  "Like a Thief in the Night" Behold He Comes Series from Thessalonians #17

  Aug 24, 202636 min

  We continue our discussion on Eschatology and the "end times" as the Apostle Paul moves from the discussion of what the "rapture" make look like from the end of Chapter 4 of Thessalonians into a discussion of "when" it might take place in Chapter 5. In this message we discuss how Christians are supposed to live in light of the Rapture as well as breaking down the main interpretations on the tribulation and whether the church will go through it or be taken up to be with Christ before it happens. From 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11. Thank you for listening to our podcast and we would love for you to subscribe to our page and share with others.

  "In the Twinkling of an Eye" Behold He Comes Series from Thessalonians #16

  Aug 17, 202641 min

  In this message we dig into Paul's teaching on "The Rapture" from 1st Thessalonians 4:14-18. Is the rapture a thing or was it created in the 20th century? Social media is full of clips of people questioning the rapture but you cannot get away from the Apostle Paul's very clear teaching that Jesus will come back, but not to earth like his second coming, but in the air to call those who have died as Christians to himself, and then all of those who remain on earth that are believers in Christ to himself. What will that look like? What are the implication for the church? How can we find Hope in this promised return for the church? In this message we unpack all of that as well as an overview of the "end times" calendar through the Book of Revelation. We also discuss the various views and beliefs of how we interpret these events including the three main "millennial" views and why they are important. A lot of great information that creates a foundation for the rest of our study in Thessalonians.

  "Good Grief" Behold He Comes Series from Thessalonians #15

  Aug 10, 202636 min

  Grief is something that every one of us will deal with in our lives, not just when we lose a loved one. We can grieve a lost friendship, broken families, church splits, lost jobs, the loss of our health or independence, even loss possessions like when a car is stolen or a house burns down. Grief is natural but would we call it something "good"? The Apostle Paul shares with the Thessalonians that there are two types of grief - those who grieve with no hope and those who grieve with Hope. What is the difference and what does it look like? Join us to discover how God can take our grief and make it healthy and good! From 1st Thessalonians 4:13-14, 18.

  "What Happens When We Die?" Behold He Comes Series from Thessalonians #14

  Aug 3, 202638 min

  One of the main teachings of the early church was the return of Jesus Christ to bring his followers to Heaven. In Thessalonica, when some early converts were passing away, other believers became concerned that since they missed the return of Christ then maybe they would miss Heaven. In the passage we look at in this message, Paul uses this opportunity to clarify what we believe concerning death and how it relates to the return of Christ. His intention is not to open some kind of theological debate about the "rapture" but rather answer pastorally and bring comfort and peace to the confusion. This is not a 2000 years ago question - it still resonates today and even in the church there seems to be confusion about death, heaven and Christ return. In this message we seek to use Paul's lesson to answer, both in a general sense and in a specific sense, what happens when someone dies. The answers may surprise you. From 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18.

  "The Revealing Nature of Your Ambition" Behold He Comes Series from Thessalonians #13

  Jul 27, 202636 min

  We continue studying the Apostle Paul's teaching on how we can live a life that is "pleasing to God". We have already learned that God's will for our life is to be "sanctified" or living our life pursuing holiness and now he continues by laying out some other important principles we should be pursuing or using our "ambition" towards. Our character and integrity matters as part of our witness and that includes how we treat one another within the church body, but also how we live our lives outside of the church. Those factors play a huge role in our ability to earn the right to be heard when we share the gospel in our community. This message explores how we are called to love "more and more" (overflowing love in action) other Christians inside the church; live a quiet live (what does that mean?) mind our own business and work with our hands (stay in our lanes and serve others) and not be a burden on others.
