Book excerpt: Time and history show that there comes a moment when God delivers a final message to His people, an ultimatum. We can see this very clearly in relation to the nation of Israel in the Old Testament and the Church in the New Testament. When the apostle Paul writes his first epistle to Timothy, he warns about the "Latter Times": "Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith" (1 Timothy 4:1). This refers to the period after the apostolic era, from Timothy's days until the rapture. Later, Paul writes to Timothy again, this time addressing the "Last Days": "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come" (2 Timothy 3:1). These last days are those that precede the coming of the Lord Jesus, the days we are living in. In 1 Timothy, Paul shows how to maintain order in the local church during the latter times. In 2 Timothy, he advises us on how to maintain this order despite the disorder in professing Christendom. The apostle John, in his first epistle, speaks of the "Last Hour" (1 John 2:18), and Jude mentions the "Last Time" (Jude 1:18). These expressions indicate the abandonment of sound doctrine, as Paul warns: "...they will not endure sound doctrine, but... according to their own desires... they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables" (2 Timothy 4:3-4). This book aims to provide biblical support for the faith of the Christian, awakening faith and purpose in life, and alerting those who have not yet realized that the end is near. Preaching is a sublime and responsible task. The preacher must be an example of modesty, respect, and purity, speaking as a friend and avoiding a tone of superiority. Each sermon should strengthen the listeners' bond with Christ, with liveliness and confidence. Prayer is fundamental for an effective discourse, allowing the message to grow and renew itself. The preacher must be blameless, humble, and clear, avoiding the ostentation of knowledge. Preparing a sermon is a spiritual exercise, requiring careful study and meditation. This book is an additional resource for sermon preparation, born from intimate communion with God and dependence on the Holy Spirit. May each sermon touch hearts and draw listeners closer to Christ. May God bless your ministerial journey, using this book as an aid in the mission of preaching the Word with clarity, conviction, and spiritual power. The book is formatted as a devotional, covering various topics of the Christian faith.
