Youth Group News

It is safe to say that the topic of the end of the world has been one that has sparked intrest and intrigue for many people. You can see it reflected in movies, books, and tv. The mystery of the "end of the world" has motivated poeple to come up with thier own theories and conclusions, timelines and answers because the thought of the unknown and the unanswered is too hard to deal with. I know that it is a topic that can be confusing and all the answers can not be readily given, for example, when will it happen? The Bible is clear that that is not for us to know. So what can we learn about the End Times - well, plenty. The Bible and specifically the book of Revelation gives us a glimpse into the future and a chance to learn about what is to come. Journey and Lightforce are launching a 2 month series on the End Times - focusing on the Rapture, Tribulation, Second Coming, and how God calls us to live until His return.
