Time and Eternity

Scott Risley

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11

Under the sun, or apart from God, life on this earth is enduring the time between birth and death. What if there was a way to overcome death, to get safely from "now" to "eternity"? The eternal Son of God entered "now" to open a way for us to enter eternity and overcome death. When one takes the first step by getting right with God, one can then live with meaning and purpose because one's actions now have eternal significance. One can now enjoy life and live wisely, knowing there is a God. One can now see life from His eternal perspective and look forward to a wonderful afterlife.

Eternity in Our Hearts

Conrad Hilario

Ecclesiastes 3:1-14

If God does not exist, then life would just be meaningless toil until we die. Youth, beauty, health, all are fleeting. Nothing endures. But God does exist and has planted an awareness of eternity in our hearts. We know we were created for much more. God is real and He does have a plan for your life. This gives real significance and meaning to our lives when we put our faith in Jesus and not in the things of this world.

Time and Eternity

Chris Hearty

Ecclesiastes 3:11-12

In a world without God, King Solomon asserts that time is just a countdown until death. But because God does exist and he has planted eternity in each of our hearts, each one of us will give an account to God for everything we have done. Those who put their trust in Jesus will pass out of judgment and into eternal life with Jesus. That gives meaning and significance to the choices we make now.

How (Not) to Deal with Death

James Rochford

Ecclesiastes 3:1-21

In the third chapter of Ecclesiastes, King Solomon confronts the fact in the end God will judge every deed. All of man's efforts to wrestle meaning out of life is for nothing if there is no God who holds eternity in His hands. Because God has set eternity in the human heart, Solomon can confidently conclude: Fear God and obey His commands. In God, there is ultimate meaning and significance. Your actions matter into eternity and death cannot rob you of your joy.

What Is Faith?

Ben Foust

Mark 5:21-43

The narrative of the woman in the crowd and Jairus and his daughter teaches us what faith is. They both placed their trust in someone to the extent that they acted upon that trust. They each took a risk to reach out to the One who they believed could change hopeless situations. What mattered was not the amount or strength of their faith but the object of their faith, Jesus Christ. His power is absolutely adequate! He can and will set hopeless and broken things right.

What Jesus Accomplished through His Death on the Cross-Pt3

Gary DeLashmutt

Colossians 2:15

The third accomplishment of Jesus' death on the cross was it delivered us from Satan's authority. Jesus disarmed the rulers and authorities in the spiritual realm and made a public triumph over them at the cross. Although Satan has been dethroned, he has not yet been entirely destroyed. He still has power to do spiritual battle with us, but we know the end of the story. Jesus wins!

The View from the Cross

Mike Sullivan

Psalms 22

Psalm 22 is an extraordinary prophesy of the crucifixion of Jesus given hundreds of years before the torture method was invented. Modern medical science confirms the description of death described in Psalm 22 is consistent with death by crucifixion. Psalm 22 is an astonishingly accurate prediction of what Jesus came to earth to accomplish. Since the Bible has been so reliable with prophecy that has come to pass, we can just as confident in the prophesies that are yet to come. Therefore we can trust what God says about the future.

Revealing God's Rescue

Scott Risley

1 Peter 1:1-9

Although we will go through various trials in this life, God does have a recue plan for those who believe in him. While this world is passing away and Christ could come back at any moment, God works through our suffering to reveal himself to us and through us. Through this refining work of suffering, the proof of our faith is revealed and will ultimately result in our praise and glory and honor.

Christ Our Savior

Jim Leffel

Colossians 1:12-22

This passage summarizes in a nutshell the entire story of the Bible. It encapsulates who Christ is and what he has done as King, Creator and Redeemer. As King, he has enabled fallen man to be transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of the Son. As Redeemer, he has reconciled us by paying the debt we could never pay. As Creator, he is the source of regeneration from death into life, a new life.
