Major Ian Thomas emphasizes the transformative power of righteousness in the Christian life, explaining that true righteousness is God's work within us, characterized by peace, quietness, and assurance. He illustrates that when we allow Christ to work through us, our actions are not marked by stress or panic, but by a restful confidence in His competence. Thomas encourages believers to vacate their own efforts and let Christ occupy their lives, leading to a life of divine action rather than human sweat. He draws parallels between the roles of the sun and moon, highlighting that Christians reflect Christ's light in the world when they are fully surrendered to Him. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a complete abandonment of self-reliance in favor of a life lived in intimate relationship with Jesus.

John F. Walvoord discusses the theory of partial rapture, where a small group of pretribulationists believe only faithful church members will be raptured before or during the tribulation, based on works rather than grace. The historical background of this theory is traced back to Robert Govett in the 19th century. Walvoord presents general reasons for rejecting partial rapture, emphasizing salvation by grace, unity of the body of Christ, and the clear teaching in Scripture that all true believers will be translated at the appointed time.

Reggie Kelly delivers a prophetic sermon addressing the signs of impending disasters and the importance of the Church's role in preparing for the tribulation period. He emphasizes the need for the Church to awaken to the urgency of its tribulation task, particularly in providing refuge and support for Jews fleeing persecution. Kelly highlights the significance of interpreting prophecy, the alignment of events, and the Church's prophetic call to practical preparation and sacrificial love. He warns of the dangers of apostasy, the rejection of Israel's place in God's plan, and the critical role of faith and obedience in the face of coming judgment.

Lewis Sperry Chafer emphasizes the importance of the Church's anticipation of Christ's return, warning against losing sight of this hope which leads to spiritual decline and worldly distractions. He highlights the necessity of true devotion to Christ, which naturally results in a deep desire to be with Him and eagerly await His return. Chafer discusses how Satan has strategically discredited the imminent return of Christ to establish his own authority and deceive humanity. He also addresses the rise of false doctrines and counterfeit systems that divert believers from the essential truth of Christ's atoning work, leading them astray with secondary truths and human-centered ideologies.
