This past Sunday, June 7th, 2026, marked a significant day for the Global Evangelical Church as they gathered to observe Communion Sunday. The sermon, delivered by Rev. Ephraim Ameko, centered on the profound promise of Christ's return, drawing from the powerful verses of John 14:1–7. Titled "Jesus Will Come Again for Us," the message resonated deeply with the congregation, offering both comfort and a call to spiritual readiness.
The Call for Alertness and Hope
Rev. Ameko began by highlighting the importance of constant readiness in the Christian faith. He explained that Jesus intentionally withheld the exact timing of His return to prevent spiritual procrastination. Using the analogy of children rushing to clean the house only when they know their parents are arriving, the pastor emphasized that believers must maintain a state of alertness rather than waiting until the last minute. This analogy served as a poignant reminder that our spiritual lives require consistent attention and preparation.
Another key point in this section was the personalized assurance that Jesus is "preparing a place" for each believer. This promise, Rev. Ameko noted, is not a generic statement for the masses but a deeply personal one. Every believer can find hope in the knowledge that they are not forgotten and that a specific place is being prepared for them in eternity.
Understanding "The Way, The Truth, and The Life"
The heart of the sermon focused on Jesus's declaration to Thomas: "I am the way, the truth, and the life." Rev. Ameko broke this statement into three distinct pillars, each offering profound insights into the Christian faith.
The Way (The Right Destination)
Rev. Ameko explained that while people pursue various paths in life—education, business, money, and relationships—all pursuits must ultimately align with Jesus. He compared following other paths to enjoying a comfortable, highly entertaining car ride that ultimately drops you off at the wrong location. Missing the ultimate destination, he said, renders the pleasant journey wasted. This metaphor served as a powerful reminder that aligning our lives with Christ is the only way to ensure we reach our true eternal destination.
The Truth (Our Innate Longing)
The pastor then delved into the concept of truth, noting that God created humans as "truth beings." Everyone intrinsically knows there is a higher power, he explained. Even those who claim not to believe in God often seek purpose through philanthropy or "corporate social responsibility" because the truth of God's nature is woven into humanity. Acknowledging this truth, Rev. Ameko emphasized, means accepting future accountability for our actions.
The Life (The Double Blessing)
Finally, Rev. Ameko addressed the promise of life that Jesus offers. He explained that nobody naturally wants to die, and while earthly survival techniques like wealth, medicine, or strict diets may prolong life, they do not offer eternal security. Following Christ, he said, provides a "double blessing"—the assurance of a meaningful life here on earth and the guarantee of eternal life hereafter.
As the sermon drew to a close, Rev. Ameko offered a grounded warning about the temptations of the world. Using the local example of the nightlife around the "Abolo bridge," he illustrated how easily people are pulled off the right path. The sermon concluded with a heartfelt prayer and an altar call, inviting anyone who felt distracted by the world to surrender, find the "Way," and accept Jesus to secure their eternal destination.
