What We Believe, 10 of 11 from August 24th, 2025

"Until Christ returns we’re on mission: inviting our neighbors to meet and follow Jesus."

Future Life by Matt Wheelock

SUMMARY

This sermon explores the concept of future life and end times in Christian theology. It emphasizes the importance of understanding eschatology as a driving force for the church's mission to invite others to follow Jesus. Pastor Matt discusses the return of Christ, the rapture, tribulation, and final judgment, culminating in the creation of a new heaven and earth. The message underscores the urgency of sharing our faith with our lost neighbors and the hope believers have in eternal life with God.

REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

• 💬 How does your understanding of future events impact your willingness to share your faith with others?

• 💬 Believers will one day stand before the judgment seat of Christ where our works will be tested "by fire" (1 Corinthians 3:10-15). How does this future accountability affect how you live your daily life now?

• 💬 “Despite all the stresses that we have, despite all the brokenness we feel every day... God has a plan. It's perfect." In what area of your life do you most need to trust that God has a perfect plan?
