Sermon Recap
Terrible. Stressful. Perilous. Paul was very clear in 2 Timothy 3 that there would be dark and difficult times in the end days. In the sermon, Wake Up, Stand Up, Speak Up, Dr. Brian Keesler acknowledges that we are indeed in those days and that the Body of Christ needs to rise up and shine the light of Jesus. Despite the urgency of the times we are living in, many members of the church have fallen asleep and are not walking in their authority. More than ever we need to wake up, rise up, and stand up for the gospel of Jesus. When the church falls asleep, the entire world pays. Dr. Keesler reminds the church that Jesus never had a problem proclaiming right and wrong and if we want to follow in his footsteps, we must do the same. Dr. Keesler also encourages the church that one of the ways they can exercise their God-given authority is by voting in the upcoming election. He reminds the church that they are not voting for a personality, they are voting for a mechanism. It’s high time to wake up, the world needs us.
