May 8 – Ready for His Return

In today’s episode, Pastor Cory Barnes shares a devotion from Matthew 25, where Jesus continues teaching His disciples about the end of the age through a series of sobering parables and illustrations. Again and again, Jesus emphasizes the importance of remaining faithful, prepared, and actively engaged in the work of His kingdom. This message reminds listeners that following Jesus is not simply about receiving salvation, but about living each day in faithful obedience and love toward others. Through caring for the hurting, serving those in need, and stewarding what God has entrusted to us, we demonstrate our love for Christ Himself. As we live with eternity in mind, we are encouraged to take our next step of obedience and pursue a life that will one day hear the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”Today’s Reading:May 8 – 1 Kings 12; 2 Chronicles 10–11; Matthew 25
