Growing in the Word

The future is unknown, and human beings always fear the unknown, right? Rather than fearing what is to come, we are to be faithful till Christ returns. Instead of fearing the dark, we're to be lights as we watch and wait.

Today we remember the great sacrifice Jesus made on the cross of Calvary. He died a painful and unjust death for a wonderful reason - to save us from the penalty of our sins. But if Jesus had died on the cross, and the story ended there, we would be in big trouble. But Jesus rose from the grave and walked out of the tomb, and bridged the gap between us and a perfect and Holy God.

With all of the turmoil going on in the world right now, isn't it a comfort to know that God is in control? This coming Sunday we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It's the most significant event in human history. Can you imagine going through life in this mixed-up and violent world without the promise of eternal life in heaven? That promise was cemented in stone when the Lord rose from the grave and walked out of that tomb.

As we continue our study of Revelation, pastor Jim will bring us more details about a most amazing place, The New Jerusalem.

There are two places you can go after death, and it all depends on where you are in your relationship with Jesus Christ. That's at the core of today's message from Pastor Jim Jarrett, as we continue our study of Revelation. Your body decays in a grave, but your soul lives on forever. The question is, where?

Today, the topic will once again be one of pastor Jim's favorites - heaven! Heaven is a real place. The bible quite carefully describes it's dimensions, and many of it's physical characteristics. It's a place every Christian should be looking forward to seeing with great anticipation. John saw a vision of heaven in Revelation twenty one.

On today's program, we bring you another message in Jim's series in Revelation. The key question we'll examine once again today is, now that we know what's in store for this world, what are we going to do about it? We go to school for twelve or so years and are expected to use what we've learned to make our way in society. In much the same way, God has given us the information here in Revelation and expects us to use it. Exactly how?

There are two places you can go after death, and it all depends on where you are in your relationship with Jesus Christ. That's at the core of today's message from Pastor Jim Jarrett, as we continue our study of Revelation. Your body decays in a grave, but your soul lives on forever. The question is, where?

What happens when we die? That question has been asked by virtually every person who has ever lived, and it continues to be a source of discussion today. In our study of Revelation chapter twenty one today, we'll see our questions about life after death answered by God Himself. The plain fact is, every person has an eternal life waiting for them. The difference is in where you spend the time.

Heaven. Have you ever contemplated what that experience will be like? Most of us have, but every person's idea of Heaven is probably unique. We'll be in Revelation chapter twenty one today, and Pastor Jim will help us understand what Heaven will really be like, according to God himself.
