Date of Sermon: July 3, 2022
Main Idea: Be holy for Christ’s return is near! Key Verse: “Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep, for salvations is nearer to us now than we first believed.” Romans 13:11 Bible reading: 11 Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. 12 The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
