This past Sunday, Guest Speaker Mark Hazzard preached a message entitled "Be Ready." Speaker Mark Hazzard walked us through Matthew 24, where Jesus reminds His disciples that while no one knows the day or hour of His return, His followers are called to live with watchfulness and readiness. Drawing from Jesus’ comparison to the days of Noah, We are challenged not to become distracted or complacent but to recognize the urgency of the times and remain faithful in our walk with Christ. He also encouraged us to consider those in our circle of influence who do not yet know Jesus, reminding us that the call to be ready includes sharing the hope of the Gospel with others. This message invites us to live each day prepared for Christ’s return, faithfully serving Him and pointing others to Him while there is still time.
✍️ Notes Title: Be Ready – Mark Hazzard Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" Matthew 24:1-3 (NKJV)
"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore, you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Matthew 24:36-44
In my opinion, one of the most critical signs that we are in the last days…is that people will not pay attention to the signs that we are in the last days.
⭑Are you ready for the return of Jesus? ⭑Are there people in your circle of influence who don’t know Jesus?
Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Matthew 24:44
