    SC 13: The Hope of Heaven

    Posted on March 29th, 2013 by David B.

    A few passages and quotes on the believer’s hope of heaven: “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will (Continue reading…)

    SC 13: The Final Judgment

    Posted on March 29th, 2013 by David B.

    Though it’s not a popular teaching, the Bible speaks repeatedly of God’s judgment and the reality of the coming judgment for all men. Here are several passages and quotes that pastor David used in this section: “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the (Continue reading…)

    SC 13: The Horror of Hell

    Posted on March 29th, 2013 by David B.

    Pastor David covered “The Horror of Hell” in the next section. Hell is an increasingly unpopular doctrine, but one that we must hold to and proclaim as part of our Christian witness. Here are a few passages and quotations from this sobering section: “And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.” – Revelation 20:15 “They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.” – 2 Thessalonians 1:9 “All the (Continue reading…)

    SC 13: The Return of Christ

    Posted on March 29th, 2013 by David B.

    The return of Christ is sure and a foundational Christian doctrine. As pastor David notes, it will not be like His first coming: He came the first time in humility to provide salvation; He will come the second time in glory to execute judgment.  George Ladd on the timing of Christ’s second coming followed by several relevant passages: “The prophets were little interested in chronology, and the future was always viewed as imminent …. The Old Testament prophets blended the near and the distant perspectives so as to form a single canvas. Biblical prophecy is (Continue reading…)

  9. SC 13: The Resurrection of the Dead

    Posted on March 29th, 2013 by David B.

    The believer’s resurrection of the dead and indeed the gospel itself is based on whether or not Jesus rose from the dead. Based on Christ’s bodily resurrection, believer’s have the sure hope that they too will be resurrected. “Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. – 1 John 3:2 Pastor David points out that our bodies will by physical, and they will be like Christ’s (though we (Continue reading…)

    SC 13: The Intermediate State

    Posted on March 29th, 2013 by David B.

    The second topic of Secret Church 13 is The Intermediate State. So what is it? The intermediate state refers to the condition of people between their bodily death and their bodily resurrection. Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 help us in terms of how to think about the intermediate state: “For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed (Continue reading…)
