As we find ourselves living in times that are unprecedented in history, we realize the time of the end draws nearer and nearer. What must we as Christians be doing to survive the end times and stand with Christ when He returns? In this sermon, we explore the first of three parts of a “survival guide” we find in the Bible. Note: Due to a technical issue that could not be foreseen or corrected, the transmission of this sermon was disrupted halfway through. The remainder of this sermon was given on June 27, 2020.
