Be Ready

In today's sermon, Pastor J Spurling emphasizes the importance of being prepared for Christ’s return, drawing from Matthew 24. He begins by reflecting on his childhood experiences of hosting missionaries, underscoring the significance of intentional preparation and respect for those who dedicate their lives to spreading the Gospel. As the church approaches its upcoming Missions Conference, Pastor J encourages the congregation to consider their own readiness for Jesus’s second coming, highlighting that true preparedness involves a lifelong focus on faithfulness and active engagement in God's mission, regardless of life's uncertainties.Pastor J outlines three key aspects of living with readiness: first, recognizing the uncertainty of Christ's return and maintaining an alert and faithful lifestyle; second, actively preparing by engaging in God's work daily, rather than scrambling at the last minute; and third, committing to live on mission in every season of life, whether faced with chaos or calm. By sharing personal anecdotes and biblical teachings, he inspires the congregation to embrace their role in the mission of Christ, ensuring that each day serves as an opportunity to reflect His love and purpose, ultimately preparing their hearts for His return.
