I. That Great, Dreadful Day II. Answering To A Sovereign Summons III. Leading To A Day Of Joy and Victory
In verses 4-8 of chapter 5, Paul continues his instruction about “the day of the Lord.” Christians are called to spiritual readiness for that day by being steadfast in faith, hope, and love.
This week on Sermon Spotlight, host Rose Lauck is joined by Abby Linaburg and Pastor Mark Carey to unpack a powerful follow-up to Mark 13.Building on Jesus' teaching about His return in the Gospel of Mark, Pastor Mark led us to 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11 — where Paul echoes the same themes of watchfulness, hope, and readiness.In a world filled with global tension and uncertainty, this conversation reminds us that Christ's return is not meant to create fear — but confidence.Because Jesus died for us, we are not destined for wrath.Because He is coming again, we are called to stay awake.Because we belong to the day, we live differently.Listen to the sermon we're talking about: fbcva.org/current-sermon-series or fbcva.org/podcastsBe a part of the conversation by submitting your thoughts and questions: fbcva.org/sermon-spotlight-podcastWatch this episode and subscribe on YouTube: @fellowshipbiblechurchvaFind out more about Fellowship Bible Church: fbcva.orgSubscribe to emails from Fellowship: fbcva.org/subscribeEngage with us:Facebook: facebook.com/groups/fellowshipfamInstagram: instagram.com/fellowshipbiblechurch/ #SermonSpotlight #FellowshipBibleChurch #FBCVA #Mark13 #BibleTeaching #ChristianPodcast #FaithInEverydayLife #Discipleship #FollowingJesus #DayoftheLord #escatology #Biblestudy
In the first three verses of chapter 5, Paul teaches the Thessalonians about “the day of the Lord,” or the second coming of Christ. He reminds them that it will be unexpected and sudden, and that believers should live in a state of readiness.
Recently, I've been seeing videos of these little kids who try to run away from home. They pack their bags and walk down the driveway only to eventually realize they don't know how to live on their own, and run back to the arms of their parent. Of course, every time the parent isn't scared because they know the child will always come home. Today, Pastor Ken says you must stand firm in God because He won't judge you if you trust in Him. Run back to your Father's arms today! You're never too far gone!

Send a text According to the book of Zephaniah, he proclaims that the day of the Lord is a moment of bitterness and sorrow. In the final stretch of the end of the ages the church will experience a sweet encounter of our Redeemer Jesus Christ, but the world will witness the wrath of the Almighty. May this biblical teaching be a blessing to you all. Support the show

We move into the next section of Isaiah with 12 oracles of judgment on the surrounding nations. In this talk Chris, explores these oracles specifically looking at Isaiah chapters 13 & 14. The new testament interprets the Day of the Lord as Jesus second coming, and in order for us to not receive this same judgement, we are to put our trust in him, the one who received this punishment on himself, on the cross. Throughout the book of Isaiah the recurring question keeps appearing over and over again – whom shall you trust? We want our church to be rooted, established, and built on Jesus, maturing in him and so as we explore this brilliant old testament book, our prayer is that we, more and more, place our trust in him above anything else this life has to offer.

“The Coming Day of the Lord”1 Thessalonians 5:1-11*Having recently completed our series “None Like Jesus” let's continue to “Behold Him” by embarking on a new study through the Gospel of Mark. Mark's Gospel is the shortest of the four Gospels and it is action-packed from start to finish – as evidenced by the word “immediately” used over 40 times. Mark wrote to believers, probably Roman believers, who were no strangers to persecution. And he wanted to disciple his readers to be strong in their faith by encouraging them to look to their Mighty Messiah, the Son of God, who remained steadfastly faithful even while becoming their Suffering Servant who died for them. Mark's Gospel is a call to all believers to fearlessly “Follow Jesus” because they can trust Him completely.
New Testament Reading: Revelation 21:22-27
In the game of hide and seek, there's a seeker and then a ton of people who are hiding. The way the hiders win is if the seekers never find them! When I was younger, I remember having to get super creative to ensure I won as a hider, and most of the time it still wasn't enough… Today, Pastor Ken says there's nowhere you can hide from the Lord on judgment day. He'll find everyone who's against Him! Therefore, you must be ready and have a relationship with Him so you can be in His presence for eternity!

At a soccer match, the field is reserved for the players. It would be weird if someone from the crowd was on there, and yet it happens all the time. They must get security to get the fans off the field, and usually those people end up spending a night in jail. Today, Pastor Ken says the people in the book of Zephaniah disqualified themselves from entering the temple of God because of their actions. You have full access to God if you believe! He sent His Son so you can have a relationship with Him!
Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Speaker: John Dellorto Date: February 22, 2026
In this sermon on Genesis 6-9, Pastor Jared Richard demonstrates how the story of Noah functions as a "mini gospel" that prepares us for the greater story of Jesus Christ. Richard outlines five key elements: the problem of sin (humanity's complete depravity), the promise of judgment (God's wrath through the flood), the place of salvation (the ark), the partial fulfillment (Noah's eventual failure), and the perfect fulfillment (Jesus as the true and better Noah). Richard emphasizes that by Noah's time, human wickedness had become so pervasive that "every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time continually" (Genesis 6:5). God's judgment through the flood was both necessary and grievous to His heart. While Noah provided salvation for his family through the ark, his story ultimately ends in failure - naked, ashamed, and dead, just like Adam. This demonstrates that Noah was only a partial fulfillment of God's promise, pointing us to our need for something greater. Jesus Christ is that greater fulfillment - the true and better Noah who doesn't merely build an ark, but becomes the ark himself, willingly plunging beneath the flood of God's wrath so that all who are "in Him" can find not just salvation, but transformation. Richard concludes with an urgent call to come to Christ, the only place of safety from the coming judgment. WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

In 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5, Paul reminds believers that the “Day of the Lord” is certain, sudden, and inescapable for those living in spiritual darkness. Yet for those in Christ, that day will not catch them unprepared or bring condemnation. As believers, we are called to be ready, living holy lives with confident expectation of the rescue and reward Christ will bring. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

The sermon centers on the imminent return of Christ and the prophetic reality of the Day of the Lord, emphasizing that believers are not to be caught unprepared, as they are children of light and not of darkness. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5, it explains that while the exact timing of Christ's return remains unknown, the suddenness of His coming—like a thief in the night—will reveal the spiritual blindness of the ungodly, who will face divine judgment during a period of unprecedented darkness, destruction, and despair. The passage underscores that the Day of the Lord, though marked by catastrophic events including the Tribulation and the Battle of Armageddon, is not a time of wrath for believers, who are spared through salvation in Christ and are called to live in readiness, sobriety, and faith. The preacher calls the church to wake from spiritual slumber, to walk in holiness, and to remain vigilant, knowing that Christ's return is both certain and near, urging all to embrace salvation while it is available.
Listen to this brief audio devotion The Day of the Lord is Coming 4) At the End
Death brings uncertainty and fear, but Paul's letter to the Thessalonians offers profound hope for believers. Christians who die are described as being asleep temporarily, remaining with Christ even in death. When Jesus returns, the dead in Christ will rise first, followed by living believers being caught up to meet Him in the air. This means believers are always with the Lord, whether in life or death. Unlike worldly hope that depends on circumstances, Christian hope is grounded in our permanent relationship with Christ and our identity as children of light.https://www.ankenyfree.church

False teachers deceived some in the Thessalonian church and led some to believe they had missed Christ's return. In Paul's correction, he mentions two events that will take place before Christ gathers his church: a rebellion and the revealing of the Man of Lawlessness. What does this word rebellion mean, and how does it help us understand what we will see in the end?

The End Times were a matter of turmoil for the church in Thessolonica. Not only did Paul address the issue in 1 Thessalonians, but it is the first issue he addresses in 2 Thessalonians. In these verses, we look at the issue at hand and the effect false teaching had on the church.

Listen to this brief audio devotion on the book of Joel. The Day of the Lord is Coming 2) Soon with the Lord's Army.
Sunday Sermon by Kevin JensenJoel's call for Judah to repent and return to God during a locust invasion sent by God applies to us as well as God calls us to repent and come to him through Jesus before the great and final Day of the Lord comes.Texts: selections from Joel 1-2 and Acts 2
2 Thessalonians #2 2 Thessalonians 2:1-6 In 2 Thessalonians 2:1-6, Paul addresses fear, confusion, false teaching, surrounding the Day of the Lord. In this message, we’re reminded that God is not a God of chaos or panic, and that believers are called to live anchored in truth rather than driven by alarm. This passage invites us to discern wisely, stand firm in what we’ve been taught, and rest in the assurance of God’s timing and sovereignty.
The central message of this sermon is that believers must remain steadfast in faith and holy living, grounded in the confident hope of Christ's return, which is delayed not out of unfaithfulness but divine patience aimed at drawing people to repentance. Drawing from 2 Peter 3:8–13, the preacher emphasizes that God's eternal nature renders human perceptions of time irrelevant, and His apparent delay in returning is an expression of mercy, not slowness, as He desires all to come to repentance. The sermon warns against false teachers who mock Christ's return and promote libertine doctrines, highlighting that God's ultimate judgment—sudden and devastating like a thief in the night—will expose all things, calling believers to live in holiness and godliness. Yet, this sobering reality is not to instill fear alone, but to motivate eager anticipation and active pursuit of Christ's coming, as believers look forward to the new heavens and new earth where righteousness dwells, sustained by God's grace that trains and empowers holy living.
