"Until He Comes," Part 4 with Pastor Chad Stuart - August 29, 2026

Until He Comes

In this message from Matthew 25, Chad Stuart shows that waiting for Jesus’ return is never meant to be passive; readiness is revealed through faithful action. He teaches that every believer has been entrusted with talents—gifts, opportunities, time, influence, and resources—to use for God’s glory and for the good of others. The challenge is not to compare what we have with someone else, but to receive what Christ has given us and invest it with courage and love. Chad’s sermon matters because it calls listeners to a living faith that reflects a converted heart, one that is actively serving until Jesus comes.

Why We Do Hard Things

In this sermon, Chad Stuart shows that Christians do hard things for one reason: so others may come to salvation in Jesus Christ. Drawing from his own marathon training and the church’s sacrifices to build a school and now a church, he reminds listeners that pain, patience, and perseverance are worthwhile when they serve a bigger eternal purpose. He connects that call to Paul’s willingness to suffer for the gospel and to Caleb and Joshua’s courage in the face of fear, challenging the church to become disciple-makers, not just church-builders. The message matters because it reframes present sacrifices and personal suffering as opportunities for witness, anchored in Jesus’ promise, “I am with you always.”

Take a Seat

In this sermon, Erwin Nanasi uses the image of being seated to ask a searching question: where do we place our attention, our allegiance, and our hearts? Drawing from Isaiah 55, Psalm 1, Mark 6, and the throne room scene in Revelation, he shows that our posture shapes our worship, and that settling into the wrong influences can slowly dull our obedience to God. Yet the heart of the message is grace: Jesus has already done the work, is seated in victory at the right hand of the Father, and invites us to be seated with Him in acceptance rather than performance. This sermon matters because it calls listeners to examine what - and who - is sitting on the throne of their lives, and to respond to God’s invitation to come, listen, and live fully for Him.

Living Holy, Living Wholly

In this message, Chad Stuart reminds believers that the body is not a disposable shell or private possession, but the temple of the Holy Spirit, bought by the price of Christ’s cross. He shows how Scripture refuses to separate spiritual life from physical life, calling disciples to love God with their strength as well as their hearts and minds. Rather than laying down harsh rules, he invites listeners to respond to Jesus’ love by honoring their bodies through wise, grace-filled habits that support wholeness. The challenge is simple but weighty: if God owns us completely, then caring for our bodies becomes an act of worship and a practical expression of discipleship.
