Faithfulness in Multiplication Ministry

Gary DeLashmutt

1 Corinthians 4:1-2

Faithfulness in multiplication ministry is accomplished through four means: 1) regular strengthening by God's Word; 2) peer friendships; 3) appreciating your ministry role as a privilege of God's grace; 4) build a biblically-informed focus on your eternal destination. These four things need prioritized or they will not happen. Multiplication is difficult work that takes a long time. Cultivating these will ensure faithfulness to God's call in our lives.\r\n

Resurrected Bodies

Gary DeLashmutt

1 Corinthians 15:35-58

God is capable of creating and giving people new bodies. In Paul's first letter to the Corinthians we see what these new bodies will be like for those who have put their faith in Christ. We know that our earthly bodies: perish, have dishonor, weaknesses, and are naturally made for this earth. Whereas, heavenly bodies will be: imperishable, radiate God's glory, have power, and will be spiritually capable of living in God's presence.

Growth, Persecution, and Judgment

Dennis McCallum

2 Thessalonians 1:1-12

God has given us the ability to take steps to grow in faith and love. Believers face persecution, which leads to growth. Without belief, people face the prospect of Hell, which is the absence of God.

Living with Hope

Scott Risley

1 Corinthians 15:51-53

Paul clarifies his teaching about the afterlife since it seemed like the Thessalonians misunderstood him. He helps them see the reality of eternity and what they can look forward to. With this in view, Paul encourages them to live with purpose in this life rather than wasting time on empty pursuits.

What Does The Future Hold?

Dennis McCallum

1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11

For many people, the thought of death provokes fear, depression, and despair. For people who have started a personal relationship with God though, death leads to an eternity with God in heaven, and as a result life on Earth is no longer relatively or existentially meaningless. Besides the promise of eternal life, God has also given Christians various prophetic signs to indicate that the end of human history is near, and understanding these signs motivates believers to live a sober and committed life for God until that day arrives.

Spiritual Goals, Discipline and Reward

Jim Leffel

2 Timothy 4:5-16

All people make goals, whether they realize it or not. Christians can participate in God's ultimate goal of reconciling people to Himself by setting spiritual goals within God's Will by using the gifts and talents He's given us. God also rewards Christians who participate in His plan: they hear from God; live a full, purposed life; and will experience the joy of sharing in God's family of believers in heaven.

Jesus on Life Motivation

Dennis McCallum

Matthew 6:19-34

Jesus teaches on what really motivates us in this life. There are two masters that people can serve, God or money. Jesus specifically speaks to living our lives for eternal things, rather than the temporary material things of this world. With a lifestyle of materialism comes heart-level issues between us and God and anxiety. Conversely, Jesus offers instruction to his audience to put God as the first priority to seek after and trust Him entirely, as His values and His guidance will give our lives true meaning and purpose that will carry on to eternity.

Cultivating an Eager Anticipation of Jesus' Return

Gary DeLashmutt

2 Peter 3:1-16

Peter gives us three ways to cultivate an eager expectation of Jesus' return?one for our hearts (what we desire), one for our heads (what we understand), and one for our hands (what we do; how we live). When you love Jesus with your heart, head, and hands, your life will become much simpler and fuller?and your desire for his return will grow. \r\n\r\n

The Presence of God

Gary DeLashmutt

John 17:21-24

The heart of heaven is being in God's presence. The biblical description of heaven is very different than in any other religion because the God of the Bible is very different that in any other religion. The picture of God in the Bible is that of a community of three beings in one. If we will spend the rest of eternity in community, we should start developing a taste for it now by prioritizing time with other Christians.
