Pastor Chad, preaching from 2 Corinthians 5, emphasizes the reality of the judgment seat of Christ, where every believer will give an account—not for salvation, which is secured by grace through faith, but for rewards or loss of rewards based on how they lived. He explains that God will evaluate obedience, motives, stewardship of time and resources, and how we treated others, reminding the church that eternity is shaped not only by where we spend it but also how we experience it. Using Lot as an example of a man who was saved yet suffered great loss through compromise, Pastor Chad warns against “living on the edge” and stresses that our choices ripple across generations. He urges believers to live with eternity in mind, building on Christ with works that endure, so that when they stand before Him, their lives reflect faithfulness, surrender, and fruit that lasts into eternity.
