Evangelizing The Cities Series

Was A Pre-Tribulation Rapture Taught Before The 1800's?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 3, 2022

There have been numerous teaching surges of the "Rapture" and what happens at the return of Jesus over the last 50+ years that have brought confusion and fear.

Most often, the teaching of a Pre/Mid tribulation ‘Rapture’ re-appears during times of world crisis, social upheaval, pandemics, war, rumors of war, etc., to help bring focus on the soon-coming return of Jesus, who will stop it all and set up His Kingdom on Earth for 1,000 years.

Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 19, 2018

What Makes Your Prayer Powerful? (Praying From The New Covenant 2) Series

Contributed by Christabel N. Onuoha on May 6, 2023

What makes the believer’s prayer powerful is not the verboseness of the speech, not the gyration or energy or loudness in our voice, it’s not even the number of scriptures we quote when we pray. Paul says, “for I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto salvation…”

This is a continuation of the Praying From The New Covenant series. In my last message “Praying From Victory” as opposed to praying for victory, I mentioned that praying from victory is praying from the perspective of the finished work of Jesus on Calvary. And this is a perspective issue, it’s a ...read more

Easter Impact

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 20, 2018

Mary Magdalene has the biggest “narrative impact” on Easter morningI: “I have seen the Lord." Which speaks of her life-transforming experience.
