Today, people’s interest in the end times seems to be at an all-time high. That concern, however, is not always translated into everyday life. How can we live in light of Christ’s return? In his eight-part series, Until Christ Returns, Dr. Michael Youssef uses the example of the Thessalonians to encourage Christians not to be deterred by persecution, fear, or human pride, but to actively and outwardly serve the living God, confidently awaiting His return even in turbulent times.

In this fourth message from Until Christ Returns, Dr. Michael Youssef boldly confronts the dominance of sexual immorality in our culture and in the Church. From 1 Thessalonians 4, he proclaims that holiness is not optional—it is commanded by the authority of Christ. Whether the sin is fornication, adultery, pornography, or any defilement outside Biblical marriage, it is rebellion against a holy God and invites His judgment. Dr. Youssef urges believers to reject self-pleasure and live to please Christ, empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit. God has not called us to impurity but to sanctification. As we await Christ’s return, we must flee temptation, love others deeply, and walk in holiness—more and more each day.
