The Signs of the Times | Matthew 24: 1-14 | October 19, 2025

This sermon on Matthew 24:1–14 centers on Jesus’ teaching about the end times, emphasizing readiness, endurance, and mission over fear or speculation. The message opens by reminding believers that time is running out on God’s heavenly clock—Jesus is coming back, judgment is certain, and Heaven and Hell are real. While people debate how and when Christ will return, the real focus should be living faithfully and urgently in the present. Jesus’ prophecy about the destruction of the Temple was fulfilled, confirming that His future warnings about deception, war, disaster, persecution, and apostasy will also come to pass. Believers are cautioned not to be deceived by false teachers or discouraged by global chaos, but to stand firm in faith, endure to the end, and stay on mission—sharing the gospel with compassion in a world growing colder in love. The sermon ends with a heartfelt altar call, urging listeners to repent, realign with God, and take practical steps of obedience. The takeaway is clear: the end times aren’t meant to create fear but fuel faith, perseverance, and action—because until Christ returns, we have work to do.
