Look Up. Stay Ready. - LIFEGATE DENVER SERMONS

What this episode covers

In this sermon on Joel 1, we confront the urgent call to repentance, awakening, and readiness for the Day of the Lord. Joel’s vision of the locust plague reveals how sin slowly destroys joy, identity, and intimacy with God. In an age of spiritual complacency, this message reminds us: God’s judgment is real, but His grace is near. Jesus is not a tame figure—He is the righteous King who calls us to mourn, fast, and return to Him. This series challenges us to look up, stay ready, and seek true joy in Christ alone as we await His return
