Mosaic Lincoln
Mosaic Lincoln is a community following Jesus in practicing rhythms of grace to bring renewal to a weary and burdened world. Our desire is to come together as a people unencumbered by the cultural and religious expectations of our time. Instead, we will focus on receiving and extending the grace of God. Our hope is to work together to cultivate safe spaces within our church family, our neighborhoods and our shared networks where people can lean into each other’s stories and experience the restoration of Jesus together.

REVELATION (WK 5): "Rapture In Reverse"
•
Mosaic Lincoln
Fast forward to the end of the world as we know it. What does it look like? What happens to us? Where do believers go? What is to become of the earth? Rapture theology would have you believe that Christians are sucked up into the air and go to be with God somewhere else, while creation and those who are left endure several years of suffering before everything left is annihilated. Scholars point out that this kind of thinking is so prevalent in culture that most Christians assume it must be true. But is it? Is this even a biblical idea? Let's talk about it.
