Looking for That Blessed Hope

In this sermon, Pastor Steve Baker focuses on the certainty and imminence of Christ's second coming, emphasizing that believers should live with expectant hope while maintaining godly conduct in these last days. He explores the two-part nature of Christ's return—first the rapture of the church, then His revelation as King of Kings. Drawing heavily from Thessalonian and Corinthian passages, this message reassures believers that death is not final for those in Christ, as they will receive glorified, incorruptible bodies at the resurrection. Christians should not grieve as those without hope, but rather live with joyful anticipation of reunion with departed loved ones and transformation into Christ's likeness.
