Growing in the Word

Today we'll be talking about the soon return of Christ. A Gallup Poll concluded that sixty-two percent of Americans believe that Jesus Christ will return to earth someday. If this is true, why aren't more Americans living with a sense of expectancy that Christ could return at any moment? As followers of Christ, our actions need to match our beliefs.

The future is unknown, and human beings always fear the unknown, right? Rather than fearing what is to come, we are to be faithful till Christ returns. Instead of fearing the dark, we're to be lights as we watch and wait.

Today we remember the great sacrifice Jesus made on the cross of Calvary. He died a painful and unjust death for a wonderful reason - to save us from the penalty of our sins. But if Jesus had died on the cross, and the story ended there, we would be in big trouble. But Jesus rose from the grave and walked out of the tomb, and bridged the gap between us and a perfect and Holy God.

With all of the turmoil going on in the world right now, isn't it a comfort to know that God is in control? This coming Sunday we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It's the most significant event in human history. Can you imagine going through life in this mixed-up and violent world without the promise of eternal life in heaven? That promise was cemented in stone when the Lord rose from...

As we continue our study of Revelation, pastor Jim will bring us more details about a most amazing place, The New Jerusalem.  

There are two places you can go after death, and it all depends on where you are in your relationship with Jesus Christ. That's at the core of today's message from Pastor Jim Jarrett, as we continue our study of Revelation. Your body decays in a grave, but your soul lives on forever. The question is, where?

Today, the topic will once again be one of pastor Jim's favorites - heaven! Heaven is a real place. The bible quite carefully describes it's dimensions, and many of it's physical characteristics. It's a place every Christian should be looking forward to seeing with great anticipation. John saw a vision of heaven in Revelation twenty one.

On today's program, we bring you another message in Jim's series in Revelation. The key question we'll examine once again today is, now that we know what's in store for this world, what are we going to do about it? We go to school for twelve or so years and are expected to use what we've learned to make our way in society. In much the same way, God has given us the information here in Revelation a...

There are two places you can go after death, and it all depends on where you are in your relationship with Jesus Christ. That's at the core of today's message from Pastor Jim Jarrett, as we continue our study of Revelation. Your body decays in a grave, but your soul lives on forever. The question is, where?  

What happens when we die? That question has been asked by virtually every person who has ever lived, and it continues to be a source of discussion today. In our study of Revelation chapter twenty one today, we'll see our questions about life after death answered by God Himself. The plain fact is,   every person has an eternal life waiting for them. The difference is in where you spend the time.

Heaven. Have you ever contemplated what that experience will be like? Most of us have, but every person's idea of Heaven is probably unique. We'll be in Revelation chapter twenty one today, and Pastor Jim will help us understand what Heaven will really be like, according to God himself.

As believers, we are indeed bound for another world. Earth may be our current dwelling place, but we are citizens of heaven and that just happens to be the topic of today's broadcast.

To those who have learned to love and trust Jesus, the prospect of meeting Him face to face and being with him forever is the hope that keeps us going, no matter what life may throw at us. This is Growing in the Word with pastor Jim Jarrett. Today we're in Revelation twenty one.

As we make our way through each day, we are faced with a barrage of circumstances - some good, some not so good. It's in those not so good times when a word of encouragement from the Lord really comes in handy. We'll look at such a passage today on Growing in the Word

Having talked about The Great White Throne Judgment over the last several programs, we now turn the page to discover a brighter day on the horizon for believers in Christ.   Revelation twenty one describes our future home, and pastor Jim is here to give us a guided tour.

We are going to wrap up pastor Jim's study in Revelation twenty today. This is the last time we'll look at the Millennial Kingdom, and what a time it is going to be one day, when the Lord returns to reign over the earth for a thousand years. It's going to be an amazing time for Christians. Are you ready?

What's your attitude toward sin? Many people look around them and say, "well, it's no big deal, I guess, because everyone else is doing it too". That attitude is in direct conflict with God's attitude. God hates sin. It's what separates us from Him. If you're looking for a good example of the consequences of unrepentant sin, we will be in Revelation twenty today, as we again look at the great whit...

Today's broadcast centers around the Great White Throne Judgment,   a time in the not-so-distant future when Christ will sit in judgment of sin once and for all.  

We're talking about judgment day today. It's not everyone's favorite subject. But, nevertheless we will all face it one day. Pastor Jim is in Revelation, chapter twenty.

Today on the program, we'll continue our study in Revelation chapter twenty. Throughout the last several weeks of our study - we've seen a battle take place with a casualty count that makes any terrorist attack pale in comparison. Satan and his minions were thoroughly and completely defeated, yet God will allow him one more opportunity to cause havoc on earth. It's the last stand of Satan.

  We have a very interesting program in store for you today as we continue in Revelation twenty. The text is all about the judgment in store for satan when the Lord Jesus Christ returns to reign for a thousand years. And of course we'll also delve further into the events surrounding the triumphal return of Jesus Christ to the earth.

In Revelation chapter twenty we hear of what the world will be like when the Lord not only takes away our sin but satan and sinners too! Everything will change. Hope and change are both popular buzz words today, but these changes are really remarkable to behold!  

  In Revelation chapter twenty we're given a description of what's certain to occur in our future - the Devil will be bound and cast into the bottomless pit. The Saints will be ruling on thrones with the Lord! If this wasn't the inspired word of God it would be too fantastic to believe! Yet it is God's word and it is true.

There are a quite a few differing opinions surrounding the Millennium.   But, there's no need to divide over it because we can all agree on the bottom line -- that Jesus Christ is indeed coming back to establish His Kingdom once and for all!   And that's good news for every believer!  

In chapter twenty of Revelation, we read about the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ. What exactly is it and why is it a significant study for every believer? We hope to clear up those questions on today's edition of Growing in the Word. We find our place now in Revelation twenty as pastor Jim again encourages us to go directly to God's word for answers to life's questions!.
