Podcasts about The Day of the Lord

"I will utterly sweep away everything from the face of the earth," declares the LORD. In the days King Josiah, Zephaniah speaks God's Word of judgement. Focusing on Judah, he admonishes the worshipers on rooftops bowing to the stars, priests swearing to the YHWH in one breath and by Milcom in the next. His prophecy is clear: the great day of the LORD is near, near and hastening fast, a day of wrath, distress, and thick darkness, and neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them.  The Rev. Greyson Grenz, pastor of Community Lutheran Church in Flat Rock, MI, and Trinity Lutheran Church in Monroe, MI, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Zephaniah 1:1-18.  To learn more about Trinity in Monroe, visit tlcmonroe.org. Edom stands at the crossroads and watches his brother Judah dragged off in chains, and Obadiah announces that the day of the LORD is coming for the bystander, too. Joel sees a locust swarm strip a nation bare in a single season, calls the people to rend their hearts and not their garments, and promises a Spirit poured out on all flesh. Nahum returns to Nineveh a century after Jonah's revival, and this time the superpower does not repent. Zephaniah spends two chapters on the day of wrath and then ends with the Lord singing over the people He has rescued. This series on Thy Strong Word works through these selected books of the so-called "minor" prophets verse by verse, showing how the Lord judges the nations while also keeping his promises to gather His people home.  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. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

This sermon explores the certainty and suddenness of Christ's return, emphasizing that while believers find comfort in this promise, unbelievers face inevitable judgment. The preacher argues against the futile attempt to calculate specific dates for the Second Coming, noting that God has deliberately withheld this information to focus attention on spiritual readiness rather than chronological speculation. Using illustrations such as a thief in the night and labor pains, the text highlights how the world's false sense of security will be shattered by sudden destruction. The message serves as an urgent call to repentance for those outside of Christ and a reminder for believers to live with vigilance and hope. Ultimately, the central theme is the necessity of being found in Christ to escape the coming wrath and share this warning with others.

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. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

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 Chris Paoni preaches on the book of Zephaniah.

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.

Joel 2:11b-13 Day of the Lord Rev. Daniel Song

Christ could return at any moment. So how should that truth shape the way you live today?In this exposition of 2 Peter 3:14-15, Pastor Jim Osman shows that Peter calls believers to two things as they wait for the Lord's coming: live blamelessly and think evangelistically.Osman traces Peter's repeated call to diligence, first raised in chapter 1 and now returning in these closing verses. Holiness does not happen by accident. It requires effort, pursued through the Spirit's power, not apart from it. When Christ returns, everything will be exposed. The fakes and frauds will be revealed, but so will the quiet, faithful saints whose lives have been marked by genuine spotlessness and blamelessness rather than the stains and blemishes that marked the false teachers in chapter 2.Osman then turns to verse 15, where Peter tells us to regard the Lord's patience as salvation. That patience is not slowness or delay. It is an open door, a call to repentance for the unbeliever and an opportunity for the Christian to proclaim the Gospel while there is still time.This sermon is a sober and hope filled reminder that waiting for Christ's return is never passive. It is a call to holy living and faithful witness, lived out with confidence in the God who keeps every promise. ★ Support this podcast ★

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.

Preacher: Michael Foster, Text: Mark 13:24-37 

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 ★

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.

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.
