An Invitation to Worship This Week
Christ the King Sunday
November 30, 2025
10:30 a.m.
Isaiah forecasts God’s promise of a future peace for the whole world. Swords are beaten into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks. God judges between nations and arbitrates for many people who will put down their weapons and no longer prepare for war with each other.
Matthew’s gospel urges followers of Jesus to stay awake to be prepared for the Parousia, a Greek word meaning "presence" or "arrival.” Parousia refers specifically to the second coming of Christ.
You and I live in the in-between time. Ours is the time between Christ’s being here and his coming again. We are to STAY AWAKE and BE READY for the arrival of Jesus and the new age.
Sadly, we are affected by the narcolepsy of our faith. We can’t seem to stay awake. How do we regain and retain our urgency for being awake? How do we make a difference in the lives of others? How do we actively wait? Is it possible that God could bring peace throughout the world? Could we ever trust God enough to put down our weapons and trust each other?
We hope you’ll join us this Sunday for 10:30 a.m. Worship.
