Heaven, Hell & Everything In Between
What is Hell like?
May 5, 2024 • Pastor Jason Miller • Revelation 21:6–8, Revelation 22:12–15
Key Scripture https://www.bible.com/bible/111/rev.21.6-8 6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” https://www.bible.com/bible/111/rev.22.12-15 12 “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. 14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. Prayer Father, I thank you because you have provided a way to not just go to hHeaven, but to be free from the power of Hell in my life today through faith in your son, Jesus! I know the Enemy does not want me to hear today’s message. So, I reject the lies of the Devil. Holy Spirit, help me fix my attention and affection on Jesus this morning. Reveal the ways in my life that are not lining up with Your will and help me to live my life for Jesus! In the powerful name of King Jesus, Amen!
Building towards eternity
April 28, 2024 • Pastor Derek Crawford • 1 Corinthians 3:10–15
Key Scripture https://www.bible.com/bible/111/1co.3.10-15 10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames. ___ Prayer Dear heavenly father, Open my eyes to your presence. Let me see and feel your magnitude and glory. Allow me to experience your heart for this world and the world to come. Let me not get hung up on my own understanding or hesitation, but instead, let me fully put my trust in you. In your Holy and blessed name we pray, Amen.
Where is heaven?
April 21, 2024 • Pastor Jason Miller
Key Scripture https://www.bible.com/bible/111/rev.22.1-5 1Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. Prayer Father in heaven, Thank you for your Son, Jesus! Thank you that because of Jesus my life can be different here and now but also because of Jesus I have a future hope. Holy Spirit, open the eyes of my heart and help me understand Heaven is my ultimate home because Heaven is where you are! I confess I do not always make Jesus the center of my life. Help me to discern the lies of the Devil in my life so I might live my life in view of eternity! In the powerful and mighty name of King Jesus, Amen!
Relationships in heaven
April 14, 2024 • Pastor Jason Miller
Key Scripture https://www.bible.com/bible/111/rev.21.1-5 1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” 5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Prayer Father, thank you that every good and perfect gift comes from you. Holy Spirit, help me to hunger and thirst for God’s Kingdom in my life. I reject the lies of Satan who wants me to believe this world is all there is. I set my hope, affection and attention on Jesus and his vision for the world and for my life. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, amen!

Key Scripture https://www.bible.com/bible/111/col.3.1-4 1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
