-13:1)

2. A Cleansed People who do not tolerate falsehood (13:1-6)

3. A Scattered People longing for their God (13:7-9)

Conclusion: ‘They are My People’; ‘The LORD is my God’ (13:9)

Questions for Discussion and Reflection: 

1. Do you see these 3 markers of God’s People in the last days in yourself? Which of these 3 markers do you desire to see more of in your life?
2. How are we as a church family doing in these 3 areas? What shows Zion Bishan to be God’s People in these last days? What do we need to have more of together as a congregation?
3. Spend some time praying in response to what we’ve heard today, remembering that it is what God does first that produces these 3 markers in us.
