To be marveled
On this blazing hot day in California, as I sat on my sofa reading my Bible, suddenly the words leaped off the pages of 2 Thessalonians 1:8-10 with a powerful clarity. It struck me deeply—how many people are still lost in darkness, refusing to turn to God, and even harboring hatred toward Him. Yet, for those of us who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, there is a hope that surpasses this world’s fleeting promises. We have a future anchored in His eternal glory—a hope we can depend on no matter what we face.
Paul’s words in verse 10 ignite a flame within: "When He comes to be glorified by His saints and to be marveled at by all who have believed, because our testimony among you was believed." Wow! What a breathtaking vision—an image of that glorious day when Christ returns, and we see Him face to face. I’ve experienced moments where God’s timely intervention left me in awe, speechless at His mighty power and grace. Those moments of marveling are just a glimpse of the incredible joy and emotion we will feel when we finally behold our Savior in His full glory.
Today, wherever you are, take a moment to breathe deeply. Invite God to fill your heart with His wisdom, His joy, and the unshakable hope that is found only in Him. Give Him thanks for His faithfulness—both in your life and in the promise of what’s to come. I know some are facing difficult challenges, but remember: our Heavenly Father is in control every step of the way. Let us marvel at what He has already done in our lives and fix our eyes on the finish line—the day we will see Him face to face. Amen.

More relevant than ever. Every day I look at the news and wonder… how long until Jesus returns? I’m ready, you may be ready, but we need to add a measure of urgency to everything we’re doing to awaken the masses. Thank you Pastor Casey.
AMEN - GOD IS TRUE JOY, HAPPINESS, AND LOVE. Cannot have those if you don’t have faith.
