When the Lord Jesus Christ likens His coming to the days of Noah, does He liken it to the ark lifted up, or to the flood that "took them all away" (Matthew 24:39)? Read Matthew 24:44 and ask whether "such an hour as ye think not" (Matthew 24:44) is an hour no man can know, or an hour a man has already decided He will not come. Then ask how long the men outside the ark had watched it built, and what they did with their last seven days. "For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights." (Genesis 7:4)

The sermon explores the theological tension between the believer's secure seal in the Holy Spirit and the reality of grieving the Holy Spirit by sinning. It argues that Christianity is not merely about moral performance but about a personal relationship with the indwelling God, where the believer's body serves as the temple of the Holy Spirit. The message emphasizes that sin, whether in thought, word, or deed, causes grief to the Spirit because He is a person who dwells within the believer, knowing every intention and action. The preacher urges the audience to live with a reverential fear of God, defined as an acute awareness of His constant presence, which transforms daily conduct and prevents the gradual loss of spiritual joy and assurance. Ultimately, the call is to acknowledge the Spirit's leading in every aspect of life.

WHEN GOD DECLASSIFIES THE SECRETS. [What Is Hidden Will One Day Be Revealed] Luke 12:1–3 KJV For decades, secret aircraft such as the U-2 and A-12 OXCART flew from highly classified facilities while the public wondered what was moving through the heavens. Today mankind continues searching distant worlds for answers about the universe. Yet Scripture begins with the ultimate answer: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."In this message, the mystery of classified files becomes a picture of a much greater spiritual truth. God sees what we have classified, God will reveal what we have covered, and God can cleanse what we could never erase. One day the books will be opened, but through the blood of Jesus Christ the sinner can be forgiven today.Man can classify a secret for decades, but nothing has ever been classified from Almighty God.
