How to Stay Awake, Alert, and Anchored Until Christ Returns
What if Jesus returned tonight—would you be ready?
In this powerful message titled "Awake and Ready: Living in the Light of Christ’s Return," we explore 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11 and what it means to live with urgency, clarity, and hope in these last days.
Written around AD 52, Paul’s letter urges believers not to speculate about the timeline of Christ’s return but to live in the light of it—awake, alert, armored, and anchored in gospel truth.
🔑 BIG IDEA: Since we are children of the day, we are called to live awake, alert, and armored—ready for Christ’s return and rooted in gospel hope.
Join us as we answer:
✅ What does it really mean to "stay awake" spiritually?
✅ How should we live as people who belong to the day?
✅ Why does our hope in Christ change how we view the future?
Whether you’re new to the faith or have walked with Jesus for years, this message will equip and encourage you to live in the light of that Day.
