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. Scripture Highlights Matthew 24:40–44; Matthew 25:1–13, 31–32; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; 2 Peter 3:10–11; John 14:12; Acts 2; 2 Corinthians 5:17 Takeaways The “age of grace” is an invitation to respond to Jesus now. True belief shows up in action—serving, forgiving, giving, and going. Stay spiritually awake: keep oil in your lamp (life in the Spirit). Live holy and ready—Jesus is coming, and our hope is secure in Him. Call to Action Need prayer or want to follow Jesus? Reach out to us or visit this Sunday—we’d love to walk with you.
