In this stirring message from Joel 2, Pastor calls the church to wake up, consecrate, and engage with what God is doing as “the Day of the Lord” draws near. He explains why this day is both great and terrible — great for those redeemed in Christ, but dreadful for those who remain in rebellion against God — and why this truth is meant to move us to action, not speculation.

Through the book of Joel, we are shown God’s threefold call in a shaking world: move from compromise to consecration, from lack of power to fullness of the Spirit, and from the sidelines to full engagement in God’s purposes. Pastor challenges believers to “rend their hearts, not their garments,” to seek God with urgency, humility, and whole-hearted devotion as personal, national, and global shakings increase.

This message also highlights God’s promise to pour out His Spirit in the last days, raising up a bold, Spirit-filled people who will stand firm, shine brightly, and help prepare nations for Christ’s return. Rather than being driven by fear, news cycles, or cultural pressure, believers are called to look through the lens of Scripture and respond in prayer, consecration, and obedience.

The message concludes with a powerful invitation to surrender fully to God, asking Him to “make me ready,” shape us like clay in the Potter’s hands, and empower us to walk in His purposes one step at a time.

If you sense God calling you to deeper devotion, greater courage, and real spiritual alignment in this season, this message will both challenge and strengthen you.

In this powerful and sobering message, Pastor Mark teaches on “The Day of the Lord” and the urgent biblical call to Stay Awake. Drawing from Scripture throughout the Old and New Testament, he explains the difference between “the last days” and “the Day of the Lord,” why the early church lived with this reality at the center of their faith, and why many modern believers have lost this awareness today.

As the world experiences increasing shakings—politically, socially, morally, and personally—this message calls us to view everything through a biblical lens rather than fear, distraction, or numbness. Rather than being overwhelmed by chaos, Jesus gives us a simple but powerful instruction: watch and pray.

You’ll be challenged to examine whether you are growing more alert or more weighed down, more hungry for God or more distracted by the noise of life. The message ends with a heartfelt invitation to seek God, be made ready, and allow the Holy Spirit to awaken, strengthen, and steady your heart in this season.

If you desire greater spiritual clarity, peace, and readiness in uncertain times, this message is for you.

This Sunday we started a new series called Stay Awake, and it was a timely and needed reminder for the season we’re living in.

This message wasn’t about fear or predictions. It was about learning how to see the world through God’s perspective instead of the world’s noise. We talked about how easy it is to become distracted, discouraged, anxious, or spiritually numb when everything around us feels chaotic and loud.

Jesus told us ahead of time that the world would shake — not to scare us, but to wake us up.

We looked at what Scripture says about the times we’re living in, why spiritual “slumber” is so common, and how God uses shaking, hardship, and even discomfort to draw our hearts back to Him. Not to condemn us — but to awaken us.

If you’ve been feeling tired, distracted, discouraged, overwhelmed, or just spiritually dull lately, this message is for you. Our prayer is that God would awaken our hearts again and remind us that He is in control, He is present, and He is faithful.
