Join us for the first episode of our new devotional series on eternity, heaven, hell, and judgment. Pastor Mike explores why it's crucial for Christians to contemplate these often-avoided topics.
Key points:
- Introducing a new sermon series focused on the afterlife and eternity
- The importance of addressing challenging topics like death, judgment, and hell
- How understanding eternity transforms our perspective on Scripture (e.g., the Sermon on the Mount)
- Observations from 25+ years of pastoral experience with death and dying
- The changing attitudes towards death in modern society, especially in medical contexts
- Contrasting modern avoidance of death with early Christian martyrs' readiness
- Biblical encouragement to reflect on our mortality (Psalm 39:4, Philippians 1:21)
- Startling statistics on death rates and our universal mortality
- The opportunity for Christians to find hope in the face of death through Christ
- A call to set our minds on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God
