Trending Season 4: The Rapture | Pastor Ed Newton | CBC

About this sermon

Jesus is coming again. Scripture is clear on that promise. What remains unknown is the day and the hour. The real question is not when Christ will return, but are we ready? In The King Is Coming, we turn to Revelation 22:20 and walk through the Bible’s teaching on the return of Jesus Christ. From His own words in John 14 to the prophetic vision of Revelation, this message unpacks what believers can know with certainty about the second coming, the rapture, the tribulation, the final judgment, and the restoration of all things. This teaching explores why the return of Christ is visible, purposeful, and unavoidable. Jesus is not returning quietly or symbolically. Scripture tells us every eye will see Him. His return brings justice for evil, redemption for the saints, and the final defeat of Satan. The message also clarifies why Scripture presents Christ’s return as a motivation for faithfulness, holiness, urgency, and hope rather than fear or speculation. We also examine the signs Jesus said would mark the last days, including global instability, moral decline, persecution of the gospel, spiritual deception, and prophetic events connected to Israel and the nations. These signs are not meant to produce anxiety or obsession, but readiness and trust in God’s sovereignty. Jesus warned against setting dates, yet He repeatedly called His followers to stay awake, stay faithful, and stay prepared. The return of Christ should shape how we live, how we love, how we worship, and how we share the gospel. The King is coming. The promise is sure. The invitation is clear. The question remains: are you ready? We are Community Bible Church located in San Antonio, Texas.
