LW Baptist

LW Baptist’s Sunday worship service at 10 a.m. celebrates the blessed hope, Christ’s return. It is a topic Jesus addressed often. He said, “I go to prepare a place for you, and I will come again.”

Christian believers share this hope but differ on the timing, a matter Jesus also addressed, saying, “No one knows the day or the hour, but be ready.” During passion week, Jesus’ foretelling that not one stone would be left on another on Jerusalem’s temple mount prompted his followers questions: when and what signs will signal this event and Christ’s return and the end of the age? Jesus answered the question by saying, “Don’t be misled by false teachings, and don’t be terrified by global disturbances.” Then, regarding signs, he said to watch for his coming, to recognize that it will be sooner than people might begin to think, to keep alert, be ready, not distracted with sinful preoccupations, and to pray in anticipation.
