We are living in the in between. The days after Christmas and before the new year feel strange, but they reflect a deeper reality. We live in a broken world that Jesus has already begun to restore yet not fully completed. Until He returns, we are called to live faithfully in the normal moments, not knowing the timing but trusting His promise.

Jesus teaches us to live ready and engaged. Like the faithful servant in Matthew 24, we wait by pursuing God wholeheartedly, seeking unity with one another, and boldly sharing the gospel. Following God leads to life, unity shows a healing world, and proclaiming Jesus invites others into the grace we have received.

In the waiting, we also learn to pause. Slowing down helps us reconnect with God, evaluate our hearts, and remember where our lives are headed. This season reminds us that faith is often lived between themes, between peaks and valleys, faithfully walking with Jesus every step of the journey.

If you are navigating the in-between of life, we invite you to join us this Sunday. Come as you are, find hope, and learn what it looks like to live faithfully in the normal while we wait for Christ together.
