Vijay looks at the subject of 'Hope'. He looks specifically at the one event that seems to define Christian Hope, the Second Coming of Jesus. Basing his sermon on Phil 3.20-21, he notes that Jesus inaugurates the 'Last Days' and the Kingdom of God when he first came to earth. Since his ascension, Jesus now rules the Church from heaven by means of the Holy Spirit. As he promised, he will one day return from heaven and fully establish his just and eternal Kingdom on earth. In light of Jesus' return, believers conduct themselves in this world like citizens of the heavenly kingdom.
