     | 10,750 views

    This sermon deals with the Rapture of the church. It briefly describes the various Rapture Theories, along with going into further detail on the Pre-Tribulation Theory. But the most important element is not the theory, but whether or not we're ready.

     | 3,476 views

    There are many powerful institutions on earth, but one of the most powerful is the body of Christ - the Church. If the body of true believers in Christ can unite as one, there is no institution on earth that can withstand the church of Christ.
