1. The Second Coming
Much of what we believe, teach, and do – is based upon the belief – Jesus is coming again
Only 1 time – called “second” coming (Heb. 9:27-28)
Always been questions surrounding his coming:
Scoffers denied it (2 Pet. 3)
Thessalonians confused (1 Thess. 4)
Some quit work thinking it was immediate (2 Thess)
While we teach it & acknowledge it:
How important is it in our thinking?
Really believe it could happen in our day?
