The New Earth, not heaven, is the final destination for followers of Jesus. When Jesus returns, God will make all things new, including our bodies, the creation, even the animals. What an incredible future!
What will happen when Jesus returns? Let’s avoid interpretations or ideas not clearly stated in the Bible. Rather, as we gain better understanding about these things, we should be encouraged and be eager to meet our Lord.
Many teachers and preachers have speculated about when Jesus will return. In this episode we’ll learn about some recent speculations. We’ll also learn where Jesus says our focus must be.
Following up on the previous episode, we look at five suggestions for giving good judgment, biblical correction, to someone who might be slipping. All believers have a responsibility to help other believers follow Jesus more closely.
Jesus says, “Do not judge.” What did he mean? Must we never make judgments about right or wrong, good or bad? We will learn what Jesus meant by these words and how we might put his teaching into practice.
Pastor Sam Allberry has written a small book about being a follower of Jesus and being single. As an unmarried man, he not only writes biblically but also very personally. You’ll want to get his book.
In many large urban areas, single adults comprise 50% of the population. How does God view singleness? What does He say about unmarried believers? You might be surprised!
From Romans 1-3 we have learned that God the Father is the giver of the gift of Jesus’ righteousness. We are the recipients of the gift. Concluding this series, we learn from Romans 4-5 how we receive the gift and what results from it.
We could become discouraged about our inborn, human sinfulness and God’s wrath against us. But from the book of Romans, we are greatly encouraged by God’s wonderful gift to us.
The word “gospel” means the good news about Jesus. To know exactly why this is good news, we must know the bad news. Romans 1:18 and following explains our natural condition before God, and what’s bad about it.

About Mission Upside Down
From the publisher's feed
For 2000 years, the followers of Jesus have been on a mission, even as Jesus himself was on a mission. Often wrongly understood as “saving souls,” this mission of Jesus actually is about bringing…
people into a new kingdom, a new reality. Life in this new kingdom requires not only a change of heart and mind, but a change in life-purpose and worldview. As Jesus himself observes, there are not many people who will want this change. But for those who are changed by God inwardly, life in this new kingdom, brings new meaning and purpose in life. Everyone who becomes part of this new kingdom finds that almost all their prior beliefs, ideas, attitudes, and perspectives become turned “upside down.”
