On That Great Gettin’-Up Morning
Pastor Chuck Swindoll teaches from 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 about how you can prepare for Christ’s return. Take hold of God’s grace extended to you and pursue holiness while you wait.
The Rapture: The Next Event on God's Calendar
When the rapture occurs, 1 Thessalonians 4 tells us that Christ is to bring the souls of those who have died from heaven to earth. He’s going to resurrect their bodies, and their souls will re-enter their bodies permanently in resurrection.
Purpose to Build Up Others
Building up others means to edify, encourage, and uplift them so they will be strengthened inwardly to persevere despite difficulty. Encouragement seeks to infuse difficulty with meaning. Without that sense of meaning, hope and the will to go on fades.
When the Lord (Almost) Returned
Being left behind is a bad feeling. No one likes being out in the cold. But there will come a day when many people will know that awful feeling. It’s the day of the Second Coming when those without Christ will be left behind. This is a lighthearted look at Christ's return.
Watching for Jesus in the Air
At God's appointed time, Jesus will come a second time to earth and establish His kingdom. His return could occur at any moment. Are you prepared?
The Encouragement Cycle

Sustaining an Attitude of Gratitude
In his message, Chuck Swindoll takes us to the shortest verse in the Bible, “Rejoice always” (1 Thessalonians 5:16 NASB), that it may fill our every hour as we toil day by day, month by month, and year by year in God’s vineyard.
