In our Traditional message from October 5, 2025, Andy shares with us from 1 Timothy 6:3-10. Wesley told the early Methodists to "earn all you can, save all you can, and give all you can." Our budget is our greatest theological statement.

Jesus’ parable reminds us that we’re accountable for what we know, and that “to whom much has been given, much will be required.” We don’t have to figure out every mystery of God, but we are called to live out the simple, clear commands: love God, love neighbor, forgive, and care for those in need. Leadership adds even more responsibility, which is why the local church matters—it keeps us grounded, accountable, and faithful. At the end of the day, faith isn’t about overcomplicating things; it’s about being faithful to what we already know and living it out with love.

Jesus reminds us to stay ready because no one knows the hour of his return. We’ve all seen predictions come and go—rapture dates, doomsday calendars, TikTok prophets—but that’s not the point. The point is to live every day expecting him, not trying to guess when. If we really believe he’s coming again, then we can live with hope instead of fear, and we can focus on the simple but powerful work of loving God and loving people right now. The best way to be ready is to stay faithful today.
