What Is Dispensationalism?

In this episode of our Revelation Devotional series, Senior Pastor Mike Woodruff tackles a complex but important theological framework: What is Dispensationalism?

This interpretive model, popularized by works like the "Left Behind" series, provides a specific way of understanding biblical history and prophecy by dividing it into distinct periods, or "dispensations." Pastor Mike offers a high-level overview of this system, explaining its emphasis on a literal interpretation of prophecy, its distinction between Israel and the Church, and its common association with a pre-tribulation rapture and a premillennial view of Christ's return.

While this framework offers clarity for some, Pastor Mike emphasizes that it is not the gospel itself and should not be a source of division among believers. This devotional encourages us to focus on the core promise that unites all Christians: Christ is coming again, God wins, and we are called to live with faithfulness and hope in light of that certainty.
