    The Countdown (Kingdom Builders 2026 Part 3)

    In part 3 of the Messengers series, Pastor Sawyer frames Kingdom Builders as a response to God’s end-times “countdown,” urging the church to align with God’s heart for the harvest of souls because every harvest has an expiration date. Using John 4 and John 9, he challenges the idea that there is plenty of time and calls believers to work while it is day. He teaches from Matthew 20 that Christians today are “last-hour harvesters,” chosen for urgent purpose, and it is never too late to serve, give, or pray. He emphasizes partnering financially with missions and local ministry, citing biblical support from Philippians 4 and testimonies of impact through missionaries and outreach. He ends by asking everyone to pray and commit on a giving card as God leads.00:00 Final Message Setup01:03 Harvest Has Deadline01:50 Why Kingdom Builders03:57 Make Harvest Personal04:48 Prophecy Timeline Proof08:20 Voting With Scripture10:54 Last Days Countdown12:45 Fields Ripe Today15:44 Last Hour Harvesters20:41 Chosen With Purpose22:47 Identity In Christ23:35 Church And Loneliness24:11 Last Hour Identity24:52 Chosen For Purpose25:14 Not Too Late25:34 Grandma’s Five Dollar Faith28:26 Cloud Of Witnesses30:06 Mission Partners Promise32:36 Modern Mission Stories35:26 Seeds In Everyday Life37:53 Commitment Card Moment39:16 One More Village41:57 Giving Goals And Obedience43:01 Prayer To Say Yes

    Israel, the Child, and the Dragon | End Times Events Part 9

    What does Revelation 12 reveal about Israel, Satan’s war against God’s people, and the spiritual battle unfolding behind End Times prophecy? In this Wednesday night End Times Bible study, Pastor George Sawyer takes a closer look at Revelation 12, one of the most significant prophetic chapters in the book of Revelation. Through the imagery of a woman, a great red dragon, and a male child, this passage reveals the conflict between Satan’s opposition to God’s redemptive plan and the ultimate victory of Jesus Christ. Pastor Sawyer explains why he identifies the woman as national Israel, connecting the imagery to Joseph’s dream in Genesis. He also addresses Israel’s continuing role in biblical prophecy and challenges replacement theology, emphasizing the importance of understanding God’s covenant purposes as we study the End Times. The study then turns to the great red dragon, identified in Revelation as Satan. Pastor Sawyer examines Satan’s rebellion, the fall of a third of the angels, and the spiritual conflict that has unfolded throughout history. He explains how Satan’s hatred of Israel is connected to the coming of the Messiah through the Jewish people and his continued opposition to God’s purposes. Who is the male child in Revelation 12? Pastor Sawyer presents his understanding that the child primarily represents Jesus Christ, while acknowledging another interpretation that identifies the child with the 144,000. The message explores the surrounding prophetic imagery and its relationship to the larger timeline of the Tribulation. A major turning point comes when war breaks out in heaven. Pastor Sawyer teaches that Michael and his angels will fight against the dragon, resulting in Satan being cast down to the earth. In this interpretation of the prophetic timeline, this event occurs at the midpoint of the Tribulation and intensifies Satan’s persecution of Israel. Yet Revelation 12 also declares how believers overcome: by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. Even in the face of spiritual opposition, persecution, and deception, the victory of Jesus remains the foundation of our confidence. The message also examines God’s protection of a Jewish remnant for 1,260 days and the prophetic connections Pastor Sawyer draws between Israel’s flight, refuge in the wilderness, and the region of Edom and Petra. This study of Revelation 12 reminds us that End Times prophecy is about more than identifying symbols or understanding a timeline. It points us back to the sovereignty of God, the victory of Christ, and the assurance that Satan will not have the final word. Stay grounded in Scripture. Stand firm in your faith. And remember that the victory belongs to Jesus Christ. 00:00 Why Revelation 12 Matters01:01 Three Key Entities02:29 The Woman as a Sign04:07 Genesis Dream Connection06:22 Israel in End Times12:01 Satan the Red Dragon13:55 Fallen Angels Explained15:48 The Male Child Identified17:37 Satan’s War Through History20:52 Seven Heads Ten Horns21:43 Turning to Verse Six21:44 Tribulation Timeline Reset22:30 War in Heaven Erupts23:54 Satan the Accuser28:45 Overcoming by the Cross33:04 Testimony and Bold Faith35:52 Dragon Hunts Israel38:21 Petra and Prophecy Links40:21 Closing Takeaways

    Resisting the Spirit of Antichrist | Kingdom Builders 2026 Part 2

    Are you spiritually awake, or has the enemy slowly worn down your faith, weakened your convictions, and distracted you from the work God has called you to do? In Part 2 of Kingdom Builders 2026, Pastor George Sawyer delivers an urgent message about the spirit of antichrist, the importance of spiritual vigilance, and the responsibility every believer has to reach the lost. While the Bible speaks of a coming Antichrist in the End Times, Scripture also warns that the spirit of antichrist is already at work through deception, compromise, and opposition to the truth of God’s Word. Drawing from 1 John, Daniel 7:25, Ephesians 5, and Matthew 25, Pastor Sawyer explains how the enemy seeks to wear down the saints, gradually weakening spiritual commitment until believers become distracted, complacent, and unprepared. The danger is not always an obvious rejection of God. Sometimes it begins with small compromises, neglected prayer, spiritual exhaustion, and a slow drift away from the things that once mattered most. But the Church is not called to surrender to the darkness. We are called to wake up, take our stand, and live in the power of the Holy Spirit.  Digital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new   Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving   Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/   Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer   Want to take your next step in faith? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/next  Calvary Assembly exists so that people can experience life at the highest level through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  Located at 4839 Calvary Blvd., Tanner, Alabama 35671  Two miles west of I-65 & I-565 Intersection on HWY 20  Service Times: Sundays 10AM  Contact us at (256) 355-7440 or email us at calvary@calvaryassembly.org Learn more at our website: calvaryassembly.org 00:00 Kingdom Builders Focus00:34 Who Is the Antichrist02:58 Spirit of Antichrist Today05:37 Daniel Strategy Wear Down09:27 Compromise and Temptation12:11 Living on Empty15:38 Wake Up Sleeper18:26 Harvest Time Urgency19:18 Parable of the Talents21:45 Called for Such Time23:22 Harvest Is Personal25:13 Pentecost And Harvest Power25:58 Stand Your Ground Like Shammah27:29 Voting With Prayer29:28 One Person Assignment32:45 Funding The Harvest Mission36:21 Identity And Authority In God39:42 Take A Stand And Wake Up41:15 Turn The Light On

    The Antichrist, False Prophet & Mark of the Beast | End Times Events Part 8

    What does the Bible actually say about the Antichrist, the False Prophet, and the Mark of the Beast? In this eighth message of Calvary’s Wednesday night End Times series, Pastor George Sawyer takes an in-depth look at Revelation 13 and the prophetic events surrounding the seven-year Tribulation. Through Scripture, we examine how the Antichrist rises to power, how a covenant with Israel becomes a moment of betrayal, and how the False Prophet uses signs and wonders to deceive the world and enforce the worship of the Beast. This teaching explores the biblical significance of the number 666, the role of the rebuilt temple, the deception that will characterize the Tribulation, and the events leading to the Battle of Armageddon and God's final judgment. Pastor Sawyer also explains the importance of understanding Bible prophecy within the broader context of Scripture, distinguishing essential Christian doctrines from differing interpretations of end-times events. Drawing from Revelation 13, Daniel 7 and 11, and 2 Thessalonians 2, this message presents a pre-tribulation rapture perspective on the prophetic timeline and the events that follow. In this message, you'll learn about: The identity and rise of the Antichrist The False Prophet and the power of deceptive signs and wonders The seven-year Tribulation and the covenant with Israel The significance of the abomination of desolation and the rebuilt temple The Mark of the Beast (666) and its connection to buying and selling Satan's influence over the Antichrist and the coming global deception Daniel's prophecies concerning world kingdoms and the final ruler Armageddon, the judgment of the nations, and the fulfillment of biblical prophecy Why studying the Book of Revelation matters for believers today The Book of Revelation is often misunderstood, avoided, or treated as too complicated to study. Yet Scripture offers a blessing to those who read, hear, and keep its words. As we examine these prophecies, we are reminded that God is sovereign over history and that His Word remains trustworthy. Whether you're studying biblical prophecy, exploring what the Bible says about the end times, or seeking a deeper understanding of Revelation, this message will help you connect the prophetic passages of Scripture and better understand the events leading up to Christ's return. 00:00 Setting the Stage00:52 Core Gospel Truths02:16 End Times Timeline04:29 Rapture Views Explained06:04 Why Study Revelation06:34 Revelation 13 Beast07:50 Antichrist Power and Worship10:38 Daniel Prophecy and Israel19:11 Daniel Kingdoms and Ten Kings23:23 Man of Lawlessness25:49 Antichrist Before Rapture26:53 Post Rapture Chaos29:55 Peace Deal With Israel31:29 Temple Betrayal Moment32:48 Satanic Power And Wound36:37 Testing True Miracles41:16 False Prophet Revealed43:19 Mark Of The Beast44:46 Total Surveillance Control47:20 Armageddon And Judgment49:00 Final Tribulation Wrap Up

    What Is the Lord Saying? | Guest Speaker David Raley

    What is the Lord saying to the Church today? The answer begins with a clear look at the people around us. The harvest is ripe, the need is great, and the time to reach the lost is now. In this powerful message, guest speaker David Raley challenges us to hear the voice of God, see people through His eyes, and respond to the Great Commission with renewed urgency. Drawing from Matthew 9:36–38, he reminds us that when Jesus saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion because they were weary and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd. His response was clear: the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. David Raley shares from decades of ministry and his heart for the mission of the Assemblies of God, celebrating a Pentecostal faith rooted in the Bible, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and committed to reaching people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. He also highlights the global impact of missions partnerships and ministries, including BGMC, Speed the Light, Light for the Lost, Fire Bibles, and Global University. From gospel outreach in Nigeria to ministry in Cuba and the effort to translate pastoral training courses into Vietnamese, these stories reveal how God is working through people who are willing to serve. The message also highlights the importance of equipping pastors, planting churches, supporting missionaries, and carrying the gospel into places where believers face opposition and persecution. But the call to missions is not reserved for those who travel overseas. Every believer has a part to play. God’s harvest belongs to Him, and He has entrusted His people with the responsibility to care for it faithfully. David Raley calls the Church to move beyond good intentions, recognize the spiritual needs around us, and take personal responsibility for sharing Jesus, supporting missions, praying for laborers, and obeying the Lord’s direction. Urgency must be joined with compassion, the Church cannot afford to become complacent, and our response to God must be more than words. When the Lord asks us to go, give, pray, or serve, will our answer be yes? The harvest is ripe. The workers are needed. And the Lord is still calling. What will your response be?

    The Mighty Angel, No More Delay, and the Two Witnesses | End Times Events Part 7

    What does the Bible mean when it declares, “There should be delay no longer”? And who are the two witnesses described in Revelation 11? In Part 7 of Calvary Assembly’s Wednesday night End Times Events series, Pastor Tony Willis continues the study of biblical prophecy, exploring Revelation 10 and 11, the mighty angel with the little book, the unfolding of God’s prophetic timetable, and the supernatural ministry of the two witnesses during the Tribulation. Building on the previous studies of the seven seals, trumpet judgments, and coming wrath, Pastor Willis reminds us that God is sovereign, that His warnings are an expression of His mercy, and that Scripture calls believers to share the gospel with urgency. The return of Jesus Christ is a promise we must take seriously, and the message of salvation needs to reach people while there is still opportunity. In Revelation 10, John sees a mighty angel descending from heaven, clothed with a cloud, crowned with a rainbow, and shining with extraordinary glory. Pastor Willis examines these descriptions and explains why he identifies this figure as Jesus Christ. He also unpacks the little book John is commanded to eat. It tastes sweet in his mouth but becomes bitter in his stomach, illustrating how receiving God’s Word brings both the joy of revelation and the responsibility to speak the truth. The phrase “no more delay” points to the certainty of God’s appointed timetable and the approaching fulfillment of His purposes. God is not caught off guard by world events, and His prophetic plan will unfold according to His authority. The study then moves into Revelation 11 and the two witnesses, who prophesy with supernatural power during the final three and a half years of the Tribulation. He considers their ministry, the measuring of the temple, the Antichrist’s opposition, and the witnesses’ eventual death and resurrection. He also makes the biblical case for identifying these two witnesses as Elijah and Enoch. But this study carries a message that reaches beyond prophecy charts and end-times events. Revelation reminds us that the time to obey God, tell others about Jesus, and live faithfully is now. Pastor Willis shares a powerful reminder through a personal encounter at a truck stop: God can use an ordinary moment to open a door for an eternal conversation. We must be ready to recognize those opportunities and willing to speak when the Holy Spirit leads. The question is not simply what will happen in the last days. The question is whether we are faithfully carrying the gospel to the people around us today. 00:00 Pre Trib Or Pan 01:03 Tribulation Overview 03:07 Trumpets And Warnings 04:37 Demonic Escalation 06:40 Seventh Trumpet Hope 08:21 Revelation 10 Begins 10:15 Mighty Angel Identity 10:57 Clouds Rainbow And Glory 17:47 Little Book Opened 22:28 No More Delay Explained 26:46 Time And Eternity Notes 29:56 Urgency to Witness 30:42 Truck Stop Divine Appointment 33:30 Personal Wake Up Call 36:11 Little Book Sweet Bitter 40:00 Witnessing With Jesus 42:45 Revelation 11 Shift 46:33 Measuring True Worship 49:29 Two Witnesses Purpose 51:24 Identifying the Witnesses 54:33 Elijah and Enoch Case 58:49 Death Resurrection Rapture 59:57 Final Call to Urgency

    Fourth Quarter Faith: Living With Urgency and Reaching the Lost | Kingdom Builders 2026 Part 1

    When a game enters the fourth quarter, every play matters. There is no time to coast, no room to lose focus, and every opportunity counts. What if we approached our faith with that same urgency? In this opening message of Kingdom Builders 2026, Pastor George Sawyer challenges us to live with a renewed sense of purpose in light of the return of Jesus Christ. Looking at the signs Jesus described in Scripture, including wars, earthquakes, unusual storms, shifting alliances, and rapid moral change, Pastor Sawyer calls believers to stay spiritually alert while remaining fully engaged in the mission God has given us. The goal is not to live in fear or spend our days trying to predict the future. It is to live ready. We should plan faithfully for the years ahead while remembering that Jesus could return at any moment. And until He comes, there is work to do. God’s heart is to seek and save the lost. Through the Great Commission, every believer has a part to play in bringing the gospel to the people around us and to the nations. Pastor Sawyer reminds us that heaven celebrates when the lost are found, and the Church must share that same passion for people who need Jesus. Hear stories of lives being changed in Indonesia, ministry reaching the Deaf community, wells and churches growing in Tanzania, the impact of Network 211, and the far-reaching influence of online ministry. Every testimony is a reminder that what we do together can reach people and places we may never see firsthand. So what does fourth-quarter faith look like in everyday life? It means praying for the power of the Holy Spirit, refusing to be ashamed of the gospel, looking for opportunities to share our faith, supporting the work of missions, and faithfully taking our place in God’s plan. The clock is running. The mission is clear. Every person matters. Let's live with urgency, reach the lost, and leave everything on the field for the Kingdom of God.

    The Seven Trumpets, 144,000 Sealed, and Tribulation Judgment | End Times Events Part 6

    What happens after the seven seals are opened? In Part 6 of Calvary Assembly’s Wednesday night End Times series, Pastor George Sawyer continues through the timeline of Revelation, moving from the seven seals into Revelation 7 and then into the seven trumpet judgments of Revelation 8–11. This message highlights the precision and sovereignty of God throughout prophetic history. Pastor Sawyer connects Jeremiah’s 70-year prophecy and Daniel’s 70 weeks to the larger End Times timeline, explaining the Church Age, the Rapture, and the seven-year Tribulation. As this prophetic period unfolds, the study examines God’s dealings with Israel, His judgment of the nations, and the consequences of humanity’s continued rebellion. Revelation 7 provides an important parenthetical look at people who are saved during the Tribulation. Pastor Sawyer explains the 144,000 sealed Jewish servants, 12,000 from each of the tribes listed in the passage, and the great multitude from every nation who come out of the Great Tribulation. The study then moves into Revelation 8 and 9, where the seven trumpet judgments begin. These judgments escalate in intensity while demonstrating remarkable limitation and precision, with many of the judgments affecting a third of the earth, sea, waters, and heavenly bodies. The message walks through the destruction brought by the first four trumpets, the darkness and supernatural devastation that follow, the opening of the abyss during the fifth trumpet, and the release of bound angels connected to a massive army in the sixth trumpet. Yet even in the midst of extraordinary judgment, Scripture records a sobering truth: many people still refuse to repent. The seventh trumpet in Revelation 11 announces the coming reign of God and points toward an intensification of judgment. Pastor Sawyer also addresses the prophetic picture of the Antichrist turning against Israel in the middle of the Tribulation. This study of Revelation is ultimately a reminder that God’s prophetic timeline is not random or uncertain. He knows the beginning from the end, His timetable is fixed, and His purposes will be accomplished. As we study the seven seals, seven trumpets, 144,000, Tribulation, Antichrist, Daniel’s 70th week, and the return of Jesus Christ, the call for believers remains the same: stay awake, remain faithful, and be ready for the Lord Himself to come.
