Opening Hymn: The lord is my Shepard by Hymns.com
1
The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want;
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.
My soul He doth restore again,
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E’en for His own name’s sake
Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill;
For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still.
My table Thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.
5
Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me,
And in God’s house forevermore
My dwelling-place shall be.
Sermon:
Believers must endure persecution, resist deception by false prophets, recognize difficult events (wars, famines, natural disasters) as “beginning of sorrows” (labor pains), not the immediate end, and watch for specific signs like the “abomination of desolation,” all while knowing the exact time is unknown, requiring constant readiness and reliance on the Holy Spirit. Little Apocalypse,” warns disciples about intense tribulation, false messiahs, and cosmic signs before His glorious return, urging constant readiness (“stay awake”) because, though the general time is known, the specific hour is hidden, emphasizing watchfulness over fear and focusing on faithful endurance until the end when the Son of Man gathers His elect. .Jesus’s Olivet Discourse, a prophecy about the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple (foretold as “not one stone left upon another”) and future tribulations, emphasizing that followers should not be deceived by false messiahs or signs, but remain steadfast, trusting in Our Heavenly Father, ready to endure persecution and “testify,” knowing their perseverance will lead to salvation and not be in vain. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be counted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man”. Depending on where your walk is with your Heavenly Father you should always ask your Heavenly Father what to do and he will help you, and guide you. If things go wrong you should always ask for forgiveness and he will forgive you. You should always regardless of your level with your Heavenly Father spend a lot of time with him and hand over any stresses you have Ultimately, whether “tongue talking” stopped depends on one’. s interpretation of scripture and belief about the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in the church today. Speaking in tongues today is still under heavy debate, but back in the time of apostle Paul, it was stopped according to 1 corinthians chapter 13. This was due to a chaotic thing happening. There was times when it was used, the adversary had shown up.
Closing Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the coming of Your Son, Jesus Christ, and we pray to be among the wise virgins who are ready for His return. Help us to live a life of faithfulness and preparation, keeping our spiritual lamps full of the oil of good works and constant vigilance, just as you have taught us. Grant us the grace to serve You faithfully and wisely in all that we do, so that when the bridegroom arrives, we may enter the wedding banquet with joy. In Jesus’ name.
Our lord and savior we pray, please forgive me of my sins
against you, please come into my heart. By the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me.
