We just launched a new 4-week series in Common Ground entitled, "What's Next?" In this series we are not looking at stuff like "what's next" for dinner. Our focus is "what's next" in the biggest picture of all...the end of life. Last week we began the study by exploring Death. Over the next three weeks, we will move into the topics of: Hell, Heaven, and Salvation. This is a series that is interesting to our students and will help them soul search. Here is the information we discussed from last Wednesday...
#1 I will die! Hebrews 9:27, “Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.”
#2 I will also live for forever! Ecclesiastes 3:11, “He has also set eternity in the hearts of men.”
#3 I will live forever in Heaven or Hell! Matthew 7:13, “Heaven can only be entered through narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad and its gate is wide enough for everyone who chooses its easy way.”
#4 I will not know when I am going to die or when Jesus will return! 2 Peter 3:10, “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.”
#5 I will die a physical death, but I do not have to die a spiritual death! Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
