Sermon: Does the Bible teach the "Rapture"?

Message from last Sunday afternoon (6.29.25) at CRBC in eschatology series:

Outline: 1. Review of three passages suggested by dispensationalists to provide the "biblical basis" for the "Rapture": John 14:1-3; 1 Thessalonians ; 1 Corinthians -52 (cf. MacArthur's Study Bible). 2. A sober evaluation and interpretation of those passages. 3. Conclusion and practical application.

In Our Time Podcast: Rapture

I'm a fan of the BBC's "In Our Time" history podcast with host Melvyn Bragg. In each episode the host brings three scholars into his studio to discuss some historical topic.

This week's episode was on "The Rapture." Listen here. Lots of interesting info on John Nelson Darby and the origins of dispensational premillennialism. Also of interest to Reformed Baptists, one of the guest academics on this podcast was prolific scholar Crawford Gribben from Queen's University, Belfast, who is preparing a monograph on J. N. Darby and the birth of dispensationalism.
