Review: Hell matters because…
1. God will do something about Satan and sin.
2. Jesus wants us to know the truth.
3. Our choices, and our life on earth, matters.
Discuss why/how the reality of hell should inspire outreach and evangelism.
Bible Readings: 1 Corinthians 15:50-58 and Revelation 4
What do these passages teach us about the afterlife, and in particular heaven? (Feel free to really work these passages over!)
Review: What will NOT be in heaven…
Review: What WILL be in heaven…
Heaven matters because:
It is our hope for the future and our purpose for the present.
Discuss the crowns we might receive in heaven:
The Imperishable or Incorruptible Crown (1 Cor. 9:25-27)
The Crown of Righteousness (2 Tim. 4:8)
The Crown of Rejoicing (1 Thes. 2:19-20)
The Crown of Glory (1 Peter 5:4)
The Crown of Life (James 1:12, Rev. 2:10)
The Hope of Heaven:
We will be HOME.
We will be KNOWN.
We will be FOREVER.
We will worship God FACE TO FACE.
The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift his countenance upon you and give you peace.
~ Numbers 6:24-26
