In this powerful episode of the TBA Church Podcast, Pastor Bryan Stiverson explores the biblical concept of 'waiting' and the profound hope found in the second coming of Jesus Christ. Drawing from personal anecdotes and Scripture, he contrasts passive waiting with the active, joyful anticipation that defines the Christian life. He emphasizes that as believers, we are not merely spectators of history but participants in a divine timeline, living in the 'end times' since Christ's first coming. The sermon unpacks the purpose of prophecy—not to fuel fear or obsession, but to inspire spiritual urgency and faithful living. Stiverson addresses common misconceptions about end times, including the rapture, and explains key eschatological views—dispensational premillennialism, historical premillennialism, and amillennialism—while affirming that all agree on one central truth: Jesus will return. He calls the church to wake up, live boldly, purely, and faithfully, recognizing that every conversation, choice, and moment matters in light of eternity. The message culminates in a heartfelt invitation to non-believers to accept salvation and a challenge to believers to examine their lives and live with eternal purpose.
Biblical waiting is active, hopeful, and urgent—not passive or fearful.
The second coming of Christ is our blessed hope and the central focus of Christian faith.
Prophecy is not about predicting the future but about fueling spiritual urgency and evangelism.
All major eschatological views agree on Christ’s return—disagreements are about timing, not the core truth.
The rapture (harpazo) is not a doctrine of a specific system but a biblical reality: believers will be caught up to meet Christ in the air.

The Rapture: What It Is and What It Isn't
“The debate among Christians is not whether what harpazo means or if it even happens. The debate is when does it happen?”
