In this edition of Charis Beliefs, Dr. Randy Smith explores how the church began, how it is distinct from Israel, and why it’s important. He also teaches what the Bible teaches about things like the rapture of the church and the second coming of Jesus Christ. Understanding God’s plan and purpose for the church helps us better understand how the Gospel impacts our everyday lives. Click on the image below or go to vimeo.com/489878907.
