PASTOR WAYNE WRITES
March 20, 2026
When Peter made that first confession of faith in Jesus Christ, He proclaimed Him as the “Christ, the Son of the Living God.” The term “Christ” refers to the “Anointed One,” the “Messiah,” the Savior sent from God to redeem lost man from his sin. This one statement acknowledges Jesus of Nazareth as having the same nature as God the Father.
Beloved, that is not the concept of Jesus Christ in the majority of churches today. Modern churches have humanized Jesus in their worship music and preaching, and deified the singers and preachers. As Chuck Missler said in his book, “Footprints of the Messiah,” “The majority of what passes for Christianity on an average Sunday morning is nothing more than a subtle form of idol worship.” Or as Leonard Ravenhill said back in the 1970’s, “We are a million, billion miles away from New Testament Christianity.”
Throughout the Old Testament, the Messiah is depicted as Prophet, Priest, King, Prince, Ruler, and Redeemer —all positions of leadership. David, Isaiah, and Jeremiah all referred to Jesus as God. Matthew, John, Peter, Paul, Thomas, and even the blind man all called Jesus God, as did the angels in heaven, and God the Father. Jesus even referred to Himself as God.
Beloved, how does this compare with your version and vision of the Lord Jesus? The title of this sermon is: “Jesus’ Journey to Jerusalem – From Caesarea Philippi to Jerusalem.”

THE WATCHMEN’S REPORT
News Stories that Connect with Biblical Prophecy
By Wayne J. Edwards, March 18, 2026
My Fellow Watchmen,
The whole Bible is a book of prophecy centered around God’s divine plan for the redemption of lost man. While the Bible includes history, poetry, and law, its primary focus, from Genesis to Revelation, is to reveal the Messiah’s role in this plan. About 30% of the text is prophetic, detailing the Messiah’s coming—first as Savior to redeem, then as King to bring believers to heaven. Over 1,800 verses in both Testaments contain predictive prophecies. More than half have already been fulfilled with precision, including the restoration of Israel (Jeremiah 24:6) and the rise of nations such as Persia, suggesting that the remaining prophecies will also come to pass.
Biblical prophecy is foundational and provides comfort, sanctification, and motivation. It must be a key theme in every Bible-believing church, so believers develop a proper worldview and are protected from misconceptions. Prophetic teaching is essential, not secondary. Yet most pastors do not teach Bible prophecy, reportedly because of its controversial nature. Just as a balanced diet is vital for physical health, spiritual growth requires teaching that goes beyond common themes like salvation, relationships, and finances.
Arno Gaebelein was known as the “compassionate dispensational pre-millennialist,” and the father of educator and philosopher of Christian education Frank E. Gaebelein. Arno, a Methodist Pastor, wrote: “In our days we often hear the statement that the coming of our Lord is an unessential doctrine. Those who make such an assertion are ignorant of the fact that the blessed hope is a part of the gospel itself. Christian preaching and teaching that ignore the blessed hope, the coming of the Lord, are incomplete; they omit one of the most vital truths that the Spirit of God has linked with the gospel and with the life and service of the believer.”
Now is the time for pastors to teach the complete Word and fully equip their congregations, as they are accountable to the Lord for their teaching. In view of the current events in the Middle East, if your pastor hasn’t mentioned the imminent rapture of the Church, the Tribulation, and the return of Christ, why not?
