Pastor Angie explains why waiting to worship only in church leaves you spiritually behind.
Pastor Angie Hattabaugh opens the sermon by stressing the importance of worshiping God daily, not just in church, to stay in His presence. She transitions to discussing the end-times, referencing Pastor Dennis's recent series on the rapture and the need to 'live ready' rather than get ready at the last moment. Angie uses the analogy of preparing for unexpected house guests to illustrate spiritual readiness, warning against embarrassment when Christ returns. She explores the tension between expecting Christ's imminent return and preparing for a potential long wait, emphasizing the need to pass faith to future generations.

The message includes practical advice on starting each day with consecration and staying 'boiling hot' for God. Angie reads from Mark 13, underscoring the call to vigilance and watchfulness.
