September 26, 2021 • Rick Jordan Jr. • 1 Timothy 4:8, John 17:5
Eternity is almost incomprehensible. The everlasting duration of the life to come is one thing, the life we will live there is another. Examine the details of the duration of eternity. Bring the conference full circle to how the things we learn in this life will be the function of the life to come. Our labor in the Lord is not in vain!
Being caught up in the air, judged for the reward of the inheritance, living in the heavenly places is for a purpose, that is, God’s eternal purpose in Christ where all things in heaven and earth are gathered together in Christ. Examine the details of the dispensation of the fulness of times and God’s eternal purpose in Christ.
Session 6 | A Day In Thy Courts
September 25, 2021 • Brandon Smith • Psalm 84:1–10, Ephesians 1:3–23
Our hope is manifold, and each part is necessary for our faith and expectation. The heavenly places, the court(s) of God provide food for our meditation to be comforted and fervency to labor unto the Lord. Examine the details of the heavenly places; what is up there? What is our home like?
Session 5 | The Judgment Seat of Christ
September 25, 2021 • Rick Jordan Jr. • 2 Corinthians 5:9–11, Romans 14:10–11
The first stop, post our meeting in the air is judgment. Why do believers, the body of Christ, need to be judged when we already have all our sins forgiven? What will be judged by and what will we be judged for? Examine the details of the judgment seat of Christ, the reward of the inheritance, the necessity of it although we are already justified in Christ.
Session 4 | Panel
September 25, 2021 • Brandon Smith, Joshua Edwards, Rick Jordan Jr.
We wait for the glorious appearing of our Savior, an appointed event according to the mystery of Christ that we ought not be ignorant of. Examine the glory of the body of Christ’s meeting in the air, our bodily resurrection, the imminent nature of it, and other details you would like to include.
Session 2 | Absent, Yet Present
September 25, 2021 • Josh Strelecki • 2 Corinthians 5:1–8
For those that experience physical death prior to the rapture encounter “absent” from the body, yet “present” with the Lord. Examine the details of being absent from the body upon death, yet present with the Lord, and how this is part of our hope. The intermediate state has glory, but not the fulness of glory, include any other details that you would like.
“The life that now is” is the present time in which we live. What are we to be doing? What impact does it have for “the life that is to come”? Is there any connection? Examine the objective(s) of the Spirit by His Word in this life and the connection between those things and the life to come.
