Pastor Jamie Self uses an analogy of house maintenance to illustrate how we can become blind to spiritual neglect in our lives. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10, he emphasized the transformation of the Thessalonian church, who turned from idols to serve the living and true God and to await Christ’s return. The sermon challenged believers to examine their allegiances, recognize modern idolatry, and anticipate Jesus' return, ensuring that their faith is active, fruitful, and centered on God's kingdom rather than worldly pursuits.
