Living in Light of Christ’s Return (Lee Brainard)

21 minutes

The Bible tells us that Christ is coming again—so how should we live in the meantime?
Author and Bible teacher Lee Brainard (soothkeep.info) joins Sound Words to explain what true watchfulness looks like in light of the Lord’s return. From Matthew 24 to 1 Thessalonians 5, we discuss how believers can live with alertness, hope, and holiness—redeeming the time and keeping their eyes fixed on eternity.

– What it means to live in light of the believer’s future hope
