When the Trumpet Sounds (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

When we talk about the future and the Lord’s return, we create a lot of interest and curiosity.  When Jesus ascended into Heaven in Acts 1, the disciples stood there staring up in the sky.  Two angels suddenly appeared and said, “Why are you standing here and staring up into the sky?  This same Jesus will return in the same manner that He left.”  We have been waiting ever since that moment.  How should we approach the Lord’s return and is it real?  Today’s message explains Paul’s comments as they address the Lord’s return.
