Pastor Jamie Self’s message, drawn from 1 Thessalonians 4:13–5:11, centers on the hope Christians have in the face of death because of the promised Second Coming of Christ. He explains that believers, as "children of the day," are called to live with active anticipation, anchored by the past work of Jesus’ death and resurrection, the current indwelling of Christ through the Holy Spirit, and the assured future return of Christ. Through the gospel's power, believers can grieve with hope, encourage one another, and live each day with the certainty of eternal life.
