Send us a textFireworks fade; some futures do not. As we close a bruising year, we open 2 Peter 3:10–14 and ask a sharper question than “What's your resolution?”—What kind of person should you be if the world as we know it will be dissolved and replaced by a world where righteousness lives? We walk through Peter's stark imagery of the Day of the Lord, cut through common misconceptions about a stealthy return, and focus on his real warning: the surprise is in the timing, not the execution. That shift exposes two traps—scoffing at judgment and living like the present order is permanent—and offers a better way to plan, repent, and hope.You'll hear our panel's raw reflections on resolutions that failed, grief that redirected priorities, and the growing desire to be found in peace, without spot and blameless. We dig into how eschatology shapes everyday life: why a promise of new heavens and a new earth changes how you set goals, treat your body, spend money, and endure trials. We also address the noise—AI panic, billionaire plots, cultural churn—and set it under a bigger certainty: nothing advances beyond what God allows, and everything not built on Christ will not survive the fervent heat.This conversation is not about escaping the world but preparing to meet the King who already reigns. If your plans for the new year feel small or scattered, let the promised future give them weight and warmth. Listen, share with a friend who needs courage, and tell us one practice you'll adopt so your present is shaped by the world to come. And if this encouraged you, subscribe, leave a review, and help more people find their footing in a shaky time.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us a textFire is coming—and so is renewal. We walk through 2 Peter 3 and make the case that the future God promises is meant to rewire how we live right now: our ethics, our courage, our hope. Not as a niche debate, but as a daily compass. We challenge common end-times assumptions, reject secret rapture narratives, and argue for one public return of Christ, one resurrection, and one judgment that reveals what we truly loved. Along the way, we talk about how fear-based rapture culture harms discipleship, how the gospel has always saved in the same way across the ages, and why God's people are defined by new hearts rather than ethnicity.You'll hear how a clear view of the Day of the Lord brings both sobriety and freedom. If everything seen will be dissolved, then clinging to perishable idols makes no sense; investing in holiness, truth, and mercy does. We dig into the pastoral side of eschatology: watchfulness without panic, preparation without withdrawal, and ethical resolve that refuses to baptize political agendas with cherry-picked prophecy. The return of Jesus will be cosmic and unmistakable, not a private evacuation. That certainty lifts fear, confronts error, and steadies our steps.This conversation is a call to live as if the sky could break open today: reconcile what's broken, refuse the corrupt patterns of the age, and let your hope anchor your habits. If you've struggled with end-times anxiety or confusion, come test everything in Scripture, recover a unified gospel story, and renew your resolve to walk in godliness. If this resonates, share it with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe so you never miss what's next.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us a textA single idea sits at the center of this conversation: expectation changes ethics. We open 2 Peter and let its urgency interrogate our routines—if the day of the Lord draws near, then watchfulness is not paranoia, it's love that refuses to sleep on duty. Together we trace how vigilance, holiness, and hope belong together, not as a chart of dates but as a way of life that reshapes speech, choices, and courage.We grapple honestly with tribulation. From Acts 14:22 to the stories of early martyrs, the church has walked through fire, and God has kept His people in it. That doesn't weaken assurance; it strengthens it. Sealed by the Spirit unto the day of redemption, guarded by the Father's unbreakable grip, we learn to stand firm without triumphalism. The panel challenges popular seven‑year tribulation narratives, not to pick a fight, but to refocus the lens on what Scripture repeats: look, hasten, be diligent, live blameless. The same fire that judges the world purifies the saints, completing what sanctification began and giving us moral clarity to forgive quickly, resist compromise, and love boldly.We ground the conversation in lived images: a guard who must not fall asleep, Noah's ark as a picture of security only God can seal, and the lamp of the Word lighting each next step. From promise flows growth—faith maturing into virtue, knowledge, self‑control, perseverance, godliness, affection, and love. Time belongs to the Eternal, so delay is not neglect but patience; urgency remains, anxiety fades. We close with prayer, self‑examination, and an invitation to deepen community in the year ahead, trusting God to use us however, wherever, whenever He wills.If this message stirred you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so others can find it.

Obadiah 1:1-21

Filipi 1: 3-11

In this episode, we delve into one of the most intriguing, yet potentially perplexing, themes in the Bible - the Day of the Lord. We and explore how this idea first crystallizes in the book of Joel. Likely the earliest of the written prophets, Joel speaks into a moment of national fragility near the end of Queen Athaliah's reign (2 Kings 11), during those shadowy years between verses 3 and 4, when Judah's king was hidden, the throne stood vacant, and idolatry and wickedness reigned over Southern Judah. It is in this context that Joel introduces language that will ripple across the entire biblical story. While earlier narratives hint at the concept of the Day of the Lord, such as the spirit of the day in Genesis 3 or that day in Exodus 32, Joel is the first to use the explicit phrase "the Day of the Lord."And Joel makes it unmistakably clear that this Day is not simplistic. It can be both judgment and deliverance, devastation and salvation. It is a day when God confronts His people, but also a day when God rescues those who return to Him. Joel even uses the phrase to refer to two different historical moments, showing us that the Day of the Lord is not a single date on the calendar but cn be used to refer to multiple "comings" of the Lord in judgment or salvation. We explore how the Day of the Lord carries both certainty and contingency. Sometimes the Day will come no matter what. Other times, its arrival - or its intensity - depends on the response of those who hear the warning. Repentance might avert it entirely. Or repentance might not stop the Day from coming, but the repentant faithful will escape its destruction. In this way, a “future Day of the Lord” can refer to:a historical event that will occur,a historical event that could occur but never materializes,or the ultimate climactic Day at the end of the age.One of the central functions of proclaiming the Day is this: to call God's people back before the Day arrives. Prophets announce the Day not merely to predict but to transform. They want to summon listeners into the mercy of God while time remains.From here, we trace the theme of the Day of the Lord into the New Testament, especially 2 Peter 3:10 13. Peter uses the exact language of “the Day of the Lord” but applies it to the final eschatological horizon when Jesus returns, and the world is renewed. Even at the very end of time, the function remains the same: announcing the future Day of the Lord is meant to awaken repentance, holiness, and hopeful perseverance. Key Passages: Joel 1:15-18; 2:1-2, 12-142 Peter 3:10-13Possible conceptual allusions to a "Day of the Lord" before Joel: Genesis 3:8 - The Lord God walking in the cool/spirit of the day. Exodus 32:28 - "that day" the Lord brought a plague on the people. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Explainer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Video⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on how to use ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.biblehub.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.blueletterbible.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave us a question or comment at our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website podcast page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

The Unexpected Day of the LORD - Hebrew Thessalonians Chap 5 by Shawn Ozbun

The sermon centers on 2 Peter 3:1–7, emphasizing the certainty of Christ's return and the impending judgment of God, which serves as both a warning to false teachers and a source of hope for believers. It underscores the danger of scoffing at divine promises, particularly the second coming, by exposing the flawed reasoning of those who claim the world has remained unchanged since creation, a view contradicted by Scripture's record of God's past judgments, such as the global flood. The preacher highlights that God's Word, which created and destroyed the world, will also judge it in fire, affirming divine sovereignty and justice. Drawing from Old Testament prophets and apostolic teaching, the message calls believers to remain vigilant, grounded in Scripture, and motivated by the reality of Christ's return to live holy lives and share the gospel. Ultimately, the passage serves as a sobering yet hopeful reminder that God's faithfulness to His promises is unshakable, and His judgment is both inevitable and just.

The Day of the Lord with Wesley Hazel

Continuing through the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2. We continue on the topic of the Day of the Lord as well as dealing with deception, Antichrist etc. This sermon was given during our Saturday Shabbat service by Messianic Rabbi Frank Davis on December 06, 2025

God confronts His people's unfaithfulness, "Will a man rob God?" He calls them to return, promising blessings. The book of Malachi closes with a final, stark warning of the "great and awesome day of the LORD," a day of judgment (fire) for the wicked and healing for the righteous. It ends with the prophecy of Elijah's return to turn the hearts of the fathers and children, a promise fulfilled in John the Baptist.  The Rev. Mitchell Gowen, pastor of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Aiea, HI, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Malachi 3:6-4:6.  To learn more about Our Savior, visit oursaviorhawaii.com. This Advent series begins by covering the last Old Testament prophet, Malachi, and then spends twelve episodes alternating between Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment, tracing God's promises from Isaiah to the birth of Christ. The series explores Emmanuel's promise, the Davidic King, John the Baptist as forerunner, and reaches its climax with the Nativity. The final episodes examine the Suffering Servant, the shadow of the cross in Christ's infancy, Isaiah's Messianic mission statement, and John's declaration that "the Word became flesh."  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Michael Guertin Sermon

Got a question? Let us know!This week on Made For Mondays, Heather hosts with Jamey, Adrienne, and Joe for an honest, energetic, and surprisingly fun deep-dive into end times confusion, cultural chaos, and what it means to stay steady when the world feels anything but steady.The crew kicks things off with some weekend highlights and Bible Reading Challenge reflections before jumping into the Sunday Dish—starting all the way back in 1999, the height of Y2K panic, and why every generation seems convinced their moment is the moment.Jamey revisits his message and shares the famous line from one of his professors: “Date setters are upsetters!” That leads the team into a thoughtful conversation on end-times predictions, spiritual misinformation, and why “The Day of the Lord” has felt confusing for every generation—ancient Jews and Greeks included.They unpack:• How false teaching spreads today just as quickly as it did in Paul's time• How to stay vigilant about who we follow and trust• Why the “great falling away” conversation has spanned 2,000 years• Why Christians are so fascinated by the anti-Christ—and how to talk about it without spiraling into anxietyThroughout the episode, the team reflects on this week's Big Idea:The more unstable our world seems, the more stable God's people need to be.Heather asks each guest how they personally practice that stability in real life, and the team shares practical rhythms to help listeners ground themselves in truth, hope, and confidence in Jesus.Before signing off, Jamey gives a teaser for this coming Sunday.

This study from the beginning 2 Peter 3 examines the destructive language Peter uses that marks a judgement called, "The Day of the Lord." We take a look at Isaiah 24 to get some perspective how language like this is used in the Prophets. It is important for us to remember that even when we are reading about judgment, we are seeing that our God is faithful to His promises. This is good news!

Sunday Morning Expositional Message

Paul exhorts the city of Thessalonica to remember Christ's return. We must keep our eyes fixed on our earthly purpose even as we look forward to the Day of the Lord. We live in the hope of Christ's imminent return, which changes everything. Paul exhorts the city of Thessalonica to remember Christ's return.

When was the book of the prophet Joel written? Listen to this message to learn that no one is certain of the exact period and there are many views whether it was in the pre-exilic, exilic, or post-exilic period. Begin a study of chapter one of Joel which includes a devastating account of a severe historically based event and involves a comparison of locusts with the people of Israel. Find out many interpretations of the term "Day of the Lord" and see that while the context determines the meaning, all include a time of judgment from God. Remember that God is also involved in the affairs of our lives in the Church Age.
