🌹 Honoring Mothers on Mother's Day Opening Scriptures Isaiah 66:13 — God’s comfort compared to a mother’s comfort. Isaiah 49:15 — A mother’s compassion reflects God’s faithful love. Psalm 131:2 — A quiet soul is pictured like a child with its mother. Personal Testimony God uses life experiences to teach and reveal His grace. Early struggles were not the end of the story.

⏳ Warnings of the Last Days ⚠️ Deception in the End Times Eschatology and the Signs of the Last Days Matthew 24 verses 3 to 14 was read as the foundational scripture, covering Jesus' warnings about deception, wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, persecution, and the preaching of the gospel to all nations before the end. Eschatology is defined as the aspect of biblical doctrine dealing with last things, including the rapture, tribulation, second coming, the millennium, and eternity. Jesus' first and primary warning to his disciples regarding the end times was to take heed that no one deceives them, emphasizing watchfulness, vigilance, and careful discernment. Many believers today are described as spiritually asleep, having allowed cultural pressure toward political correctness to dilute the boldness required to preach the gospel truthfully. The gospel is characterized not as a message designed to make people feel good, but as a call to turn from wicked ways and be made r...

The Olivet Discourse: A Call to Watchfulness and Readiness The heart of this message is the Olivet Discourse, the teaching Jesus gave on the Mount of Olives shortly before His crucifixion. In this teaching, Jesus answered questions about the destruction of the temple, the troubles that would come, and the signs connected to His return. It is called the Olivet Discourse because it was delivered on the Mount of Olives, just outside Jerusalem. What the Olivet Discourse teaches Jesus warned that hard times would come. He spoke about deception and false prophets. He described wars, unrest, and global trouble. He pointed to tribulation, lawlessness, and fear. He taught that His return would be visible and certain. He called His followers to remain spiritually alert. Signs connected to the times The message connects the Olivet Discourse to conditions seen in the world today: wars intensifying food insecurity increasing earthquakes in many places persecution of Christians rising violence and l...
