In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl launches the new series The King Has Come with a powerful exploration of the first great gift Jesus brings: hope.Turning to Luke 2 and the quiet, largely forgotten figures of Simeon and Anna, Pastor Karl paints a vivid picture of two elderly saints who spent decades waiting in faithful obscurity—praying unanswered prayers, worshiping through silence, and serving without recognition. Yet the moment a 40-day-old baby was carried into the temple, their Spirit-illuminated eyes saw what the crowds missed: the long-promised Messiah, the Consolation of Israel, the Redemption of Jerusalem.Through their story, Pastor Karl reveals that biblical hope is not wishful thinking; it is the confident, unshakable expectation of future good rooted in the unchanging character and faithfulness of God. Hope grows in the hidden soil of daily faithfulness, thrives when God chooses to work in silence, and celebrates the tiny seed because it already trusts the coming harvest. Simeon and Anna never saw Jesus preach, heal, or rise from the dead—yet they held the infant King and departed in peace, because they knew who He was long before they saw what He would do.A tender yet convicting word for everyone who has waited a long time and is still waiting, prayed a long time and is still praying, and hoped a long time and is still hoping. In a season that can feel rushed and noisy, this message calls us to slow down, stay faithful, and train our eyes to recognize the presence of the King—even when He shows up wrapped in the ordinary, the small, and the seemingly insignificant.Because the King has come, hope is not dead. It is alive, resilient, and bubbling up in every heart that keeps showing up and keeps looking for Jesus. Essential listening for anyone who needs fresh hope this Christmas.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm
They told you to wait for heaven.To look to the clouds for salvation.But what if the return of Christ was never about a man descending from the skybut about you awakening from within?This episode tears through the veil of religious conditioning and reveals the deeper truth buried beneath centuries of control:Christ was not the exception.He was the example.The cross, the resurrection, the kingdom — none of it was meant to be worshiped…It was meant to be remembered.In this powerful awakening, Q The Light exposes the forbidden message they feared the world would rediscover:that the true second coming isn't an event — it's a frequency.And that every time a human remembers who they really are… the Christ returns again.

As Christians we can tend to get fascinated in learning about the end times which is a good thing. However, we can sometimes focus on the wrong things and instead we need to know what we are to do while we are waiting for the Lord's return. Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians 3 what we are to do while we are waiting.

Matthew 24:44 calls this generation to be ready. From the United States to South Korea, from Australia to Nigeria, men and women are asking about the signs of the times and the return of Jesus Christ. This is not a message of panic but a message of hope. The return of Jesus is certain, unstoppable and nearer than ever.ContextJesus told His followers that the world would shake.

In this honest and weighty message kicking off the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Karl walks through the Beatitudes—the nine “blessed are” statements that reveal the heart attitudes Jesus demands of every true disciple. From spiritual poverty and mourning over sin to meekness, insatiable hunger for righteousness, mercy, purity of heart, peacemaking, and even rejoicing in persecution, these aren't optional extras; they're the non-negotiable “be-attitudes” that must mark every citizen of God's kingdom.When these attitudes shape us, we naturally become the salt of the earth and the light of the world—distinct from culture, preserving what is decaying, and shining so brightly that others see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. A convicting reminder that following Jesus was never meant to look like the world around us.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

The return of Jesus Christ is one of the most repeated promises in the New Testament. But what does it mean for us today—and how do we prepare? In this sermon, Pastor Ken Senchal explores the truth of the Second Coming and the rapture. Drawing from passages like Acts 1, 1 Thessalonians 4, Matthew 24, and Revelation 19, he reminds us that while no one knows the day or the hour, every believer must live ready. You'll discover: The hope and promise of Christ's return. Different views on the rapture (pre-, mid-, post-tribulation). Why the oil of the Spirit is essential for readiness. How to abide daily in Jesus and live a holy, watchful life. Listen in and be encouraged: Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is coming back!
By Craig Scott - Differences in how various premillennialist groups believe and teach about the return of Christ comes from how they understand the biblical statements about a time of tribulation that at the end of this present age.
This is a pretty amazing passage of scripture that has always been an ambiguous yet fascinating prophetic section to study in relation to End Times. I believe that this section of Daniel's prophecy is specifically written for the benefit of the generation living during the terrible Tribulation Period . In fact, verse 10 of Daniel chapter 12 says they , as believers will understand the numbers given in verses 11 and 12. I believe that these numbers tell us that there will be a 75 day interval between the Return of Christ and the beginning of the Kingdom Age to come.
When will Christ return and how will we know it? Those are the very questions that the disciples asked Jesus in Matthew 24 and today we'll look at this rich, complex and confusing passage and hope to bring some clarity to it. Join us!

Greg Morse | Jesus is coming again — soon. That transforms every aspect of life, especially your spiritual disciplines, witness, and family life.
In this episode of the For the Gospel Podcast, Costi Hinn kicks off his new eschatology series by laying a critical foundation: before we explore timelines, tribulations, or millennial positions, we must first grasp the essential truth that Christ is coming again—visibly, bodily, and in glory. This isn't a fringe belief; it is central to the Christian faith and essential for our hope, holiness, and mission.
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Thank you for joining me today and following us throughout Project 23. If you would like to learn more about this project, click the link to discover more and partner with us. Our text today is Mark 13:32-37: “But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come. It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning— lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.” — Mark 13:32-37 The final words of Jesus in this chapter are gentle. But not casual. They aren't loud commands. They're more like a whisper in the dark: “Stay awake.” He doesn't say this once—He says it three times. Not because you need more information, but because you need more awareness. Jesus doesn't tell us the day or the hour. Not because he's hiding it. But the posture of readiness is better than a countdown clock. A master has gone away. Servants have been entrusted with a task. Each one has a role. And no one knows the exact hour of return. But he is returning. And Jesus doesn't want his people found sleeping, not distracted, disinterested, or disengaged. Not lulled to sleep by comfort, busyness, or pride. He wants us awake. Alert. Tuned in. Working, watching, and ready. What does it mean to stay awake? Here are five actions: It means tending your soul. It means choosing holiness over habit. It means letting the Word sharpen you and the Spirit soften you. It means living today like it matters, because it does. It means living tomorrow like it could be your last, because it might be. Jesus isn't trying to stir anxiety. He's stirring urgency. Because when He returns—and He will return—you won't be able to hit snooze. So wake up. Get in the Word. Cut out the compromise. Live like He's near. Because He is. #StayAwake, #Mark13, #JesusIsComing ASK THIS: Why do you think Jesus repeats “stay awake” three times? What areas of your spiritual life are growing dull? What daily rhythms can help you stay alert to Jesus' return? If Jesus returned today, what would He find you doing? DO THIS: Choose one habit today that's been putting your soul to sleep—and cut it off. Replace it with something that stirs spiritual alertness. PRAY THIS: Jesus, wake me up. If I've grown numb, shake me. If I've grown lazy, correct me. I don't want to be found asleep—I want to be found faithful. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Keep Me Burning."
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Thank you for joining me today and following us throughout Project 23. If you would like to learn more about this project, click the link to discover more and partner with us. Our text today is Mark 13:24-27: "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. — Mark 13:24-27 The world will shake. The sky will go dark. The celestial order will collapse. And then, the Son comes. Not calmly in a manger. Not humbly on an ass. But in the clouds, through the sky, with power and in glory. Jesus gives his disciples a vision of the end, but not to frighten them. To focus them. Because at the end of the chaos, there is a Conquering King. He's not coming to suffer. He's coming to reign for all time. In the ancient world, clouds were often seen as symbols of divine authority and power from heaven. So when Jesus says He's coming "in the clouds," He's declaring exactly what Daniel saw centuries earlier (Daniel 7): The Son of Man receiving dominion, glory, and an eternal kingdom. When all you see is tribulation, your heart will be filled with fear. But if you, like me, fix your eyes on Jesus breaking through the clouds, you'll be filled with hope and live free from all fear. This is where the story is headed. Not endless darkness. Not endless division. Not endless waiting. The Son of God is coming again. And he's not coming to negotiate. He's not coming to debate, persuade, or die. He is coming to gather. To collect His people. To finish what He started. To make all things right. So lift your eyes. Stop getting lost in headlines. Don't be shaken by the shaking. Because one day, what you believe in faith, you'll see with your own eyes. Faith will become sight. Hope will become reality. Long live King Jesus. #ReturnOfChrist, #Mark13, #SonOfMan ASK THIS: Why do you think Jesus gives such dramatic cosmic imagery? How does this promise bring you comfort today? In what ways do you live like Jesus could return at any moment? What would you do differently if you knew He was returning tomorrow? DO THIS: When you're tempted to fear the future, speak this out loud: “Jesus is coming back—and He's bringing glory with Him.” PRAY THIS: Jesus, I place my hope in your return. When the world feels dark, remind me that your light will break through. You are coming again in power. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Even So Come."
Today's Promise: John 14:3 One of the greatest promises of scripture is the return of Christ. Jesus promised there would come a time when He would return for His followers. Since the day Jesus ascended into heaven, Christians have been looking forward to the return of Christ. Jesus said He was preparing a place for each one of us. As His follower, your dwelling place for all eternity is being perfectly designed just for you. We don't know the time, day, or even the year of His return. Our responsibility is simply to be ready.
