Sermon Overview
Reidhead explores the "Signs of the Times," focusing on the "increase of lawlessness" and the "cooling of love." He argues that the primary sign is the "condition of the church"—specifically the drift into humanism. He calls the believer to "Watch and Pray," ensuring their lamps are trimmed and their lives are fully yielded to the Lord of the Harvest.
Key Principles
Lawlessness Sign:Identify the "spirit of lawlessness" in the world as a primary indicator that the King is near.
Sleepy Church: Ensure your "lamp is trimmed"; refuse to drift into the humanistic slumber of the modern age.
Ready as Obedience:Define your "readiness" not by charts, but by "Immediate Obedience" to the Spirit’s voice.
Urgency of Now: Live with the "haste" required of the final hours; treat the harvest as your primary life-goal.
Heart Signs: Watch the "internal weather" of your own heart; ensure your love for Christ is not cooling.
Holy Separation: Use the "Blessed Hope" as a divider that keeps you from being entangled in the world's values.
Immediate Readiness:Treat "Immediate Obedience" to the Spirit’s voice as your primary state of readiness.
Final Hour Urgency:Live with the "haste" required of the King’s business, focusing entirely on the Great Commission.
