Featured Message:

Apocalypse Not Now

Josh Crain

Mar 8, 2026

Have you ever noticed that some Christians seem to be pretty obsessed with the end of the world? Last week, the United States launched an attack on Iran. Throughout the past week, many American pastors stepped into pulpits explaining what this war might mean for “the end times.” Words like rapture, millennium, and apocalypse started flying around. And here’s what’s fascinating: the system of Bible interpretation behind all of that talk is less than 200 years old. For nearly 1,800 years of Christian history, nobody read the Bible this way. So this week at Verve City Church, we’re doing a special message called “Apocalypse Not Now.” We talk about what “rapture theology” is, where it came from, the problems it creates, and why the misunderstanding of Scripture behind it can actually distract us from loving like Jesus. Whether you grew up hearing about the rapture or you’ve always wondered why some Christians talk so much about the end of the world, this conversation might change the way you read the Bible. Because what you believe about the end of the world shapes how you live in the world today.
