As we step into March, we continue walking in our 1st Quarter of 2026 theme: The Coming of the Kingdom of God. In January, we focused on adding in spiritual resolutions for 2026 in addition to those usual physical ones. Suggestions were praying first, being rooted in scripture and extending grace to those you cross paths with. In February, we leaned into what it means to live as Kingdom citizens here and now—faithful, surrendered, and rooted in hope.
Now, with just 4½ weeks until Easter, we are on the homestretch of the road to resurrection.
This month, our journey brings us to Gospel of Luke 21:5–38. In this powerful passage, Jesus speaks of wars, turmoil, persecution, and cosmic signs—reminding His followers not to panic, but to watch, pray, and live ready. His words were not meant to stir fear, but faithfulness.
As headlines fill with reports of escalating conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran, many believers are asking important questions. Jesus told us that wars and rumors of wars would mark this age. These realities do not surprise God. They do not derail His Kingdom. They remind us that we live in the “already and not yet”—Christ reigns, and yet we await the full consummation of His reign.
Jesus’ command in Luke 21 is clear:
Do not be terrified. Stand firm. Watch yourselves. Stay awake. Pray for strength.
The call is not to speculation but to preparation. Not to anxiety, but to endurance. Not to obsession with signs, but to steadfast proclamation of the gospel.
As we move toward Easter, let us be a church that lives ready—ready to serve, ready to forgive, ready to witness, ready to worship. The resurrection we celebrate in April is not only a past event; it is our future hope. Because He rose, the Kingdom has come. Because He is coming again, the Kingdom will come in fullness.
Let us fix our eyes on Christ, live with holy expectancy, and walk faithfully together on this road to resurrection.
With hope in the King,
Pastor Ronnie
