0:00 Introduction 04:19 What happens when I die? 05:22 The reason you’re feeling dry is because your attention is too focused on the things of this planet. 06:01 We’re here because we need to be reminded… 07:06 The moment we pass from this earth, we are instantly with the Lord. 07:57 1 Corinthians 13:12 08:46 The moment we pass, everything comes into perfect clarity. 09:15 Luke 23:39-43 10:36 After we die, we face the judgement of faith. 10:44 Hebrews 9:27 10:56 The outcome of this judgement determines whether you go to the present heaven or the present hell. 11:22 This decision is not based on what you have done in your lifetime, or the works you have done – but purely your faith in Jesus. 11:56 Titus 3:3-8 13:38 Every person, both those who believe and those who don’t, will be judged immediately concerning their faith in Jesus, that He is God and the way, the truth, and the life. 13:50 There are two destinations… heaven and hell. 13:55 The afterlife is a physical place. A literal place. 14:50 Let’s talk about the realities of hell. 15:13 Jesus talks about HELL more than ANYONE else… In 3 1/2yrs Jesus, himself, preached on hell 26 times. 16:35 God does not send people to hell… people choose. 17:25 Look what a few people have said about the doctrine of hell… 18:00 What happens in hell? 19:00 Luke 16:19-31 21:00 Let’s look at some of the specific details about this account. 22:04 Hell is a place of torment. 22:14 Physical torment… incurable diseases, no rest, always tired, perpetual hunger and thirst. Never full, never quenched. 23:14 Mental torment. Constant weeping, anger, constant guilt. 24:00 Acts 7:54 25:00 Relational torment…. The essence of hell is loneliness. 26:24 Complete separation from God… inability to experience the grace, love and favour of God. 26:35 Psalms 139:7-8 27:30 Utter darkness.. you don’t know who you are. 29:00 This is why we exist as a church. 29:19 The realities of heaven… 29:30 There is identity… 29:54 Revelations 6:9-11 31:00 People are distinct individuals… 31:19 Have a personal and intimate relationship with God… 31:25 Can talk with God… 31:45 They are fully aware of God’s attributes… Sovereign, Holy, True… yet are in His presence with him. 32:00 Emotional, rational, communicative and passionate beings. 32:36 They remember their time on earth. 33:00 Interceding and praying to God on behalf of the issues on earth. 33:15 There is a deep concern for JUSTICE. 34:00 It’s going to be ok… keep fighting the good fight of faith. 35:30 As heaven looks down on us.. we are encouraged to look at heaven. 35:40 Hebrews 12:1 36:00 How do we run with endurance? 36:50 Colossians 3:1-4 37:35 What is heaven like? Just look at earth. 37:41 Hebrews 9:11, 24 39:35 Jesus says that the intermediate heaven is PARADISE. 39:39 Luke 23:49 Revelations 2:7b What does paradise look like for you?
