Sermon: The Waiting Room

Matthew 25:1–13 | Fourth Sunday in Lent | March 15, 2015 | First Christian Church | Dennis Sanders, preaching

“God wants us to be faithful to God, to make disciples, to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick and visit those in prison. Part of being prepared for Christ’s coming is to be about doing God’s work while we wait. God is coming and being prepared means learning to follow Christ in all that we do.”
