Day 3: Signs of the Times
Five-day devotional based on the message, "Don't Worry, Be Ready" by Senior Pastor Jeff Maness on May 4, 2025. Click here to watch the video.
Devotional
As we delve deeper into the teachings of Jesus about His return, we learn that the signs are not meant to frighten us, but to prepare us. Just as the signs of the end times are described in vivid detail, they serve to remind us of the certainty and imminence of His return. Rather than being consumed by fear or speculation, we are called to observe these signs as reminders of our need for readiness and faithfulness. By keeping our eyes on Jesus and His promises, we can navigate these times with hope and confidence.
Bible Verse
“And then at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth.” — Matthew 24:30
Reflection Question
What current events or personal experiences remind you of the signs Jesus spoke about, and how do they encourage you to be ready for His return?
Sermon Quote
“Knowing when Jesus returns is not as important as being ready for His return.”
Prayer
Gracious God, open my eyes to see the signs of Your promise and return. Fill my heart with peace and hope, so I may live each day in anticipation of Your coming. Strengthen my faith and guide me to fulfill Your purpose for me until that glorious day. Amen.
