The Difference Between Heaven and Hell - Revelation 21:5-8

October 5, 2022 • Scott Richards • Revelation 21:5–8, 2 Peter 3:10–13, 1 Corinthians 2:9, 1 John 5:3–5

With the introduction of the New Heavens and New Earth, Jesus repeats the offer He made during His earthly ministry as well as to the seven churches at the beginning of the book. Those who want fellowship with Him forever can take it freely. Those who don't want it will be respected enough to be given what they want.

1. A Heavenly Mindset does the most earthly good for those who actually know what Heaven is.
2. Water is a deliberate picture Jesus uses of the peace and satisfaction that only comes through fellowship with Him.
3. People who reject Jesus for things that come from Him will lose both Him and what they try to replace Him with.

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.
