This week we look at Joseph’s story in Matthew 1 and discover

how God’s unexpected plans often lead to His greatest purposes. When

life doesn’t make sense, God is still working. Join us as we learn to

trust His perfect plan—especially in the moments that stretch our

faith.

As we wait for Christ’s return, we are called to faithful, diligent, and prayerful living.

What does it mean to live ready for Christ’s return? Paul reminds us that Jesus will come unexpectedly, calling believers to stay spiritually awake and alert. As children of the light, we are called to live with faith, love, and hope—reflecting God’s truth in a world of darkness.

The return of Christ gives us hope and comfort in the face of grief and uncertainty.

Introduction: Offer hope to those grieving or struggling by focusing on the promises of

Christ’s return.

In Light of Christ's return, we are called to live in a way that pleases God.

The coming of Christ calls us to a faith that works, a love that labors, and a hope that endures.

The wilderness we are in is temporary. One day God will restore and renew His creation. We have the ultimate hope through Christ Jesus.

The wilderness is where God prepares us to step into His promises with courage and faith.
