Homelessness in Baton Rouge is a pressing issue. Approximately 400 individuals daily were looking for a shelter bed as of September 2024. Many face food insecurity, especially on weekends. A mobile breakfast service on Sunday mornings, called the Love Your Neighbor van, fills this gap by delivering meals to various locations, ensuring sustenance when other resources are unavailable. The van also provides clothing, basic first aid care, shoes, nutrition drinks, and more to our homeless neighbors.

Life is difficult -- few of us need convincing of that. But as Christians we are not left to fear or despair. This sermon will explore the Second Coming and how Jesus’ words from Matthew 24 call us to see the world differently, not through denial or naïve optimism but with eyes wide open. Jesus calls us to stay awake and to live with the hope and love made possible by life in him.
