     | 525 views

    Is our faith based upon Christ or human traditions? Let's look in Colossians 2.

    Meeting In The Air (1 Thessalonians 4)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 29, 2024

    Many no longer use the term rapture, because it is often confused with a so-called "secret" rapture. Let's look at meeting the Lord in the air, in 1 Thessalonians 4.

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 30, 2024
     | 650 views

    What is the biggest message in prophecy? Is it prediction addiction, figuring out times and dates and personalities? Is it to simply be alert? Let's find out in 1 Thessalonians 5.

    A church that is a joy to be around is still far from perfect. We all fail in some things. There is always room to grow in Christ.
