Warning from Gethsemane

In the garden of Gethsemane just before his arrest Jesus gave a warning to his disciples to prepare for the trial that was about to begin. They ignored the warning, but as Mr. Smith points out in this sermon, we can not afford to do so. This same warning is given several places in the New Testament including some places that give it as a warning to those alive at the time of the end of the age.

He graduated from Ambassador College in 1976 and he and his wife, Liz, moved to Peoria, Illinois. For the next six years he worked as a nursing home administrator in Illinois, Ohio, and Texas.
In 1982, he and Liz began to serve in the full-time ministry. Since that time, they have served in a number of congregations in the Midwest.
Gary and Liz now pastor in Houston, Texas near their two children and grandson.
