Rescued by Truth: Week 52
Awake Us Now
A difficult and challenging message, this week we address the reality of hell. Hell is not a topic of regular conversation, yet the reality of hell is true. Therefore, it is essential we understand the consequences of our beliefs, our actions, and our behaviors, and that we understand what the future holds. The Bible teaches we have only two destinies: With God (heaven) - or - Apart from Him (hell). Which destiny are we living for?

Two Year Gospel Study Week 104
Awake Us Now
The Gospel of John Week 26 Scripture: John 20:19 - 21:25. Today’s study will conclude our two year study of the Gospels with a dramatic and amazing ending. We begin with John 20:19, it is the first day of the week (Sunday) and the disciples were together with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly Jesus was standing among them saying “Peace be with you.” This is a phrase in English that sounds so common, like “have a good day.” But in Hebrew it carries much more meaning. Shalom (peace) more than just an absence of conflict or warfare, it refers to all creation - it...

info_outlineToday’s message is a continued study of Paul’s farewell words of encouragement and warning to the gathering of church leaders.
Paul shares honestly that he understands his time left on earth is short. He states how he has proclaimed the whole will of God.
What is the Whole Will / Counsel of God?
CREATOR - We and the world are intentionally created by a pure, loving, holy creator who shows us how brilliant a Creator / Designer He is. His design points us right back to Him, our Designer.
CONDITION - Our condition is that - All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. None of us is righteous.
CHRIST - we all need a Savior and that Savior turns our lives around. Christ is the prophesied Messiah:
Deity - God
Death - on the cross for us - paid the price of our sin by taking it on Himself that we might be saved.
Resurrection - His resurrection ensures our victory over death. We will be raised on the last day when He returns.
Returning - He will return and we will have eternal life with Him forever.
Paul encourages the leaders to take care of themselves and the flocks God has given them. They are to be shepherds of the church of God.
Paul warns them of the spiritual war that is all around and to be cautious not to fall prey to the eternal and internal threats against the truth of God’s word.
Paul closes by telling them to be on guard because remaining on guard is a life and death matter. Not just a life and death matter temporally (on this earth). It is a life and death matter eternally! (Our eternal destiny). We must be on guard - in Greek this is one word. That word is AWAKE!
We need to wake up to the truth of what God says in the Bible.
BE AWAKE - be prepared because Jesus is coming back!
He will return, so….
Be awake in prayer
Be awake in faithfulness to God
Do not be deceived!
