2 Thessalonians 1:1–4, 11–12 What We Must Hold On To This is the first Sunday of November, the Sunday when Daylight Saving Time ends and everything starts one hour later.

Luke 18:1–8 "Unwavering Faith" Today's passage centers on prayer, yet I chose the title "Faith." Why? Because as we explore this text, we discover the profound connection between prayer and faith. I recently returned safely from a two-week trip to Korea. With medical appointments scheduled in advance, I spent much of my time traveling between clinics—for dental work, health screenings, and follow-up visits. While receiving treatment, I was deeply impressed by the excellence o
