In this sermon, Pastor Jud explores Matthew 10 and the truth that Jesus calls ordinary, often unqualified people and equips them with authority and the Holy Spirit to carry out his mission.

Listeners are challenged to move from comfort to calling — to proclaim the kingdom, heal, forgive, and bring hope in their homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods — trusting that God empowers those he sends.

In this sermon we examine Revelation 17:1–6 and verse 15, unpacking the symbolic vision of the great harlot—Mystery Babylon—and her global authority over peoples, nations, and tongues. Pastor Jud explains the harlot’s alliances with world rulers, her lavish apparel and corrupt religious influence, and her bloodthirsty persecution of God’s people. The angelic explanation clarifies the relationship between the harlot and the scarlet beast (Antichrist), the meaning of the seven heads and ten horns, and the city’s role as the center of end-times idolatry and apostasy.

This sermon explores Isaiah's encounter with God's holiness and how that moment of awe leads to confession, cleansing, and a life-changing call: "Here I am, send me." Pastor Jud emphasizes that availability to God begins with an authentic encounter, not with answers or plans.

Through Isaiah's experience, the message shows that surrender and repentance invite God's grace, which purifies and equips us for the mission ahead. Obedience follows being transformed, not the other way around.

The sermon challenges listeners to adopt a daily posture of availability—small acts of faithfulness, trusting God without full plans, and responding to God's quiet invitations with a continual "Here I am."

This sermon on Ephesians 6:18–20 teaches that prayer is the lifeline that activates the armor of God, keeping believers connected to Christ and spiritually alert.

The message closes with a call to repent, recommit to persistent prayer, and stand firm in God’s strength as the church advances the gospel.
