Heaven: Anticipating The Incredible

September 26, 2010 - John 14, Revelation 21
Seventy-six percent of people polled believe in heaven. Six percent believe in hell. Does it really matter what we think? God is not looking for counsel on the subject. The Bible is very clear that there are two opposing powers; the kingdom of heaven as opposed to the kingdom of darkness. The choices we make on this earth will determine which of those kingdoms we will enter. Consider God's heaven, a place beyond anything the mind can conceive.

Will You Be Blindsided?

September 19, 2010 - Have you ever experienced the horror of being blindsided in a traffic accident? It motivates you to drive more defensively and look in your rear mirror more regularly. Pop quizzes in school can blindside you if you aren't prepared and have neglected your schoolwork. It is not uncommon for people who have been blindsided to wake up in the hospital and say, "how did I get here?" The Bible tells us that there will be people who will be blindsided in the afterlife, thinking that they are destined for heaven, who find themselves in hell, saying, "how did I get here?" The Bible tells us that Satan is actively seeking to blind unbelievers, deceiving them with a false sense of security, that has eternal consequences. This Sunday we dig into Matthew 7:21-23 that speaks of the worst "blindsided" experience of all time. Yet, God has provided us with the best early warning system to guard us from being a victim of Satan's deception. Bring a friend with you as we discuss this critical subject of our faith.

Death: Facing The Inevitable

September 12, 2010 - Job 14:14 Unless Jesus returns soon, we will all face physical death. What we believe about death has an incredible impact on how we live on earth. What does the Bible say about life after death? What happens to my body? Where does my soul go? Is there really a judgment and what is that all about? Are there rewards in heaven? Listen as we dig into the subject of life beyond the grave

Jesus Focused Faith

September 5, 2010 - Luke 6:43-7:10 There are two times in Scripture where Jesus was amazed. Both had to do with faith. One was for the lack of faith and the other was of GREAT faith. God's calls all people to place their faith in Him, to trust that He can do what He has promised. We all go through storms in life and the way we face them is determined by where we place our faith. Will our lives be grounded on the solid rock or the shifting sand?
