“Is it the Twelfth Hour?” - Luke 7 - July 20th, 2025 - Pastor Scotty Brown

As global headlines turn our attention to Israel and mounting world crises, Pastor Scotty Brown reminds us how the Bible calls believers to vigilance in these last days. Moving beyond speculation, he digs into Mark 13, Matthew 24, and key end-times prophecies—encouraging us not just to watch political events, but to discern the times through the lens of God’s eternal Word. Pastor Scotty explores common extremes and misunderstandings about Israel’s role in prophecy, urges us to test all things and hold fast to biblical truth, and challenges both apathy and pride within the church. With vivid illustrations, practical warnings about technology, globalism, and counterfeit spirituality, this message draws our focus not to fear or despair—but to hope in Christ’s imminent return. The question isn’t just about world events: are you ready to meet your God at any hour? This timely sermon calls us to urgent repentance, spiritual readiness, and a life anchored in Jesus as our only unshakeable rock.
