In our final installment let's take a look at what Scripture says regarding this Great Event in - 1 Thes 4:16-18:To better understand the versus describing the Rapture in this passage we need to understand that what Paul describes as what’s going to happen is equivalent to a military invasion.In various chapters of the N.T. Paul compares our Christian life in this world with that of a soldier.

The Three (3) Pillars of Truth Upon Which The Doctrine of The Rapture Is Built:Let's take a look at Scripture - 1 Thes 4:The 1st Pillar is found in the first section of verse 14 which states:v.14a - “For we believe that Jesus died” – Is better translated – “Since we have placed our confidence in the fact that Jesus died”;We believe in and joyfully await the Rapture/Gathering of the church to be

Other reasons why Mt. 24 and Mark 13 do not speak to us regarding the Rapture:1. In 1 Cor 15:51 Paul says - “Behold, I tell you a mystery”. The word “mystery” refers to a truth that was hidden in the past and is now revealed. It was something that was not known until the moment in which it was revealed. If Mathew and Mark would have been speaking to us about the Rapture then Paul would not be

Today we begin a series on the Rapture.We will give brief notes over the next couple of days regarding this event which most Christians (us included) believe will take place sometime soon.The Major Scripture References Concerning The Rapture Are:1. Jn. 14:1 – 3;2. 1 Cor 15:51-54; and3. 1 Tes. 4:13 – 18.Some may be wondering and asking how about Mat 24 and Mark 13 don't they speak of the events

Without trust you have no: JOY or PEACE.- In personal relationships TRUST is the foundation.-Trust in God in every kind of situation.LIFE IS NOT FAIR. We are going to be mistreated and have problems even when we have done nothing wrong. We are under the misguided conception, that if we are good, we will never be mistreated or

These little daily comments aren't going to be in depth teaching sessions on prayer but rather are given to cause you to think a bit.Today we will focus on Jn. 5:14 & 15:v. 14 - "This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us."v. 15 - "And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have

Hello my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.A lot has been going on in my life and ministry over the past couple of weeks so don't think that I haven't forgotten about the study on Prayer - it's coming.Until I start the series I will leave you with some versus over the next couple of days to meditate on.Jn 15:7 -"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will

We too have our part to play.We are victorious because of God’s power which He chooses to exercise through us. So we are His instruments in and through

1 Kings 19On this installment we will look at God’s question to Elijah – “What are you doing here…?In the first two installments we learned the need to restore/refresh ourselves by having some alone time with God.

1 Kings 19As we continue with this story…we find Elijah sitting under a Juniper tree requesting that he might die and so he says, “It is enough; now, O Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.” Then he laid down and slept.Loosing sight of God’s vision and purpose for his life Elijah runs away from the issues at hand and falls into a state of depression.What are the signs?:1.

But no sooner is he enjoying the victory that he hears word that the queen Jezebel sends a message to Elijah saying: "So may the gods do to me and even more, if I do not make your life as

Author: Yehuda BergThere is a powerful lesson in the story of Jacob and his two grandsons.The older grandson is named Menashe, whose root meaning is forgetting, or lack. The younger grandson is named Ephriam, whose root meaning is sustenance, or abundance.On his deathbed, Jacob gives his blessings on the heads of his grandsons. Tradition would dictate he give precedence to age, or Menashe. So the

Many times we as Christians find ourselves asking this question because of the situation we find ourselves in. First comes the thought of our condition before God’s presence and for many we fall short of the mark.We forget that when we first came to Christ it was by His grace and not our merit. We forget as Christians we are called to grow in the Lord, yet we don’t like adversities. We forget to
