The Second Coming of Christ: Body, Soul, and Spirit Sanctification
The Bible tells us that we are each “triune beings” possessing a body, soul, and spirit.

When Jesus comes again for His bride, He wants to find us walking in holiness, ready for His return. What is the difference between the body, soul, and spirit? What happens to those elements when we die or when Christ returns? Pastor Gary unpacks all of that in today’s study from 1 Thessalonians 5.

The Second Coming of Christ: Ready for the Rapture

This is known as “the rapture.” The Bible teaches that the first phase of the second coming of Christ is when He comes in the clouds to gather Christians from the earth. There is a generation that will not experience death but will be snatched up to be with Jesus forever. Are you ready for the rapture? Find out in today’s teaching how you can be ready!

A Surrendered Life to Jesus
Slavery has unfortunately been common in many civilizations, including the Roman Empire during the first century A.D.

Then he used the same term “bondservant” to describe himself in his relationship with Jesus. The Bible encourages all of us to understand what it means to live a surrendered life to Jesus, our Master. Join Pastor Gary as he shares the historical and practical application of what it means to be a “bondservant of Jesus Christ.”

Vertical Living in a Horizontal World
Although we exist on the horizontal (earth), the Bible encourages us to have our minds set on the vertical (heaven). Believers in Jesus are called to have an eternal perspective: to “put off” the old, sinful ways and to “put on” the new, godly traits of Christ. Among all the godly traits Paul tells us to “put on,” there is one trait that we are told to do as Christ has done for us. Pastor Gary shares about this one trait—among the other lessons of Colossians 3—in today’s study titled, “Vertical Living in a Horizontal World.”

Disclosure, Deception, and Discernment
We are living in strange, exciting times before the second coming of Christ.
