How To Spot A Fake Faith Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Apr 2, 2012

Thanksgiving

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 7, 2017

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 19, 2022

The Lord Jesus gave a promise to His disciples and those who would come to Him for salvation that He would return for them (John 14:1-3). These verses are considered to be His teaching on the "Rapture". Are we correct in this interpretation? We will look at the evidence.

On the night before He was to undergo the trial of the crucifixion and the redemptive work it ensued on behalf of fallen humanity, Jesus had given the disciples the assurance that even though He would soon leave them, He also promised that He would return and "receive you to Myself, that ...read more
