As we look forward to his coming, let's prepare our hearts for his return with love and celebration. Verse Thessalonians chapter three, verses 11 through 13 says, now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you. And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all as we do for you, so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints, Jesus is coming back again. He will return in victory as Lord and king.
Speaker 0 00:01:06 So how do we prepare for this? By loving others, treating them with hospitality, using the gifts that God has entrusted to us. And as we do this, our God, our king will strengthen our hearts For that great day, pray with me, Lord, an expectation of your coming. Help us to love people and treat them so well that it shines the bright light of God's love to them. May our communities experience the hope of the coming king that we as followers of Christ, carry and radiate, Lord, help us as your people to be prayerful and to really love others as you've commanded, as a way to prepare for your coming. Amen.
