Until He Comes Podcast

In a world filled with spiritual noise, chaos, and uncertainty, how do believers live with unwavering faith? Join author and Bible teacher Dr. Greg Hinnant as he continues an in-depth study on the Old Testament patriarch Enoch - a man who defied the deeply corrupt culture of his day to walk very closely with God. How did Enoch step out of the ordinary into the extraordinary? By anchoring his faith in the unchanging faithfulness and integrity of God. In this episode, Dr. Hinnant unpacks the profound mystery found in Hebrews 11:5 and draws striking parallels between Enoch's faith, Noah's preparation, and the urgent call for believers to prepare spiritually for the soon-coming Appearing of Christ. You'll discover: Faith Beyond Reason: Why Enoch's translation was rooted in absolute, abandoned, blind trust in God's Word rather than human reasoning. Enoch & Noah as End-Time Models: How these patriarchs serve as timeless blueprints for standing firm before coming judgment. The Promise of the Rapture: A clear, biblically grounded study of 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 and the ultimate hope of being caught up with obedient living Christians and the resurrectged "dead in Christ" to meet Christ in the air - and then live with Him forever. Standing Against Spiritual Darkness: How to recognize our real spirit-enemies, the "rulers of the darkness of this world" (Ephesians 6:12), and stay focused on God's eternal kingdom amidst present trials. 

It is never too late to start a deep, vibrant walk with God. In this episode, we explore the remarkable story of Enoch, a man who began walking closely with the Lord at age 65 and faithfully continued for another 300 years (Genesis 5:21 - 23). Enoch's story is a powerful reminder that our later years can be our most spiritually fruitful. Drawing from the lives of Enoch, Moses, and George Mueller, we examine what it truly means to "bear fruit in old age" (Psalm 92:14) and have our strength renewed by "waiting upon the Lord" (Isaiah 40:31). Even in the midst of a culture hostile to God, we are called to build an indomitable faith through private fellowship, spiritual restoration, and persistent duty. Key Takeaways from This Episode: A Late Start but A Long Walk: How Enoch proves that age is never a barrier to starting a deep life of faith and a powerful ministry. The Discipline of Endurance: Moving forward in daily duty when human strength, wisdom, and patience run low - or out! Persisting in a Godless World: Lessons from the persistent widow on maintaining an active, uncompromising faith (Luke 18:1 - 18). The Promise for the Patient: Understanding Christ's precious reward for those who keep His command to patiently endure (Revelation 3:10). Are you pressing on, or feeling tempted to give up under the pressure of your trials? Tune in to be refreshed, re-anchored, and equipped with a faith that stands firm . . . until He comes!

What does it truly mean to "walk with God"? In this episode, Dr. Greg Hinnant explores the life of Enoch (Genesis 5:22 - 24) to examine the standard God sets for our daily journey. Just as physical walking requires an upright posture, walking alongside the Source of all holiness requires a life marked by biblical righteousness. Through the power of the Holy Spirit and the new divine nature given to every born-again believer (2 Peter 1:4), living uprightly is not an impossible ideal; it is our calling and continuous privilege in Christ. Walking also demands constant forward movement. Enoch was not content to remain spiritually stagnant; he continually pressed toward greater intimacy with God, stronger faith, and greater service to others. He learned to endure hardships, rejection, and trials without allowing them to halt his spiritual momentum (Hebrews 11:5 - 6). Are you ready to move beyond comfortable routines and pursue genuine spiritual maturity? Join us as we challenge one another to abandon passive religion, stand firm in holiness, and press forward until we are fully conformed to the image of His Son (Romans 8:29).

Are you truly in control of your life? Or have you surrendered to the One who holds the universe in His hands? Drawing from timeless Old and New Testament truths, from the faithful walk of Enoch to the pressing warnings of Revelation, Dr. Hinnant challenges listeners to look beyond self-rule and step into the peace, wisdom, and protection of God's benevolent sovereignty. You aren't your own; you were bought with a price. Discover what it truly means to glorify God in spirit and body, stand in holy awe of His power, and prepare your heart for the glorious return of Jesus Christ. 

Are you truly teachable, or are you resisting the very thing meant to draw you closer to God? In this powerful episode of "Until He Comes," Dr. Greg Hinnant continues this series on "Living the Enoch Lifestyle" by exploring the crucial role of divine correction in a believer's walk. Drawing from Proverbs 6:23 and Revelation 3:19, Dr. Hinnant breaks down how accepting the Lord's reproof and instruction shapes our character, increases our spiritual usefulness, and prepares us to stand faithful in the end times. Tune in to discover why a humble, correctable heart isn't optional; it's essential for anyone who desires to walk intimately with God.

Are you tired of an "on-and-off" spiritual life? In a world that encourages us to excel at everything - our careers, sports, and personal hobbies - why are so many believers content to be apathetic when it comes to following Jesus? In this episode, we dive back into the Old Testament to examine the remarkable life of Enoch (Genesis 5:22 - 24). Before Enoch was taken into God's presence, he established a steady, habitual, and unwavering daily walk with God. He wasn't a "sporadic saint"; he was an intentionally disciplined disciple who built lasting spiritual habits. In this episode, you'll discover: (1) The Power of Habitual Faith: Why true spiritual growth requires deliberate daily disciplines like devotion, Bible study, and intercession. (2) Diagnosing Spiritual Illness: How to spot the subtle danger of lukewarmness (Revelation 3) and reignite your passion for God. Living for the Prize: What it means to truly excel in your Christian walk and live with an eternity-focused mindset.

What does it truly mean to walk with God in daily life? In Part 3 of Living the Enoch Lifestyle, we continue examining Genesis 5:22 - 24 and the life of Enoch to understand what it means to live in close fellowship with the Lord. Biblically, to "walk with God" means aligning our lives entirely with His path and surrendering self-will, yielding in complete conformity to His Spirit, and taking up the yoke of Jesus Christ (Matthew 11:29 - 30). We explore what it means to be a devoted servant (doulos) of Christ, dependent on Holy Spirit's guidance (Romans 8:14), and actively engaged in the Lord's harvest field (Matthew 9:37 - 38) without rushing ahead or lagging behind. 

What does it really mean to walk with God in a world that has completely lost its way? In this episode, Bible teacher Greg Hinnant returns to our series, Living the Enoch Lifestyle, to unearth surprising, little-known, and illuminating truths about one of the Bible's most mysterious figures. Scripture calls Enoch the "seventh from Adam." But what is the weighty spiritual message hidden within that title? We're diving deep into a mind-boggling timeline: Enoch was Adam's contemporary for 243 years. Imagine the firsthand instruction, the brokenhearted accounts of Eden, and the foundational wisdom passed from the first man who caused death to the first man who escaped death. 

What does it mean to truly "walk with God" in the last days? In this first message of a new series, Bible Teacher Greg Hinnant explores the remarkable life of Enoch, the man who pleased God so deeply that he was taken to heaven without experiencing death. Discover the meaning of Enoch's name, the spiritual decline of his generation, and why his life serves as a prophetic picture of believers preparing for Christ's return. As Scripture points toward the promise of the rapture, learn how living an abiding, God-centered life today prepares us to faithfully await our Lord. 

The spiritual fire that fell at Pentecost not only destroyed sin but also, at times, impenitent sinners. Yes, that’s right, unholy sinners in the midst of the Spirit-filled assembly. Annanias and his wife, Sapphira, gave us a lesson for the ages in what not to do in the midst of a Spirit-filled assembly: try to hide sin and lie to spirit-filled leaders! Their experience, like that of Nadab and Abihu, underscores that we who know God must stay self-examined and be prepared to deal with heresy in the church whenever it rears its ugly head. The Spirit’s holy fire, which draws so many to Jesus and his lifestyle, repels others who have no intention of becoming true disciples. Paul warned us to reject confirmed heretics for the protection of the church. Jesus, too, warned us to watch out for them and judge them by their spiritual fruit – and issued a most solemn warning to the “Jezebel” that was misleading and harming the church at Thyatira. Do we fear God? That is, give Him the deep, reverent respect He alone deserved.
