Hope For The Future

This powerful message centers on the profound truth that Jesus Christ is the King of Glory—a theme that pierces through the darkness of our current times with brilliant light. Drawing from Hebrews 1, we're reminded that Jesus is not just another spiritual figure, but the radiance of God's glory itself, the exact expression of His nature, sustaining all things by His powerful word. The message challenges us to recognize that no matter what darkness surrounds us—whether in our families, our nation, or the world—God's glory shines exponentially brighter. We're invited to understand that sitting in darkness without reaching for the light allows fear to overtake us, but when we embrace our identity as children of God, we carry His glory wherever we go. The sermon emphasizes that we are equipped as warriors and kings to project the Kingdom of God, saturated with His mercy and grace. We're called to position ourselves through worship, prayer, and His Word—not as transactions, but as postures of surrender that allow us to receive freely what God offers. The illustration of the ten virgins reminds us that preparation isn't about separation from the world, but about maintaining our oil supply through intentional proximity to God. This isn't a message of fear about end times, but one of encouragement: we are drenched in mercy, sealed by truth, and called to broadcast God's glorious wonders throughout the world.
