Sermons on The Rapture:

The Church Does Not Enter The Tribulation – Reasons That Prove It – Part 4 Of 4 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 25, 2024

Earlier I wrote a three part series on why the Church can not be in the Tribulation that is coming. Here is a Part 4. Jesus has borne the wrath against sin on my behalf at Calvary so there is no way He sends us into God’s coming wrath in the Tribulation.

THE CHURCH DOES NOT ENTER THE TRIBULATION – REASONS THAT PROVE IT – PART 4 OF 4 Earlier back I wrote a three Part series on this subject that is on SermonCentral in the Series on “ESCHATOLOGY, RAPTURE, BIBLE PROPHECY and CURRENT AFFAIRS”. I thought that was the end, but some more thoughts ...read more

Not For Sale, Trade, Or Compromise: My Birthright

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 15, 2018

We must take our stand as Christians and not barter our consecration, our morals, our faith in the supernatural God, or compromise on the rapture. We have a great inheritance coming; don't lose it!

NOT FOR SALE, TRADE, OR COMPROMISE: MY BIRTHRIGHT 1 Kgs. 21:1-15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A four-year-old boy accompanied his expectant mother to the doctor’s office.

Jesus Is Coming: Go To Church More Often

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 4, 2019

The appraoch of the Rapture will bring with it the birthpangs of worldwide troubles and catastrophes. Hebrews tells us to do 2 things: Spur one another to love & good works and GO TO CHURCH MORE & MORE OFTEN!

JESUS IS COMING: GO TO CHURCH MORE OFTEN Heb. 10:24-25 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE FRUGAL LUTHERAN 1. The frugal Lutheran walked into the house panting and almost completely exhausted. “What happened, honey?” inquired his wife. 2. “It’s a great new idea I have to be a better steward of our ...read more

The Future Restoration Of Israel - Part 2 - Scriptures In Isaiah Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 8, 2022

Part 2 continues the Restoration of Israel in the future, after the Tribulation. These are amazing passages we look at this time. We should know these prophetic scriptures because the time is very near. The Rapture must be very close.

THE FUTURE RESTORATION OF ISRAEL - PART 2 - SCRIPTURES IN ISAIAH {{Isaiah 10:20-23 “Now it will come about in that day that the REMNANT of Israel and those of the house of Jacob who have escaped, will never again rely on the one who struck them, but will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of ...read more

The Revelation From Jesus And God (Revelation 1:1-8) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 29, 2023

A practical, academically rigorous, no-rapture reading of Revelation. Here, John receives a revelation from Jesus, passed from God, to Jesus, to Jesus' angel, to John, for 7 seven churches. To what end?

Last week, I introduced our new series on the book of Revelation. Really, I didn't explain much about the book at all. My focus was more on how I think the book should be read. If you missed that, you're going to want a copy of my sermon. This week, I want to begin by simply reading the ...read more

Triumph And Tribulation

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on May 20, 2025

This sermon explores the biblical doctrine of the Great Tribulation, focusing on the signs of Christ’s return, the rise of the Antichrist, and the call to spiritual vigilance.

Over these next two weeks, I get the joy of talking about the tribulation with you (yes there’s irony in that phrase). But before we get into that, I want to touch just briefly on something that we’ll be talking about in a couple of weeks when Josh returns. Not to steal from anything he’s going ...read more

A New Thing Series

Contributed by Larry Grant on Sep 18, 2021

When we leave this world, whether it be by the rapture or the graveyard, there are just some things that cannot go with us! God said I am going to do a New Thing! He said that the Former Things will have passed away! There will be NO MORE: Death – Sorrow – Crying – Pain – Tears

Revelation 20:6-21:5 “A New Thing” September 19, 2021 1. The Blessed (v.6) “Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection” Verse 4 says… “Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped ...read more

The Gospel Of "nice" Will Be The Death Of You

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 11, 2019

The Gospel of Christ calls us to live boldly, not safely. God calls His people to stand firm in this holy Faith rather than seeking to make people like them.

“Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one deceive you ...read more

And Enoch Walked With God

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Nov 20, 2002

To be able to walk with God one must know who He is and to walk humbly before Him. Enoch’s translation without seeing physical death is typical of the translation of living saints which will occur at the rapture of the church.

“AND ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD” “And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” Genesis 5:24 I. "And Enoch walked with God". One cannot walk with God without first having a true knowledge of who He is, what He demands and what He desires of us. 1. Who He is: The Almighty God who ...read more

"The Urgency Of Repentance”

Contributed by Levi Wright on Jun 16, 2007

“There is an "Urgent Need of Repentance" for the wicked and unrighteous, because the Lord will soon return to rapture the Church. The wicked must forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts and seek the Lord while he may be found.

Dr. Levi Howard Wright “The Urgency of Repentance” TEXT: Isaiah 55:6-7 “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will ...read more

It's Not Just A Story

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jul 4, 2007

Is the Rapture, and the Second Coming reality to you, or is it just another story that you cannot really relate to? Each of us needs to make sure we fully understand this prophecy. Audio will be placed at www.sermonlist.com

Most of us have been raised hearing about the return of Jesus. Among the earliest of my memories are those that deal with Jesus coming back. I remember that, because I didn’t know who Jesus was and my brother said he was going to reach out from the radio as I walked by and grab me. My first ...read more

A Study Of The Book Of Revelation, 12: Ch 15-16, The 7 Bowl Judgments Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jun 23, 2015

Climax of the judgments of God on this planet before the return of Christ. Awful, awful, times. Most believers are gone, not by rapture, but by persecution and death. Yes it is possible: think, North Korea. So, his wrath is not falling on His people...

The Seven “Bowl” Judgments 15-16 The end has come and gone again. Any further talk of judgment must be a close-up, or review, of something already covered. That is where the bowls come in. Now, in the sixth seal and seventh trumpet days, in which the seven bowls are poured out, the ...read more

The 7 Characteristics Of Those Who Walk With God

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 18, 2019

There are seven characteristics that must be present in those who wish to walk with God in order for them to be pleasing to God and to attempt to duplicate the life of Enoch which in the end caused him to go up in his own private Rapture!

THE 7 CHARACTERISTICS OF THOSE WHO WALK WITH GOD Genesis 5:21-24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: BIBLE RIDDLES 1. Q. What kind of man was Boaz before he married Ruth? A. Ruthless. 2. Q.

Use Your God-Given Time Well (Revelation 15:1-8; 16:1-21) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 24, 2023

God uses the bowls to seek repentance from people, right now, and for the past 2000 years. This is everyone' chance to look up, acknowledge God, and turn to him. A no-rapture, academically rigorous reading of Revelation.

Today's going to be a bit of an odd sermon. I'm going to spend most of my time giving us a framework for reading a pretty big chunk of scripture. Basically, I'm going to try to give you a pair of glasses, so that you read it in a particular way, seeing the main points it makes. But ...read more
