Drawing from Matthew 24–25, this message calls the Church to live alert and ready for Jesus’ return—not in fear, but in the power of the Holy Spirit. Pastor unpacks a biblical timeline from Creation and the Fall to the present “age of grace,” and shows how Jesus’ words—“stay awake” and “be ready”—translate into a life of repentance, holy living, and active service. You’ll hear why belief must become action (John 14:12), what the parable of the ten virgins teaches about oil in our lamps, and how the hope of Christ’s coming fuels urgency and love today. If you’ve been lukewarm, distracted, or delaying obedience, this is your wake-up call to receive grace and step into the “greater things” Jesus promised.
