Teacher: Thaddeus Fennig Series: Eternity Now Scripture:

What is our motivation, and behavior while we wait for Jesus to return?

The story of the Good Samaritan.

We bear the image of God, so by our very existence we are salt and light. It is not something we aspire to be by “doing enough” but it is something we embrace as an embodiment of Jesus.

The Power of God enables us to do the things He’s asked of us and empowers us to be His witnesses.

Jesus issues what has become known as the Great Commission. We walk through a well-known text with some surprising pieces that will surely change how you see your life as a follower of Jesus.

Resurrection life has a starting point, it’s dying to self. The more we cling to ourselves, the less we experience resurrection life.

What we do with our life now matters, we cannot wait until we get to heaven to build the Kingdom.

We have the ability to partner in God’s restorative plan here and now, so there is work to be done.

In light of the resurrection, we can be heavenly here and now. It’s not something that we wait for when we die and go to heaven, it begins now.

Paul works through a strong apologetic for the resurrection by unpacking what would be true if the resurrection wasn’t true. He also points to Adam and Jesus, as the way death came through one man and life came through one man. It is quite absurd that we’d all be ‘punished’ for one man’s sin, but there’s something else that’s true for us that’s also absurd!
