We focus on being sober and watchful for Christ’s return, comforting each other with this hope. Just as finding Jesus brings comfort about loved ones who’ve died, we’re reminded that Jesus is coming back, bringing judgment that’s a blessing for believers. We shouldn’t be ignorant about those who’ve died in faith; our sorrow has hope […]

Waiting is part of life, but how we wait matters. As Christians, we are waiting for Jesus to return, just as farmers wait for the rain.

Jesus feeds 5,000 people, and the crowd is amazed. They follow Him, hoping for more food and miracles. But when they find Him, Jesus challenges them. “You’re looking for me because you ate the bread, not because you understand who I am.” He tells them not to chase after food that perishes but to seek […]

Sonny reminds us that being a Christian is about more than just believing—it’s about living together as brothers and sisters in Christ. Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 2 and 3, describes how he ministers to the church—not as someone above them, but as a loving brother, a gentle mother, and a caring father. He pours out […]
