Be Prepared
1 Thessalonians 5:1-8

There are many things in life that we need to be prepared for, but the most important is to be ready for Christ’s return. We need to live as if Christ is coming today. We say that Jesus is coming soon and that we are ready, but do we really live in the expectation and excitement that it could be today?

Refuse to be brought under the control of anything
Protect your mind and your heart
