Resurrection and the Rapture – Living in the Hope of Christ’s Return

In this profound and hope-filled conversation, Reverend Benjamin Cooper and Steve Valler dive deep into two of the most powerful doctrines in the Christian faith: the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the rapture of the Church. This episode explores how the resurrection is not just an event in history, but a living reality that transforms how we live, serve, and look forward to Christ’s return.

Beginning with the empty tomb, Rev. Ben and Steve reflect on the foundational truth that Jesus conquered death—not symbolically, but literally. His resurrection proves His divinity, validates His promises, and assures every believer of eternal life. This victory over the grave is the cornerstone of Christian hope, and it guarantees that death is not the end for those who are in Christ.

The discussion naturally flows into the rapture—the promised return of Christ to gather His church. With biblical references from 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18, 1 Corinthians 15, and the words of Jesus Himself, the hosts discuss the urgency, preparedness, and joyful expectation surrounding this future event. What does it mean to be ready? How should the church live in light of the imminent return of Christ?

Listeners are challenged to live with eternity in mind:

• Are we truly ready for Christ’s return?
• Does our life reflect the hope of the resurrection?
• Are we clinging to temporary things or investing in what is eternal?

Reverend Ben reminds us that the same power that raised Christ from the dead lives in us today (Romans 8:11). It is this power that enables believers to walk in victory, face trials with courage, and serve with purpose. Steve highlights the pastoral and prophetic importance of being alert—not asleep—in a time of spiritual distraction and apathy.

“The resurrection changes everything. And the rapture reminds us—this world is not our home.”

This episode is essential listening for anyone who wants to understand biblical prophecy, experience renewed hope, and live with a deep sense of spiritual readiness. Whether you're new to faith or a seasoned believer, this message will encourage and equip you to live in the light of Christ’s return.
