Good Morning. Good Morning my brothers and my sisters and welcome to Turning On the Lights for Tuesday November 4, 2025. Today I talk about some things that are annoying me , but we spend most of our time talking about the parable of the wicked farmer as written in Mark chapter 12. Jesus as judge? Many "Christians" do not want you to hear about that, but it is true. Are you covered by the blood? Are you wearing the garb of the wedding banquet? The only way that you can be is through repentance and submission to the Messiah. may God bless you and we will talk to you Thursday on Turning On the Lights!
