End Times | The Rapture
Shared on: Oct 1, 2014
The subjects of end times prophecy, the rapture, and the second coming of Christ will never cease to light up conversation. And recent studies of biblically based movies show a huge number of people—including unbelievers—will open their Bible to read about this. Capture this opportunity to exhibit relevance, encourage curiosity and engage the community with your church by inviting them to get answers to their end-times questions in your services.
