In this message, Pastor Harley Doneburg continues a temporary pause in the church’s study through the book of Acts, marking the third consecutive week focused on a topical teaching centered on Bible prophecy and the last days. Rooted primarily in Matthew chapter 24, with supporting passages from Daniel and Revelation, this teaching explores why Jesus emphasized the signs of His return and what they mean for believers today.

As the disciples asked Jesus about the destruction of the temple, the sign of His coming, and the end of the age, Pastor Harley explains how Jesus responded with clarity rather than speculation—warning of deception, wars, famine, pestilence, earthquakes, and persecution, which He described as the “beginning of sorrows.” These signs are not meant to create fear, but to produce spiritual alertness and readiness.
