The Rapture of The Church | October 26, 2025

This sermon unpacks the biblical foundation and hope of the Rapture of the Church, emphasizing that while the term “rapture” isn’t directly in Scripture, the concept is clearly supported through passages like 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 and 1 Corinthians 15:51–52. The message clarifies that the Rapture is distinct from the Second Coming of Christ—an event in which believers, both living and dead, will be “caught up” to meet Jesus in the air before God’s judgment falls on the earth. The sermon highlights who the Rapture is for—those who believe that Jesus died and rose again—and explores what it will look like: a sudden, divine rescue led by Christ Himself, announced by a trumpet call and angelic command. Believers will receive transformed, eternal bodies and will be with the Lord forever, spared from God’s wrath. Ultimately, the message calls listeners to readiness and evangelism—living with peace and hope, helping others prepare for Christ’s return, and sharing the gospel with urgency and compassion before it’s too late.
