Promise Box Passages #8- Mar 19, 2023 - W. Shannon Potter

Only two more Sundays remaining in our sermon series entitled ‘Promise Box Passages’ as we explore some of the most common scriptures that are taken out of context. This week we will consider Matthew 24:40-42, “Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.” Many of us who grew up going to church experienced the constant fear and anxiety associated with Jesus' return and the possibility of being left behind. This Sunday we will be asking if this verse is a support for 'Rapture Theology' and if 'Rapture Theology' is even supported by scripture at all.
