Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Nov 15, 2025

In a world constantly seeking a place to belong, to feel safe, and to be loved, the scriptures come as a refreshing reminder that God has chosen us to be His dwelling place. His desire has been consistently clear: to dwell among His people, not in buildings made by human hands.

OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Story of John Wesley’s dream of first going to hell and then heaven and realizing only Christians were in heaven and not the denominations.

Eschatology 3 Of 16 Our Glorified Bodies (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 13, 2022

In the last two sermons, we have been talking about the rapture of the church. I want to remind you again, the rapture is different from the second coming of Christ.

Look at 1 Thess 4:17 “Then we ...read more
