Warning Signs

Given by Pat Sinon

March 22, 2025

This message uses the illustration of warning signs, particularly the “check engine” light, to emphasize the importance of not ignoring warnings—both physical and spiritual. Many people treat such warnings as mere suggestions, leading to avoidable damage or consequences, like costly car repairs. Spiritually, similar principles apply. Before Passover, Paul’s admonition in 1 Corinthians 11 is highlighted, urging self-examination to avoid taking the Passover in an unworthy manner. The message stresses that self-examination is not a suggestion but a warning, prompting believers to reflect on their spiritual condition, relationships, attitudes, and progress. They emphasize the importance of aligning with God’s standard—loving God and neighbor—and note that self-awareness leads to stronger relationships with God and others. Through stories, of perseverance, and scriptures from both Old and New Testaments, the message encourages resilience, patience, and continual effort in spiritual growth. Ultimately, the message calls for treating warnings seriously, making necessary changes, and enduring life’s challenges with faith and commitment, trusting in God’s guidance.
