First Cary UMC's First on Chatham Sermon "Rejoice Always, Pray Without Ceasing, Give Thanks In All Circumstances” –  Rev. Kollin Absher-Baer – May 4, 2025

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Like the disciples, we may feel that there are seasons when God feels far away or absent all together. Even so, we are invited to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in the midst of all of it. As the Apostle Paul writes this to the people of Thessalonica, he is encouraging them to trust in the goodness of God’s promise and presence all of the days of our lives. As we celebrate Confirmation Sunday in the life of our church, may we look to the example of our Youth who have done this very task. Over the last year they have rejoiced, prayed, and given thanks - and have answered God’s call to faithfully join the church. We certainly give thanks for all that is to come!
