Change is an inevitable part of the Christian life, and as a resurrected people, we are continually being transformed in and through Christ.
Stephen encourages us to rejoice in the Lord, pray with humility, and trust in God's unchanging nature, even in the midst of uncertainty and transition.
For the graduating students, Stephen reminds them that the gifts and relationships God has given them are meant to be used to bring healing, hope, and peace to the world. The church community is rooting for them, praying for them, and sending them with the peace of Christ, which they claim and know through their weekly worship of God.
