What if you knew that Jesus was returning this week? How would you live these final days on Earth? Though we don't know the exact moment of Jesus' return, we can see the warning signs, and be ready. In 1 Thessalonians 5, the Apostle Paul encourages the Thessalonian believers to remain alert, and not to be afraid, remaining confident in Jesus' salvation and His return.

On Guard and On Task: Living Rapture Ready

April 21, 2024 • Pastor Larry Hasmatali • 2 Thessalonians 3:6–15

Over the centuries, including the first century, believers have made the imminent return of Christ into an excuse to be lazy and disruptive. Yet how much more, Paul says, should Jesus' return find us working hard and remaining on guard? So let's continue to actively participate in God's unfolding plan of redemption, ensuring our approach to work mirrors our devotion to God.

Unshaken

April 7, 2024 • Pastor Larry Hasmatali • 2 Thessalonians 2:1–15

Have you ever believed something, only to find out later that it wasn't true? The Thessalonians had been deceived into believing that Jesus had already returned, and they were shaken. The Apostle Paul writes 2 Thessalonians to correct them, identifying the signs they are to look for at the end of the age and to stand firm in the Lord. As deception and chaos continue to shake our world today, let's encourage each other to stand firm in Jesus.

Courage in Chaos

March 10, 2024 • Pastor Larry Hasmatali • 2 Thessalonians 1:1–10

Most would agree we are living in the most stressful period in human history, and that the world can't go on much longer. Yet as the church under Jesus Christ, unified with the One who is in control of it all, we can have hope, peace, and the courage to share His message with an anxious and dying world.
