January 4, 2026 – Christmas Sermon #5: The Second Advent | Various Passages Baptist Bible Church, Sparta MI

Christmas doesn’t only look back—it also looks forward. While we rightly celebrate Jesus’ first coming in humility, Scripture calls us to fix our hope on His glorious return. In this sermon, we explore five major Old Testament prophecies that will be fully and finally fulfilled at the Second Advent of Christ. From a literal earthly kingdom ruled by the Son of David, to the restoration of Israel, global righteousness, renewed creation, and worldwide worship, God’s promises resound with certainty and hope.This message reminds us that history is moving toward Christ’s reign, where justice will be perfect, peace will be real, and God’s glory will fill the earth. The Second Advent is not symbolic or distant—it is personal, physical, and powerful. As believers, this future shapes how we live, wait, and worship today.Key Takeaways:Jesus will return to rule as King over an eternal kingdom (2 Samuel 7; Daniel 2; Revelation 19)God’s covenant promises to Israel will be fulfilled (Romans 11; Isaiah 60; Zechariah 12–13)Christ’s reign will bring true justice, peace, and righteousness (Isaiah 11)Creation itself will be restored from the curse (Isaiah 35; 65)The nations will worship the one true God (Ezekiel 43; Zechariah 14)
