2 Peter 3:13
Joel is a short, but very powerful book. His main message is "repent, for the day of the Lord is at hand." In this lesson we'll give an introduction to the book overall, then dive into meaning and imagery he uses to warn the Jews to return to God before it's too late. Joel's message to his audience applies to us as well. Enjoy this sample from Lesson 5, "The Day of The Lord (Joel 1:1—2:11)" from Dr. Nick's 20 part course, "The Minor Prophets: The Book of the Twelve." Anyone can join our community of students and stream the entire audio lesson and full course (and other courses too!) whenever they wish.
Fr. Mike introduces us to the prophet Joel and the unique timing of his ministry in the midst of tragedy. He also touches on the prophecy concerning Lucifer and St. Michael the Archangel, and how the two are directly contrasted to show the glory of God. Today's readings are Isaiah 14-15, Joel 1-2, and Proverbs 10:17-20. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

In the Old Testament, prophets were equipped by God to illuminate His purpose for the people. One such leader, Zechariah, rallied the Jewish people after their Babylonian exile, using a “hope-ray vision” that was vibrant, revealing, and galvanizing. His powerful visions, bold promises, and vivid prophecies revealed God's heart to protect, restore, and lead His people. And that message still rings true today. Join Horizon at the Equipping Services for a verse-by-verse journey through ZECHARIAH as we see how Christ-followers, like the Israelites before us, can rediscover hope by looking deep into God's work.

Pastor Ryan continues the sermon series through the book of 2 Peter as he preaches a message titled "The Day of the Lord Will come" during this Sunday morning service.
Where is God when floods, fires, and massacres strike? Joel faced the same question after a locust plague stripped Judah bare. Two extremes get it wrong: blaming specific sins for specific tragedies, and denying God has any hand in them at all. Joel points a different way. Every disaster is a trumpet blast, a warning that a final judgement day is coming. So return to God with a whole heart, not just torn clothes and empty rituals. God is gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love because of what Jesus did on the cross. Bible Reference: Joel 2:11–32 Preacher: John Westendorp

Joel 2:11b-13 Day of the Lord Rev. Daniel Song
In Zephaniah: The Last Refuge, we explore one of the Bible's clearest pictures of the Day of the Lord—a day of certain judgment, but also of incredible hope. Zephaniah reminds us that every false refuge will ultimately fail, while calling God's people to pause before Him, pursue Him with humility, and patiently trust His perfect timing. As the book unfolds, the message shifts from judgment to restoration, revealing a God who not only saves His people but delights in them. Ultimately, the New Testament reveals that the refuge Zephaniah anticipated is found in Jesus Christ, the One in whom we are forever hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3).

Don't be deceived, this world does have an end and there are 2 outcomes for all people, either worthy of God's kingdom by acceptance of Christ's blood or afflicted and condemned by God's righteous judgement.

Remember God loves you so much he sent his Son Jesus Christ to take the punishment for your sins. You are of great value. Jesus loves you and He is just a prayer away!
The coming destruction of the present creation is not just a doctrine to believe—it's a call to live differently. In this expository sermon from 2 Peter 3:11–12, Pastor Jim Osman draws out the practical weight of Peter's eschatological teaching and presses it into the conscience of every believer.Peter's concluding exhortations are clear: those who genuinely believe Christ will return are marked by it. First, they are a holy people—set apart in conduct and godliness, fitted for a new creation in which only righteousness dwells. Osman unpacks what that means practically, showing that holiness is not merely a positional reality but a moral pursuit, one that grace both demands and provides.Second, they are a hastening people—those who long for and actively work toward the coming of the day of God. Osman addresses the apparent tension between divine sovereignty and human responsibility head-on. The day is fixed on God's calendar; yet Scripture calls believers to hasten it through holy living, faithful gospel proclamation, and earnest prayer. These are not contradictions—they are the two sides of the same sovereign purpose.If Christ is returning, and Peter insists He is, the only question left is: what kind of people ought we to be? ★ Support this podcast ★

Two thousand years feels like a long time to wait. Jim Osman says that's exactly the point.Continuing through 2 Peter 3, Osman tackles the mockers' challenge in verse 4: where is the promise of His coming? Peter's answer comes in two parts, and this sermon focuses on the second: God's patience. Osman walks through what that patience actually means, tracing it back through Exodus, Isaiah, and the Psalms to show that the Old Testament's "slow to anger" God and the New Testament's patient Father are the same God, not two different ones.He works carefully through the Greek behind "slow" in verse 9, distinguishing tardiness from sovereign timing, and uses Habakkuk's own wrestling with delay as a parallel. Then comes the heart of the message: who exactly is God being patient toward? Osman pushes back against a popular reading of "not willing for any to perish," arguing from context that Peter is addressing God's own people, the elect not yet gathered in, not the whole world indiscriminately.The sermon closes with four practical encouragements, including a direct word to anyone listening who has yet to repent. This episode offers a clear, doctrinally grounded answer to anyone wondering why God seems to be taking so long. ★ Support this podcast ★

The Day of the Lord Will Come, by Wes Brown. 6/12/2026 Friday Night Sermon.
This sermon teaches that Christians should live ready for the return of Jesus, knowing that His return will be sudden and that no one knows the day or hour. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5, Pastor Mike encourages believers to walk as "children of the light" by pursuing holiness, staying spiritually alert, sharing the Gospel, and living with faith, love, hope, and salvation. The message concludes with a call to fully commit to Jesus, live a life worthy of the Gospel, and remain prepared for the Day of the Lord.
"The Day of the Lord" - 2 Peter 3:1-10 - 6/07/26 (Jason Swain) by TwoRiversChurch FoCo
In this episode of TGI Now, we break down Bo Polnys revelation about God's timing, the removal of evil influences, coming Death Angel chaos followed by renewal, and the birth of a Golden Age for those who stand in faith. Is this the beginning of biblical end-times events? What does it mean for believers today? "Bo Polny delivers a powerful prophetic warning in this must-hear message: the Four M's of 2026 — Millions Gone, Millions Dead, Morgues Filled, and Months to Bury the Dead. Tied directly to the 'Great and Terrible Day of the Lord' in Joel 2:31, this unfolding judgment signals divine intervention, a modern global Exodus, and the largest wealth transfer in history. Watch/listen with an open heart and ask yourself the question Bo poses: Do you know Jesus? Prepare spiritually, stay vigilant, and get ready for what's coming.
The book of Joel in a single episode. Bodie and Joey unpack the essential details of Joel, where it falls on the storyline, the structure of the book, major themes and ideas, what Joel teaches us about God, what it offers our Christian lives, and a couple of our favorite details to equip and inspire you to read, study, and understand this prophet who used a devastating locust plague to call God's people to repentance and to point ahead to the great and awesome Day of the Lord, when God promised to pour out his Spirit on all flesh.
In the midst of Revelation 16—between the sixth and seventh bowls of judgment—God inserts a powerful parenthetical statement that shines like a beacon: “Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed…” (Revelation 16:15). In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains why this is more than a warning—it's an encouragement for believers watching the world plunge deeper into darkness. Dr. Youssef connects Revelation 16:15 to the consistent “thief” language repeated across Scripture. Jesus used the same imagery to urge watchfulness (Matthew 24:42–44), and Paul and Peter echoed it to describe the suddenness of the Day of the Lord (1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10). When God repeats something four times, He intends for His people to take notice. The Day of the Lord will come like a thief to those who are spiritually asleep—but to those who are alert, it will be a glorious day. This devotional will strengthen you to stay watchful, live ready, and hold onto the blessing of hope—because Christ's return will not surprise the faithful, even if it shocks the world. Prayer: Lord, when I am overwhelmed by the brokenness of this world, give me an eternal vision of Your love and purpose. Help me to trust in You and find peace in Your saving grace and coming Kingdom. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come” (Matthew 24:42). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

How should Christians view the day of the Lord? What kind of lives should we live until the second coming of Jesus? In 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11, we see the truth of Christ's return to judge unbelievers and lavish blessing upon those who belong to Him. These truths are given to us that we might be encouraged and built up to be faithful as we look to that day!
This week Pastor Ricky discusses Paul's description of Jesus' second coming. He talks about the man of lawlessness and our role as believers who are waiting for Christ to return. Pastor Ricky encourages us, as Paul did for the Thessalonians, to continue sharing the gospel, hold to the truth, and rest in the love and grace of God.
Pastor Landon walks through the book of Joel on Pentecost Sunday, showing how this minor prophet points directly to revival, repentance, restoration, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. From the devastation of locusts to the promise of God restoring “the years the locusts have eaten,” this message is a call for the church to spiritually wake up and return wholeheartedly to the Lord. This sermon connects Joel's prophecy to Acts 2 and the birth of the church at Pentecost, reminding believers that the Holy Spirit empowers us to boldly proclaim Jesus in a world desperate for hope. Pastor Landon challenges the church to move beyond comfort, distraction, and shallow religion into true surrender, holiness, and Spirit-filled living. “Rend your heart and not your garments… Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness.” – Joel 2:13 In this message: * The warning and mercy found in Joel * Spiritual awakening and repentance * Pentecost and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit * God's promise to restore wasted years * Living with eternal perspective * The need for both the Word of God and the Spirit of God * Returning to Jesus with all your heart Whether you feel spiritually dry, distracted, weary, or hungry for more of God, this sermon is a reminder that the invitation still stands: Return to the Lord.

This is session 1 of 6, “Joel's 'Before the Day of the Lord” delivered by Dr. Alan Kurschner from the conference, The Celestial Disturbances. Joel 2, Celestial Disturbances, and the Day of the Lord What does Joel 2 teach about the timing of the Day of the Lord, the rapture, and the great tribulation? In this opening session, Alan Kurschner begins a Bible prophecy conference by focusing on one of the most important prophetic markers in Scripture: the celestial disturbance event described in Joel 2:30–31. The passage says that the sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and awesome Day of the Lord comes. That single word—before—has massive implications for understanding end-times chronology. The post The Prewrath Rapture and Joel's ‘Before the Day of the Lord' appeared first on Bible Prophecy Answers with Alan Kurschner.
