WAITING FOR JESUS TO RETURN

For the last few weeks, our series has been WAITING. We have looked at what the scriptures teach us concerning….

1. Waiting for Provision
2. Waiting for Answers
3. Waiting for Miracles

If you haven’t had a chance to listen to those messages yet, I encourage you to get on our website or YouTube channel and catch up on the principals we have discussed so far, because they are all interrelated and build on each other.

Today I want to talk about something we are ALL waiting for… The Return of Christ. Our wait began the day Jesus ascended into heaven

Key Text: Acts 1:6-11
