Pastor Jimmy Evans, the founder of the multi-campus Trinity Fellowship Church in Texas, recently gave a guest sermon on the End Times at Ed Young\u2019s Fellowship Church. He touched on the rapture and shared his opinion against the teaching of the teaching evolution. Evans\u2019 sermon was called \u201cThe Right Side of the Levee.\u201d He told the audience that salvation is a gift from God for people who accept Jesus in their lives. According to Evans, accepting Christ is the only qualification that you need to be saved when the period of tribulation starts on earth.<\/p>\n<p>Evans said, \u201cJesus came to redeem us. When we were dead in our trespasses, He loved us. Isn\u2019t that wonderful? Even when we were against Him, He was for us. And [the Bible] says: \u2018By grace, you have been saved through faith. It\u2019s a free gift. You can\u2019t earn salvation.\u201d The 67-year-old continued, \u201cWe all have issues, and when Jesus comes, we\u2019ll all be imperfect. If you know Jesus, you\u2019re going to get raptured. If you know Jesus, you\u2019re going to Heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nRHs8w8m69o\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Evans also said that Christians can\u2019t fully understand the repercussions of what\u2019s happening in the world today and its correlation to the End Times until they know their identity in Christ. He also used his sermon to speak against teachings on evolution, which he says goes against what\u2019s written in the Bible. According to Evans, evolution is satanic teaching that tells us we came from an accident. We came from nowhere, we\u2019re going nowhere, and our lives are meaningless.<\/p>\n<p>Evans continued, \u201cThere was the goo, and then the zoo and then me and you. And we\u2019re teaching an entire generation those lies. I heard someone say one time, \u2018It\u2019s no surprise that children act like animals when they\u2019re taught that\u2019s all they are.\u201d Evans said that we were made in the image of God, and we\u2019re His family. We came from God, and He lives inside of us. When it\u2019s all said and done, we\u2019re going back to God. He cited the first two chapters and last two chapters of the Bible that say God created mankind in \u201cHis image to live with Him in paradise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pastor also touched on how Christians struggle to believe that God loves them despite their flaws. He compared God\u2019s love for us to a parent\u2019s love for their toddler. Despite how sticky and dirty they can get, parents still love their toddlers because they\u2019re yours. God loves us in the same way. No matter what we do or how dirty we get, God still loves us and opens His arms to us.<\/p>\n<p>Evans ended his sermon discussing the rapture again. He said that the earth will go through a seven-year tribulation period during the final days, which will be \u201cHell on earth\u201d and the \u2018worst seven years in human history.\u2019 Before this tribulation, he said those who know Jesus will be taken up in the clouds with Jesus. He warned that there are about 8 billion people in the world today, but only 2 billion identify as Christians. However, he stressed that he thinks hundreds of millions of people will be saved during the tribulation.<\/p>\n<p>His last thoughts during the sermon were that Christians shouldn\u2019t be afraid of the End Times. However, don\u2019t let Satan get in your head and make you question your salvation. Evans also said that we shouldn\u2019t be afraid to live our lives. He says to plan like Jesus isn\u2019t coming back for 100 years, but live like He\u2019s coming back today. Until the End Times come, we must continue to live our lives through God and pray. When it does come, we\u2019ll be prepared to go with Jesus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone has their thoughts of what will happen when the rapture comes.
