https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/ece-devotions/20251124ECME.mp3 Listen to Devotion You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. Luke 12:40 Are You Ready Are you ready? Company is coming for dinner. You're excited but you'd like just a bit more time to make sure everything is set. The children will start arriving soon, and you could use another few minutes to make sure you are ready to give them your full attention. Are you ready? You and I like the comfort of knowing what's coming and how much time until a given event, an appointment, a diagnosis, an answer. How often do we wish that God would let us have even a glimpse of when a situation might be resolved? The challenge of waiting is seldom easy. Being prepared can give us patience as we wait. Are you ready? Not for the test or an appointment, but for Jesus. Are you ready for his return on Judgment Day? He certainly is coming. He told his disciples in John 14:3, “I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” He is indeed coming back. But there's one detail that we don't have—when Jesus is coming. All Jesus tells us is, “You also must be ready” (Luke 12:40). The greatest event for which we wait is Christ's return on Judgment Day. This will be an event beyond our imagination and expectations. We can slip into thinking that if we knew when this would all be over, we could endure whatever challenge or crisis we're facing. In his wisdom, God chose not to let us in on this detail. The Bible is clear that no one knows the day or the hour. Jesus told his disciples, “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father” (Matthew 24:36). So, what are we to do? God is clear: be ready! Expect that Jesus could return at any time. It could be today, next week, in 20 years, or in 1000 years. We don't know. So, how can we be ready? Our dear Savior points us to the Word. As we continue to be in the Word, we learn about our God. When we are faithful in prayer and worship, we focus our hearts on what is to come, even if we do not know when. A colleague of mine once said, “If you knew that Judgment Day was next week or even next month, what might you do differently? How would the urgency of sharing the Gospel increase? How might your time in God's Word be richer and more focused?” As we focus on God's Word, we can look forward to Judgment Day with eager anticipation. That's because Scripture makes us confident in what that day will bring. We can pray, “Amen! Come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20). Prayer: Dear Jesus, I want to be ready for your return. Life on earth can be such a distraction from you. Help me to focus on you and to be excited and eager to be in the Word you have given us. Help me to pray with confidence, “Come, Lord Jesus!” Amen. Christian Worship 850: 1, 4 It Is Well with My Soul and 868 By Faith are both wonderful hymns to add to your devotions this week.

When life feels impossible, FAITH changes everything. In this message, we see how Deborah and Barak's obedience put Sisera's army on the run, how prophets raised the dead through bold faith, and how believers throughout history stood strong in persecution. Whatever enemy you're facing—fear, shame, addiction, division—BY FAITH you can overcome. Hebrews 11 reminds us: without faith it is impossible to please God. But with faith, nothing is impossible.

Faith that Provides a FoundationSeries: Hebrews 11: By Faith Preacher: David CourtSunday EveningDate: 31st August 2025Passage: Hebrews 10:32-11:3
WHAT IS FAITH? Faith is dependence. Faith is assurance. Faith is conviction. BY FAITH... The church is commended. (11.2, 39)The world is comprehended. (11.3)The better reality will be forever consummated. (11.40)
People who move BY FAITH let God speak, listen to what God says and then do what God says. Sounds simple, but so few do ti. That's not the story of the prophets or the lead prophets to a generation of prophets, Samuel. His obedience ushered in an era where the rare became regular. Lean into this work today and profit from the prophets who moved, BY FAITH.
Faith is like a muscle... it needs to be developed. In this sermon, we discover how to defeat any and every giant in our life, but letting our faith develop in unseen places. Lean in. Listen close. Let's defeat every giant, BY FAITH.
Pastor Mark wraps up our "By Faith" series in Hebrews 11 with a focus on verses 34-40. Between infertility, poverty, anxiety, disability, loneliness, sickness, persecution, depression, a difficult divorce, a debilitating disease, a tragic death, he sums up the passage with this: Life is unfair, then we die. We may not get all the answers we want in difficult circumstances but regardless we look to Christ who persevered through suffering for the joy set before him. Therefore we ought to, "Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."

BY FAITH, an overlooked and often misunderstood man didn't allow his past to determine his future, let God use his talents and kept his vow to God even though the price on that was greater than he could have ever imagined. If you've ever needed encouragement wrapped in a challenge... catch this world and walk it out, BY FAITH.
Few people have had a more conflicted relationship with their calling than Samson. Called by God before he was born, yet spent most all of his life without the devotion that his vow should have incited. However, in his lowest moment, he still believed grace and mercy were available to him, BY FAITH. For all of us, today, let God grow in you the faith to trust Him again, after you failed Him.
Often unfamiliar, but listed in the hall of faith... that's the story of Barak who filled the role that God had him to fill, BY FAITH. In this powerful sermon, you'll discover how to respond to the call of God on your life, cause we're all called, and move BY FAITH to answer, believe and follow His call.
From the archives - it's the best of “Navigating through Change” podcast - summer edition:How did the Israelites handle the many obstacles they faced in the wilderness? Hebrews 11:30 says, “By FAITH the walls of Jericho fell...” In today's devotion, Gene shares that when you're navigating change, you've got to live by faith -- moment by moment.
Fear is gonna tell you not to make the move that must be made BY FAITH, but as people who move by faith, we must learn how to move by faith, even when we're afraid, forgetting who we think we are and believing who God says we are. Tap in to this latest sermon and move, BY FAITH.
The stories of the heroes and heroines of the faith took an interesting turn with our latest example of faith, Rahab. Her whole record throughout the Scriptures comes with a shameful part of her reality... but that didn't define her forever. Lean in to this sermon and move, like Rahab, BY FAITH.
The post By Faith appeared first on Living Fellowship.
We need a faith that moves, even with impossible odds, to take hold of all God has for us, BY FAITH. Lean in as Brandon Rodgers shares with us in this special installment of BY FAITH.
The hall of faith wouldn't be complete without the greatest leader Israel ever knew... Moses. The boldness of his faith, foundationally, not only changed his life but should call us forward to live boldly, for God, by faith. Tap in today and get the faith you need to choose boldly the only way you can, BY FAITH.
