DO YOU believe in the afterlife?
"You have FAITH in God-have faith also in me-In my FATHER'S HOUSE there are many dwelling places........And if I go and PREPARE a place for you-I will come back again and take you to myself........"
John 14:1-3
It is A GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in God's LOVE for us and a GREAT day to be looking forward to SPENDING ETERNITY with him

THE GATES OF HELL
You have heard the expression
“A living hell”
I have---and at times
During this life
I have felt
Like nothing could be worse
But is hell a real place
The hereafter
Between health problems-financial problems
And relationship problems
Sometimes I feel like
Nothing could ever be worse
Than this place
DO YOU EVER FEEL THAT WAY?
How do you think Job felt
Do you think that he felt
That wicked people
Sometimes go unpunished
Do you think
He ever felt like
No place could ever be worse than this place
JOB WAS ALIVE
What if our job is
To bring a little bit of HEAVEN to earth
Murder, rape, sexual child abuse
Fraud---bilking our seniors out of their last pennies
If there is a place worse than this
I KNOW this
I don’t want to be there
This place can be bad enough
In Matthew 13---Jesus tells us this story,
“The kingdom of heaven
Is like a mustard seed
Which a man took and planted
In his field
Though it is the smallest
Of all your seeds
Yet when it grows
It is the largest of garden plants
And becomes a tree
So that the birds of the air
Come and birch in its branches”
Matthew 13:31 & 32
I am NOT trying to say
That there is no hell
I KNOW BETTER than that
I’m just saying
What if it is our job
To plant a seed
While we are here on this earth
And let it grow
In to a little bit of heaven
Our world is under attack
Our country is under attack
Out families and children are under attack
And God, Christ, and our churches
Are under attack
From evil forces
Let us all PLANT some seeds
And watch them grow
“And I tell you
That you are Peter
And on this rock
I will build my church
And the gates of hell
Will not overcome it”
Matthew 16:18
