Pastor David continues "The Final Countdown" with the events that Jesus prophesied would happen leading up to the return of Christ and the tribulation to follow. In the scriptures Jesus described in detail the antichrist and the false prophet that would rise up in the end days to distract people from following the one true God. As believers we should be encouraged to long for the return of Christ and keep our eyes focused on Him because when Christ comes, He comes on a white horse with the armies of heaven behind Him!

Jesus reminds his followers to stay alert for no one knows when the coming of the Lord will be. Pastor David encourages us to remain vigilant as we wait for the Lord, and not to lust after the things of this world as they are all fleeting.

As Jesus was preparing for the end of his time here on earth he warned the disciples of things to come. He described for them events that would take place from earthquakes to famines, wars and false prophets. Dive into Matthew 24 with us as we recognize the events that God prophesied would happen and learn how we as believers can handle these trying times.

Pastor David kicks off a new series of messages looking at how to live with confidence in the "last days". The rapture is the next main event on God's prophetic calendar where Jesus fulfills his prophecy from John 14 that he is preparing a place for us and will return to take us home with him when the time is right. Paul shares with the believers in Thessalonica what this event will look like and what we can look forward to as followers of Christ.
