My parents were members there in the early 80\u2019s when Bro. James Langston was the pastor. I have so many memories of those days: Easter and Christmas plays, church potlucks, singing with the choir, and attending Camp Canaan. It is always a thrill to return and have the privilege of preaching in a church that means so much to me.<\/p>\n<p>Their longtime pastor, Bro. David Crane, asked me to preach both services while he took a well-deserved vacation. The congregation at Battlefield is always so easy to preach to, and the Lord blessed us with His presence throughout the day. I am grateful for the opportunity and for the kindness of these dear people.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday evening, my heart was stirred to preach from Jude 1:14\u201315 on \u201cJesus Is Coming Again.\u201d With all the burdens and uncertainties of life, our hearts need to be reminded that the Lord has not forgotten His promise. The same Jesus who died for our sins and rose again is coming back. His Word is sure, and His people have every reason to look toward that day with expectant hearts.<\/p>\n<p>There is a solemn warning in these verses, too. Christ\u2019s return means judgment for those who reject Him. The Saviour who offers mercy today will one day come in righteousness to judge. That truth ought to move us to examine our own hearts and urge those without Christ to trust Him while there is opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>But, child of God, what encouragement there is in knowing that our troubles will not last forever! The grief, weakness, and heartache we carry will not have the final word. We will be with our Lord. Until then, His promise gives us reason to keep serving Him, keep walking with Him, and keep telling others about His saving grace.<\/p>\n<p>God blessed our time together in His Word that evening, and I pray this message will encourage your heart as you listen. If you have grown weary along the way, take some time to be reminded of this blessed truth: Jesus is coming again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jesus Is Coming Again Jude 1:14\u201315 | Battlefield Baptist Church | November 8, 2026 Battlefield Baptist Church holds a special place in my heart.
