What Must I Do to Inherit Eternal Life?

Conrad Hilario

Luke 10:25-37

Jesus teaches through the parable of the Good Samaritan that to inherit eternal life we must ?love our neighbor as ourselves' and ?pray for those who persecute us' [Matthew 5:44]. Thankfully God provided another way to inherit eternal life?by asking for Jesus' death on the cross to apply as payment for our sin.

What Must I Do to Inherit Eternal Life?

Scott Risley

Luke 10:25-37

When a religious leader tested Jesus about the way to inherit eternal life, Jesus told him to love the Lord with all his heart, soul, strength and mind; and secondly, Jesus told the man to love his neighbor as he loves himself. To illustrate this, Jesus told the story of the ?Good Samaritan? who saved an enemy's life because he loved his enemy with God's love. And just like the Good Samaritan sacrificed for his enemy, Jesus died on the cross while we were still his enemies, to pay for our sins.

Peter's Calling and Commission

Conrad Hilario

Luke 5:1-11

Jesus calls Peter to follow him and become a ?fisher of men.? We should consider following Jesus like Peter because eternity exists, people's eternal lives depend on it, and it is exciting. Jesus banked his entire ministry on the twelve disciples, concentrating on the few while not neglecting the multitudes. He calls on us to follow his example and make discipleship our primary strategy to make an eternal impact.

Eternal Weight of Glory

Gary DeLashmutt

Hebrews 12:1-2

Christians are called to a life of endurance and perseverance. One biblical key to endurance is having an eternal perspective. The New Testament is full of references to Heaven and what it will be like, so there are many things we can know about Heaven and choose to focus on. It is important to cultivate this focus by looking for and meditating on passages in Scripture that talk about the topic of Heaven as well as emphasizing it in teachings and personal discipleship time.

Three Perspectives on Eternity

Pat Reeder

John 13:1-37

Judas, Peter, and Jesus all show very different views on eternity, demonstrated in the conversation that takes place between them shortly before Jesus was to be betrayed. Judas held the perspective that this life is all there is, which both affected how he lived in this life and the next. Peter, zealous for Jesus, focused on the coming of the Messianic Kingdom and experienced spiritual breaking in this life, but reward and rest in the next. Finally, Jesus himself anticipated his future glory and thus lived his life in obedience to the Father, serving others sacrificially. As we examine our own perspectives on eternity, we should evaluate the lifestyle and results to which those views ultimately lead.

The Power of Weakness

Chris Risley

Hebrews 11:39-40

Weakness shows itself through circumstances, personality, and failure. Our weakness can get us focused on God's power and not our own. While it may feel natural to be uncomfortable with weakness it can be a good thing in life and ministry. God's desired outcome include: weakness drives us to dependence; weakness makes us tough; weakness qualifies us to serve; weakness gets us focused on eternity.This workshop will explore Paul's perspective on weakness, allowing us to appreciate it in our own lives and minister to others who are struggling.\r\n

If There is No Resurrection

Jim Leffel

Ecclesiastes 3:11

The resurrection of Jesus Christ was the most important event in human history. The reality is that all people will make a choice about this fact. Paul makes it clear in his letter to the Corinthians that the existence of God and His resurrection is the one and only thing that prevents the human soul from collapsing into despair. For the believer in Christ, hope is the anchor for the soul that gives us assurance and endurance in this life.
