Eternal Life

Lee Campbell

Revelation 21:1-4

After John describes Hell, he changes gears in this passage to focus on Heaven. The passage and other supporting verses in the Bible describe Heaven as: 1) "earthy" in some way, 2) interesting and relational, 3) living with God, and 4) free of brokenness. The importance of choice by every individual is emphasized. Christians are encouraged to think more about Heaven and look forward to it.

Jesus' Millennial Kingdom

Gary DeLashmutt

Revelation 20:1-10

In John's vision of Jesus' 1000-year kingdom on Earth he sees that it begins with Satan's binding and ends with Satan's brief release followed by his final judgment. Countless numbers of Old Testament passages predict a time in history when the Messiah rules with His people, particularly in the book of Isaiah. There is a sound basis for knowing this will really happen in the hundreds of biblical predictions that have already been fulfilled. We have the opportunity to be participants in this period of history by receiving Christ.

Features of a Transformed Community: Concluding Prayer

Jim Leffel

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

God's Will for all people has to do with the process of sanctification. Our problem is that we have broken desires, relational alienation, dying bodies, and true moral guilt. Through the cross, God offers justification and complete transformation in this life and in the next. For those who pursue sanctification, security in Christ is the key to perseverance.

The Lord's Prayer

Scott Risley

John 17:1-26

The human race has a wrong view of God. As Jesus approached the cross, the main thing on his mind was correcting that view. This passage contains Jesus' incredible prayer for his disciples and for all who believe through their message. Thanks to Jesus' death on the cross and his resurrection, we can know God personally and have eternal life. We also have the privilege of glorifying God through our actions and words!\r\n

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

Mike Sullivan

Luke 10:25-37

Jesus has an interaction with an expert in the law, and uses the conversation as an opportunity to confront the blind spots of his religious thinking. Jesus uses the parable of the Good Samaritan to show that we are incapable of meeting God's perfect standard, and need God's mercy. As Christians, we should beware of our arrogance and be quick to correct the blind spots of the culture around us, so that we may better share and reflect God's love to others.

Sowing & Reaping

Jeff Gordon

Galatians 6:7-18

The Bible presents two options that we may put our effort into: either the things of the flesh, which are perishable; or the things of the Spirit, which will produce an eternal harvest. To sow to the Spirit with perseverance, we must deeply hold an eternal perspective.

The Great Banquet

Gary DeLashmutt

Luke 14:15-24

Jesus' parable about the Great Banquet sheds light into God's invitation for forgiveness through Jesus Christ. Jesus uses the parable as a warning to those who think they're in the Kingdom of God when they are not. Being admitted into God's kingdom is based on an active response to his invitation through Jesus. The parable also looks ahead to heaven, which will include a diverse population of people who have placed their faith in Christ as a result of other Christian's sharing the message of the cross with them.

True Greatness

Scott Risley

John 12:12-43

Jesus comes to Jerusalem and predicts his death. He was not the king people expected. Despite observing the miraculous signs Jesus performed throughout his ministry, many didn't believe and some were too afraid to admit they did believe. Jesus suffered and died so humanity could have life. His followers are to imitate his example to be truly great.
