    Doctrine of the Last Things (Part 13): Final Thoughts on the Time of the Second Coming
    21 Oct 2026

    Why hasn’t Christ returned after two thousand years, and should we expect him in our lifetime? Dr. Craig wraps up his treatment of the timing of the Second Coming with Jesus’ warnings about readiness and Peter’s reminder that with the Lord a thousand years is as one day. He also takes on an honest objection: the Second Coming is simply too otherworldly to believe. His answer might just surprise you!

    Doctrine of the Last Things (Part 11): Delay of the Parousia Continued
    7 Oct 2026

    Did Jesus predict he would return within the lifetime of his hearers? Dr. Craig takes a closer look at two of the most contested sayings in the Gospels, Mark 9:1 and Mark 13:30, and asks what "the kingdom of God come with power" and "all these things" may have referred to in their original contexts. The answer may not be the Second Coming at all.
