WHERE I’M COMING FROM BIBLICALLY

- Jesus came to bring people back to life from death and sin

- Jesus is described as the hope and light of the world 

- If you’re a follower of Jesus, then our worldview should correlate with Jesus 

-- Jesus came to bring healing, not glorify sickness

-- Through His death we gain eternal life, the end result being the focus not his death

-- Eternity is real and the missions of every Jesus follows is to get people to Heaven, not Hell

HOW TO TALK ABOUT THIS HOLIDAY

- You can talk about these things without adding a spooky factor to it

-- What is scary about it? 

-- What is the concern will happen?
