Sunday evening Dara sang a special for us then Pastor David sang and preached from Mark 13:1-8. The beginnings of sorrows. The signs of Jesus coming back are everywhere. Are we ready? We must stay as close to God as we can. We must be an example to our friends and family and all lost souls. We have to stay prayed up and stay in the word lest we be deceived. Don’t take man’s word, take God’s word. We have a loving and merciful God who is giving us time to be ready. Don’t wait though because we don’t know when He is coming back.
