21.23 Even So, Come, Lord Jesus (Part 1)

As Craig and LaDonna Smith continue to complete a biblical foundation for a strong Indigenous Faith, they draw us into one of the most exciting parts of Christian faith - the soon return of Jesus Christ in what the Bible refers to as His Second Coming!  2,000 years ago the world saw the Creator of heaven and earth take on human flesh as He dwelt among the people He created.  Some forty days after His death, burial, and resurrection form the dead, He ascended back to heaven, leaving us with the promise that He would come again!  Since then the church has been anticipating Christ's second coming.  So, when will that be?  What are the signs that point to His return?  What will He do when He returns?  Pastor Smith unpackages for us what God's Word says while providing some historical perspective on how different parts of the Body of Christ have interpreted the abundance of end-time prophecy.  As Craig notes, about one third of Scripture is prophetic in nature, so we know it's an important issue from God's perspective.  Pastor Smith helps us sort out all the differing views and leaves us with a clear reason why he believes in the pre-millennial, pre-tribulation rapture of the Church position.  Is the teaching of God's Word on end time issues to be taken literally, or  figuratively as some believe?  Pastor Smith helps us know what to believe, and why, in this timely two-part series titled, Even So, Come, Lord Jesus!
