    Jesus Christ is coming again. He warns us to be ready for His coming. The countdown to the Rapture of the church has begun and we need to realize that “Ready or Not” - here He comes!

    Ready or Not – Here I Come 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Introduction: When I was a child we played the game of hide and seek. One person was “IT” and they were the seeker, or person who would look for the other players who ran and hid. “IT” stood at the designated home ...read more

    A Rapture Viewpoint - More Perspective Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 17, 2023

    I think it is sad that many Christians do not understand the Rapture or have not been taught it, or reject it. It is the blessed hope held to tenaciously by the early Church. There is a joy in knowing the Lord will soon take me (His Church/Bride) home when He comes.

    A RAPTURE VIEWPOINT - MORE PERSPECTIVE THE LORD WILL NOT CALL HIS CHURCH TO HEAVEN Not really. He will not call from heaven and the saints go home. He opens the door in heaven according to Revelation 4:1 and there is a cry, “Come up here!” It is one of the joys of scripture when we compare ...read more

    We make two mistakes when looking for Jesus’ return - tune out or fall into despair. Learn how to occupy and the first of three studies on the Rapture of the church.

    People have tried to figure out when Jesus would return for a long time - in fact, the first disciples believed He would return before they died. In A.D. 204 a Roman Christian named Hippolytus records that a bishop was convinced that the Lord was going to return immediately. He urged his ...read more

     | 9,884 views

    I want to draw your attention to one common theme that punctuates each of these references. That common theme is the mention of the "trumpet". We are told in clear language that the Rapture will be a time that will be heralded with the sound of trumpets.

While the word “Rapture” itself does not appear in the Bible, the event is real nonetheless. We get the word "Rapture" from ...read more
