In a perfect world, we will see perfect government and a perfect environment. The people who will enjoy it will be the same kind of people enjoying the reason it became that way. Our relationship with God today is preparation for how much more we will enjoy Him and the things He has for us to do into eternity. The only thing standing in the way of fully appreciating those promises are the lies, distortions, and distractions offered by the enemy. Our response to his one and only threat is through His Word where those promises can be found.

1. The only influence the enemy has over us is false doctrine.
2. Knowing the promises of God only give us more to look forward to.
3. This life is preparation for our eternal calling as kings and priests representing God to His Creation.

Dancing With Damnation

November 2, 2022 • Scott Richards, Sean Richards • Revelation 22:18–21, 1 Thessalonians 5:20–22, Deuteronomy 4:2–4, Deuteronomy 18:18–22

The closing words of Revelation continue the trend we've seen since the beginning of the book. With a quotation of the Old Testament, we're reminded to have high standards for what we hear from God and even higher levels of accountability for what we say about God. False teachers don't fear accountability. True followers of Jesus will consider the challenge of testing everything they hear as worth the effort if it means they know they're really hearing from their Lord. 1. False teachers don't fear accountability from God. 2. True prophets will always affirm what God's already revealed about Himself. 3. Deeper fellowship with Jesus is worth the effort of having high standards for prophecy.

Revelation Wrap Up

October 26, 2022 • Scott Richards • Revelation 1:1–3, John 6:27–28, Numbers 24:15–17, Revelation 22:6–17

The focus of prophecy is Jesus. The purpose of prophecy is revealing who Jesus is. The intention of prophecy is further appreciation of all that we have in Jesus. 1. The purpose of prophecy is to reveal who Jesus is. 2. The Bible is a self-interpreting book. Incomplete knowledge results in incomplete understanding. 3. Prophecy is the most practical aspect of personal bible study.

Paradise Found

October 19, 2022 • Scott Richards • Ezekiel 47:1–12, John 7:37–40, Matthew 11:28–30, Revelation 22:1–5

With the restoration of God and man finally complete, a series of fulfilled promises are drawn attention to representing our eternal relationship with God. In the River of Life, we see the Holy Spirit. In the Tree of Life, we see our fellowship with the Father. And in the jobs we will have to do, we will serve the Son. 1. The Tree of Life represents the fellowship with the Father we lost in Eden. 2. The River of Life represents the Fellowship with the Holy Spirit we can even enjoy today. 3. Eternal Life is knowing the Son face to face.
