Living Ready for the Return of Christ

Nov 23, 2025    Mike Elrod

A hope-filled message from 1 Thessalonians 4–5 reminding believers that the return of Christ is not meant to scare us, but to steady us. Through story, Scripture, and practical application, this sermon teaches that Jesus’ return gives us a steady hope, a sure expectation, and a call to live spiritually awake. We live ready not through fear, but by faith, holiness, community, and encouragement. Communion becomes our reminder that the One who saved us will return for us.
