Date: May 17, 2026

In this sermon, the pastor reflects on the tendency to delay important matters and uses Matthew 24 to emphasize Jesus’ warning that no one knows the day or hour of his return. The sermon contrasts ordinary life before the flood with the need for readiness, using Noah’s days to show that Christ’s coming will be unexpected and that salvation comes through Christ in the midst of judgment.The sermon also explains Jesus’ command to stay awake and be prepared, describing readiness as faithful and alert living rather than fear or speculation. It closes with the contrast between the faithful servant and the wicked servant, calling listeners to carry out their responsibilities with diligence, prayer, and care for others while living in expectation of Christ’s return.
