5 | Living with the Eternal View

Week 1: Jesus' Commission

September 22, 2022 • Matthew 19:20–22

In a world where many of us are affluent by global standards, we likely need to honestly assess how possessions, wealth, convenience, and comfort are affecting us. The real question is what do you value most, and will you choose to hold on to it or follow Jesus? Take time in this session to face these challenging questions head-on and settle them in your heart.

When you keep eternity in mind, it changes the way you think.
When you live with an eternal perspective, nothing matters more than what Jesus is asking you to do.
Living with an eternal view reminds us why dying to ourselves and living for Jesus every day is worth it.

1 | The Reality of Eternity

September 22, 2022 • Matthew 6:19–21

In the light of eternity, what we make a priority in our lives differs greatly from the rest of our culture. This session lays the foundation for how we as believers are to invest our time, talent, and treasure. After this life, you will spend eternity in one of two places, heaven or hell. Don’t spend your life on that which doesn’t last … spend it on eternity. How you live your life on this earth determines where/how you will spend your eternity.

2 | The Reality of Hell

September 22, 2022 • Revelation 20:15

It’s been said that we cannot really appreciate the good news of the gospel without first understanding the bad news. Those who reject the way of salvation are headed to a place of eternal torment. Likewise, those who are believers in name only and not in action are in dangerous territory. Learn more in this sobering session. Hell is a real, agonizing place that will last forever for all who go there. Jesus said, “Many will say to Me, Lord, Lord…” and yet He will respond by saying, “…depart from Me.” We need to be very sure that we’re on the right track and not headed for a shocking conversation with Jesus where He tells us to “depart” into everlasting fire. We cannot sit idly in comfort and allow people around us to unknowingly be on their way to destruction.

3 | The Reality of Heaven

September 22, 2022 • Matthew 6:19–21

For a place where we will spend the vast majority of our existence, most of us don’t spend much time pondering the reality of heaven, the glorious eternal home of born-again believers. Allow this session to stir your heart with expectation for this wonderful destination, so that you will share the good news with others! Heaven is a real place that’s even better than you think! What we do on this earth not only affects whether or not we get to heaven but the rewards waiting for us when we get there. We need to share the good news with people that no matter what pain they’ve had in this life, there is a better one coming when they give their life to the Lord.
