Live from Mt. View Church on September 14, 2025

In this sermon, I reflected on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk and interpreted these events through the lens of unchanging biblical Truth. I explored how culture is already responding across a wide spectrum—from secular media analysis to the church’s call to faith—and what these responses reveal about the deeper spiritual battle taking place.

I warned that we must not miss the bigger picture: these events are signs of the times. Scripture tells us that persecution will increase, love will grow cold, and the return of Jesus Christ is drawing near. This message is a call to prepare our hearts, to stay awake, and to be ready—not only for the reality of persecution—but for the glorious second coming of our Lord.

What about the pastors who chose to stay silent this week? What about the Christians who claim that they can see “both sides,” as if there were two sides in the targeted murder of one of our brothers in Christ? Are compromise and comfort the idols of the church of our day?

This episode challenges believers to examine the contrast between the shifting narratives of our age and the eternal truth of God’s Word, and to anchor themselves firmly in the hope and courage that only the gospel provides.
