Are You Ready If Jesus Returned Today? | Paul Drader
Jun 14, 2026 Season 2026 Episode 23
Paul Drader

In this message, Pastor Paul Drader explores Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 24 and the lesson of the fig tree. While many people focus on predicting when Jesus will return, Jesus calls us to something different: living ready today.

As we look at His words, we’re reminded that faith isn’t about fear or speculation. It’s about staying awake spiritually, trusting Jesus, and making the most of the time we’ve been given.
