About this listen

Main Takeaways

  • Just as we trust the sun to rise, we trust the Day of the Lord will dawn for believers.
  • The world ignores the coming judgment, trusting in a fragile peace that will vanish like vapor.
  • Endless scrolling and commercial promises create a "white noise" that lulls Christians into spiritual sleep.
  • We guard our hearts against guilt and coldness by wearing the breastplate of faith and love.
  • We are not destined for wrath! Like Noah's family, we are carried safely through the storm in the Ark of the Church.

Scripture Index

  • 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11: The Apostle Paul contrasts the sudden destruction coming upon the world with the salvation promised to the children of light.
  • John 2:1–11: Jesus’ first miracle at Cana reminds us that while we may enjoy earthly gifts, we must never become intoxicated by the world.
  • Genesis 6–9: The account of Noah illustrates how God preserves the faithful remnant through judgment via the safety of the Ark.
  • Isaiah 65: The Old Testament reading that points us toward the joy of the new heaven and new earth.
