Remembering the first Advent of Christ should make us consider His return. This week, as we think about living intentionally in a new year, we consider living in light of the reality of the return of Christ.

In Luke 17:20-18:8 Jesus speaks about His return. We learn that:
  1. His Return Will Be UNPREDICTABLE (17:20-21)
  2. His Return Will Be UNMISTAKABLE (17:22-25)
  3. His Return Will Be UNANTICIPATED (17:26-30)
  4. His Return Will Be UNAVOIDABLE (17:31-35)
  5. His Return Will Be UNIVERSAL (17:37)
In light of this, Jesus tells a parable that we may persevere as we await His return. The point is that when He returns He finds us faithful. As a church family, we have agreed that this faith can be demonstrated through our core values.
Will He find you living in AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY?
Will He find you living out a life of service in WORSHIP & BEAUTY?
Will He find you living a life based on His TRUTH & MEANING?
Will He find you living on a MISSIONAL JOURNEY?

ARE YOU READY?
