Israel has just concluded its Memorial Day, a day of mourning fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism. Then with a special ceremony they began their Independence Day, a day of rejoicing over becoming a nation in 1948. Israel now celebrates 78 years as a nation. All the while enemies still have the goal of wiping Israel off the face of the earth. Tension remains high as the official deadline for the ceasefire with Iran approaches conclusion. A delegation from the United States has had their trip postponed as Pakistan has made known their uncertainty to attend. President Trump was asked whether or not he would resume bombing, to which he replied, "Well, I expect to be bombing, because I think that's a better attitude to go in with." On another front, a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon will soon conclude. Israel has accused Hezbollah of a "blatant" ceasefire violation. Meanwhile the Strait of Hormuz continues to be blocked.

The Lord will so completely answer the deceit and destruction of the wicked that there will be no wicked left at the last. The sermon, drawn from Nahum 3:1–7, delivers a powerful theological warning and comfort by exposing the moral and spiritual bankruptcy of the city of Nineveh, portrayed as a 'bloody city' consumed by lies, robbery, and oppressive power. It emphasizes that God's wrath is not only against Nineveh's violence and destruction but also against its deceptive allure—its 'harlotries' and 'sorceries'—which seduce nations into idolatry and false security. The vivid imagery of war, slaughter, and humiliation is not merely historical prophecy but a divine revelation of God's ultimate justice, assuring believers that no earthly power, no matter how formidable, can withstand the Lord's opposition. The central truth is that the greatest terror for the wicked is not physical destruction, but the reality that God Himself is against them—a fate more dreadful than any earthly judgment. The sermon calls the faithful to reject both fear of tyrants and envy of worldly power, instead finding refuge in Christ, who bore God's wrath on the cross.

In this sermon on Matthew 25:1–13, the Parable of the Ten Virgins, we are lovingly called to examine whether we are merely near the things of Christ or truly ready for Christ Himself. Jesus teaches that outward appearances can be deceiving: all ten virgins carried lamps, waited for the bridegroom, grew drowsy, and heard the midnight cry. Yet only five were prepared. The difference was not proximity, activity, or religious appearance, but inward reality. The sermon warns against nominal Christianity—faith in name only, without the living grace of God in the heart. Readiness for Christ cannot be borrowed from parents, spouses, pastors, or churches. Each soul must personally repent, believe, and come to Christ. Nor can readiness be postponed. The closed door reminds us that lost opportunities cannot be regained forever, and that now is the day to embrace the gospel. Yet the sermon is not only a warning; it is a gracious invitation. Jesus is the fair and loving Bridegroom who welcomes sinners, opens the way through His death and resurrection, and calls us to live in joyful readiness. To be prepared means daily trusting Christ, renouncing idols, clinging to the gospel, and living by grace. For those who know Him, His return is not terror but hope. One day the waiting will end, faith will become sight, and the Bridegroom will come. Therefore, let us keep watch, keep believing, keep repenting, and keep our hearts fixed on Christ until He comes in glory.
