In a world of discouragement and distraction, Dr. Bryan Stensaas preaches from 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 that believers must “stand out till the shout”. Don’t quit, slow down, or blend in; the Rapture ends the Church Age with victory, not defeat. Live expectantly: witness boldly, serve faithfully, and stay holy because the same Jesus who ascended is coming back soon. Powerful New Year’s charge to live ready and distinct until Christ calls us home.
