As human beings our lives are largely consumed by those things that we think are important at any given time. In reality, however, often those things we think are so important are of fleeting significance, and will soon be forgotten. Those things that truly are important, however, and that are of lasting significance, are commonly given scant attention. The true destiny God desires for human beings is not only a subject about which most people know virtually nothing, but it’s also a subject to which most people give little thought or concern.

Fulfilled Prophecy a Proof of God and the Bible
How do we really know God exists? How do we really know that God answers prayers and keeps his word? How do we really know even what his word is?
Many people, in reality the vast majority, live their lives with little or no knowledge of or regard for the true God. There are many who scoff at the idea that God actually intervenes in a decisive way in the affairs of men and nations (2 Peter 3:3-4).
Fulfilled prophecy is one of the primary proofs not only that God exists, but of his identity as the God of the Bible, and of the Bible’s authority as the Word of God (Isaiah 40:18, 22-25; 41:21-23; 45:21-22).
Smoke Ascends Forever?
Will the wicked really be tormented forever in hell? In this sermon, pastor Rod Reynolds examines in detail passages in the book of Revelation that have traditionally been used to establish the common belief in a never-ending hellfire reserved for punishment of the wicked. To understand what the Bible says about hell, we must carefully study the context of the scriptures in question.

The Hope of the Resurrection
This final of the seven annual festivals commanded by God to be kept by his people, an annual Sabbath, an eighth day, associated with but following the Feast of Tabernacles, is called the last day, the “great [Greek, megas, great or high] day of the Feast” (Leviticus 23:39; John 7:31). This feast looks forward to a time following the Millennial period, when there will be a general resurrection. In order to understand how God’s plan of salvation for mankind will be fully accomplished, this period cannot be overlooked.

What Will it be like to be in the First Resurrection?
How often have you thought about the rewards God promises to those faithful to Him? When you think about it the magnitude of God’s promises to us are staggering, if we repent of our sins and prove faithful. We are told that those who are Christ’s will be resurrected at his coming.
In this flesh we are born, grow up, and even if all goes well, soon enough we reach the point of death. Often people spend years pursuing pleasure and happiness, but in the end look around and say, “Is this all there is?”
Happily, for those who know and obey the truth, this is not all there is. In this message, “What Will it be like to be in the First Resurrection?”, we catch a glimpse of the magnificent promises God makes regarding those who are privileged to be in the first resurrection.
