We are warned in the Bible that Jesus will return like a thief in the night and that we need to watch so that his return does not catch us off guard. Traditionally the church has taught that this meant to watch world news looking for signs of Christ's return. But in this sermon Mr. Smith shows us, by looking at several verses on this subject, that the true meaning is that we need to watch ourselves and make sure we are staying close to God and that we have the proper priorities in our lives.
