In this powerful teaching, we delve into the intriguing story of Rahab, a harlot from Jericho, and her surprising journey of faith and redemption. As we explore the biblical account in Joshua 2, we discover how Rahab's faith and actions played a crucial role in the Israelites' conquest of Jericho. The question posed in this teaching is, "What does a prostitute, a pimp, a priest, and a politician all need to be saved? The answer is simple: faith!" Throughout this teaching, we analyze Rahab's daring decision to shelter Israelite spies and her bold profession of faith in the one true God. We also draw parallels between Rahab's story and contemporary issues, such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the moral dilemmas surrounding lying for a greater good. Through a deep exploration of Rahab's inclusion in the genealogy of Jesus, her recognition in Hebrews 11, and her justification by works as discussed in James 2, we uncover profound spiritual insights. We learn that Rahab's transformation from a harlot to a heroine of faith is a testament to God's grace and the power of genuine faith that produces righteous actions. Join us as we unravel the layers of Rahab's story and discover the timeless message that faith, even in the most unexpected of circumstances, can lead to salvation and a place in the lineage of Christ. Faith is the common thread that binds us all, regardless of our past, profession, or social status.

LIVE: The Antichrist Exposed: Who is the Man of Sin? (2 Thessalonians 2)

In this sermon, Pastor Allen clarifies for us the Church's fate during the tribulation period, providing clarity on the Rapture and the Second Coming of Christ. The second letter to the Thessalonians, penned by the apostle Paul, serves as our guide through these intricate matters. Paul's purpose in writing the letter was twofold: first, to address the eagerly awaited return of the Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering to Him, and second, to dispel any confusion regarding the timing of these events (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4). This letter was written to ensure that believers would not be easily shaken in mind or troubled by false reports, whether through spirit, word, or letter, suggesting that the day of Christ had already arrived. The distinction between the Second Coming and the Rapture is crucial. The Rapture is not to be confused with the Second Coming of Jesus. When will the Rapture occur? The debate centers around pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation, or post-tribulation scenarios. Next, we explore the Second Coming, often referred to as the Day of the Lord, by addressing the who, what, when, where, why, and how. The Second Coming is primarily for the Jews, marking God's final attempt to save Israel as prophesied in passages such as Jeremiah 30:7 and Zachariah 12:10. Revelation 7:4-8 speaks of the sealing of 144,000 Jews. This period represents seven years when God pours out His wrath upon the world, as foretold in Revelation 6:17 and Isaiah 2:12. The timing of the Second Coming is post-Rapture, and its exact moment remains unknown, even to the Son of Man, as stated in Matthew 24:36-44. We draw parallels to Jewish weddings, highlighting that the Son builds the house, while the Father determines its readiness. Concerning the location, the Rapture involves believers meeting Jesus in the air, while the Second Coming entails Jesus returning to Earth. The purpose of the Second Coming is to pass judgment upon a Christ-rejecting world, as seen in Revelation 19:19. The manner of these events involves a dramatic contrast: the Rapture begins with a shout and ends with the gathering of believers, while the Second Coming commences with the Rapture of the Church and culminates in divine wrath. To clarify these differences, we present a comparison chart (2 Thessalonians 2:2) that highlights the need for discernment, especially in light of disinformation by some suggesting that the Rapture has already occurred. We further dissect the concept of apostasy (2 Thessalonians 2:3), which can be understood as a departure from the faith, both morally and doctrinally. Moral apostasy signifies a departure from high moral standards, while doctrinal apostasy involves a departure from sound doctrine, exemplified by those denying Jesus as the only way. The man of sin, also known as the Antichrist, is a central figure. His various names, including the Antichrist, the Man of Sin, the Son of Perdition, and others, reflect his opposition to and usurpation of Christ's position. Antichrist's audacious claim to deity, described in 2 Thessalonians 2:4, includes sitting in the temple of God and declaring himself as God. Reference is made to the Third Temple, which is crucial for the Antichrist's ultimate deception, with the Temple Institute actively working toward its construction. The restraining force of the Holy Spirit, residing within the Church, prevents the Antichrist's from appearing. When the Church is raptured, this restraint will be removed, allowing the Antichrist to step into the limelight. The mystery of lawlessness is already at work, with evil on the rise, reflecting the urgency of these times. The Antichrist, empowered by Satan, will employ deceit, signs, wonders, and manipulation to deceive those who reject the truth. For those who succumb to this delusion, God will send strong delusion, causing them to believe the lie that the Antichrist is the Christ. Consequently, those who do not accept the truth will face condemnation. Yet, for believers, there is hope and assurance. God has chosen us for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, leading to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Thessalonians 2:13-14). As we anticipate the Rapture of the Church, we are encouraged to stand firm and hold fast to the traditions and teachings we have received (2 Thessalonians 2:15). May the Lord Jesus Christ Himself comfort our hearts and establish us in every good word and work (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17). Join us at Calvary Chapel West Jacksonville, led by Pastor Allen Victor, as we explore these profound truths further.

LIVE: They Are Lying to You! (2 Thessalonians 1)

In this sermon, Pastor Allen Victor at Calvary Chapel West Jacksonville delves into the second letter that the Apostle Paul sent to the Thessalonians around 50-51 A.D., a mere one month to one year after his initial correspondence. Paul had several compelling reasons for writing this letter to the Thessalonian church. First and foremost, he aimed to provide encouragement to a congregation facing intense persecution. Secondly, he sought to rectify their misunderstanding regarding the imminent return of Christ. And lastly, he wanted to offer guidance on how the church should deal with those who refused to contribute to the work. Chapter 1 of 2 Thessalonians presents a comprehensive overview, touching on various critical aspects of the Christian journey. The initial section focuses on Encouragement, highlighting the Thessalonians' unwavering faith despite the trials they endured for their beliefs. Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy commend the church for their steadfastness, a testimony to their faith and love that continues to grow, even amid persecution. Persecution serves as a crucible, fortifying the church and refining its members. Just as genuine gold withstands the fire, true believers endure persecution without losing their faith. Paul points out that faith and love that remain untested are unreliable. Many among the congregation were experiencing the crucible of persecution, their faith and love being refined as they endured tribulations. Paul was proud of the Thessalonian church's faith and love and boasted about them to other churches. They served as an inspiring model of what a faithful congregation should be. The question arises: Are we, the members of Calvary Chapel West Jacksonville, a model church? Can others speak of our great faith and abundant love? Time will reveal the answer. The persecution endured by the Thessalonian church not only purified them but also contributed to their growth. History has shown that the church often thrives and multiplies under intense persecution. The uncomfortable "growth zone" is where genuine growth occurs, and the same holds true for our faith. Furthermore, Paul highlights that persecution serves as evidence of both the Thessalonians' genuine faith and God's impending judgment. Every time a Christian faces persecution for their faith, it becomes a piece of evidence in God's case. Just as Jesus wrote in the dirt during the incident of the woman caught in adultery, He quietly observes during our tests of faith, wanting to see if our faith is genuine. The anticipation of God's righteous judgment is a significant theme in this chapter. When Jesus returns, there will be two distinct judgments. The righteous will receive rest and commendation at the Bema Seat Judgment, while the wicked will face condemnation at the Great White Throne Judgment. The view of judgment day varies among different theological perspectives. Some hold to the belief in eternal hell, where the guilty are sentenced to everlasting punishment. Others subscribe to annihilationism, where existence ceases. Universalism posits that eventually, everyone will be reconciled to God, while purgatory suggests temporary punishment and purification. There is also the concept of reincarnation, where individuals are reborn based on their karma. Ultimately, when Jesus returns, there will be a day of celebration for believers, as He will be glorified among His saints. This is a glorious future we can look forward to with hope. This powerful sermon on 2 Thessalonians 1 sheds light on the enduring themes of faith, love, persecution, and God's righteous judgment. It reminds us of the importance of genuine faith and love that can withstand the tests of life, especially in the face of persecution. As we eagerly anticipate the return of Christ, we must strive to walk worthy of God's calling and be willing to live and, if necessary, die for Him.
