HOW DOES GOD PURSUE ME?

A. Parable of fishless fishermen.
Now it came to pass that a group existed who called themselves fishermen. And lo, there were many fish in the waters all around. In fact the whole area was surrounded by streams and lakes filled with fish. And the fish were hungry.

During vacation Bible we had over 10% of those attending come to Christ for the first time. And while I was talking to one of them, I made a simple statement. "Well, now that you’ve accepted Jesus, you’re a part of God’s family." Sounded innocent enough to me, almost welcoming…but the child’s

When I was about six years old, I heard the pastor preach a message about the "Second Coming" of Christ. He emphasized the initial part of Christ’s return, what we like to call the "Rapture of the Church". He explained in great details the events that would transpire: people disappearing, worldwide
