THE WHEAT AND THE TARES (Matthew 13:24-43)

As a believer, you have been placed in this world as the ambassador of Jesus Christ. Your mission is to share the gospel of Christ.  Satan hates everything that God does, so he has placed his own agents in the world right alongside the ambassadors of Jesus Christ. Their mission is to dilute the message of the gospel of Christ. They are to deceive those who hear the message of Christ with their own version of it. They are to destroy the message of the gospel of Christ. The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares is a story from Jesus that describes the world that we live in today. How God's messengers are hard at work, and what Satan is trying to do to stop it. Listen to this podcast to discover how believers are to respond to the work of Satan's agents and what will happen at the time of the harvest.

THE ORDER OF THE RESURRECTIONS (1 Cor. 15:20-28)

Contrary to what most religions will tell you, there is not just one general resurrection where, based on their works, God chooses the good from the bad, and the good go to heaven and the bad go to hell. 

 

Absolutely not.  There are multiple resurrections and they each have an important role in fulfilling God’s plan for the redemption of a sin-cursed earth and a sinful man. 

 

In this verse-by-verse study of 1 Cor. 15:20-28 Paul tells us the order of these resurrections, and we will discuss which of the resurrections each of us will participate in, based on one single question, “Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, or not?”

 

Listen as Paul tells us that there is something beyond the grave for each of us, and we get to choose what that is. 

To Be Found Faithful (1 Cor. 3:14-17)

Does the believer care about the rewards or position that they might receive at the Judgment Seat of Christ? If there is no envy or pride in heaven, is it important to even worry about the rewards?This is a good question.  In this week's lesson we talk about how God's Word answers this question.As you listen to this, I want you to challenge your perspective on the question.  Are you looking at the question as it relates to what you receive, or what the Lord sees and thinks about what you have done? This study is a verse-by-verse study of 1 Corinthians 3:14-17.  It discusses the question of why do we want to be found faithful at the Judgment Seat of Christ.

The Judgment Seat of Christ (1 Cor. 3:9-13)
