Through our salvation experience, we understand that it is by grace that we have been saved. As believers, we desire to move into a deeper understanding of God's heart. But as we journey down the path that we refer to as our Christian walk, we come to know that it is by faith that we become stronger, wiser, and more fulfilled in our relationship with our Lord.
God's desire for man is first our eternal salvation, then that we would be unified as one in Him, through the love of Jesus and the power of His Holy Spirit. In the patterns of the feast days, God has handed down His covenants and promises to His people. During the celebration of each Holy Day, the Father reveals His Spirit and how to grow deeper in our relationship with Him. And as we grow closer to our Lord, so does our desire for unity with others.
Have you ever desired to feel God's presence in your life in a stronger and even more personal way than you do right now? Have you ever yearned for a closer relationship with Him or to have a walk like those you have read about in the Bible? Certainly your answer is a resounding, "Yes!" As true believers, we all have the desire to reside in a deeper fellowship with our heavenly Father. But the next question we should ask ourselves is, "What must I do to achieve this intimacy that I long for with my creator and savior?"
Through our Messiah, Jesus, the double portion blessing of the first born is brought to all believers. As our sacrificial lamb, Jesus has made us a free people and full beneficiaries of His heavenly inheritance. In this knowledge we, as followers of Jesus Christ, should be encouraged with the whole hope of eternal life and joint heirship with the Son of the living God.

A Biblical Perspective of the Rapture and Tribulation
From the time that Jesus ascended to heaven promising His return, until this very day, the church has deliberated over the second coming of Christ. Questions and theories about the tribulation, the mark of the beast, and rescue from the wrath to come have plagued believers for centuries.
