Episode Title:Lesson 2 – Eternal RewardsSeries:This World Is Not My HomeEpisode Description:What happens after this life? In Lesson 2 of our series This World Is Not My Home, we turn our hearts toward eternity and explore what Scripture teaches about eternal rewards.Rooted in Colossians 3:1–4, this message helps us lift our eyes above earthly things and focus on our eternal future. We discuss the two eternal destinations—Heaven and Hell—and what follows:• The Great White Throne Judgment – for unbelievers (Revelation 20)• The Judgment Seat of Christ – for believers (2 Corinthians 5:10)We also explore the heavenly rewards believers can receive:• The Crown of Life – for those who endure trials and remain faithful• The Crown of Glory – for faithful shepherds and teachers• The Crown of Rejoicing – for soul-winnersThis episode challenges us to live intentionally for Christ today, with eternity in mind. What you do now truly matters forever.Scripture References:Colossians 3:1–4, Revelation 20:11–15, 2 Corinthians 5:10, James 1:12, 1 Peter 5:1–4, 1 Thessalonians 2:19–20

In this week's message, Pastor Tom unpacks James 2:12–13, reminding us of the certainty of coming judgment—and the triumphant power of mercy. Drawing from both the Great White Throne and the Judgment Seat of Christ, he explores what it means to live in view of eternity. We're called not only to receive God's mercy through Christ but to do mercy—actively showing compassion to others. Judgment is real, but mercy triumphs. Pastor Tom invites us to live faithfully under the law that gives freedom, reflecting Christ's love in action.

It is appointed to man once to die, and--after that—the judgment. That's Hebrews nine, twenty-seven, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. At the end of days, there will be not one, but two separate judgments. The Great White Throne Judgment, and The Judgment Seat of Christ. What will these judgments look like, and who will be judged?  Ron has answers today as he wraps up his teaching series, “Heaven: The Father's House and My Eternal Home.” 

End Times Prophecy: The Judgment Seat of Christ 2 Corinthians 5:6-10; 1 Corinthians 3:10-15

Send us a textThe message today continues to examine the six false assumptions we make as Christians, when we sit in judgment of others.  In our last episode we spoke about the first three: assuming we can handle the responsibility of judging, mistakenly giving the impression that we are somehow superior to others, and falsely assuming we have God's authority to do it. In part 2 we will consider that last three false assumptions we make when we sit on the judgment seat.Matthew 7:1-12; James 4:10-12; Romans 14:4, 10-12"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21 PODCAST HOME: daretohopepodcast.buzzsprout.com/ EMAIL: hope@dare2hope.life FACEBOOK: Dare to Hope Ministries WEB: www.dare2hope.life

Send us a textWith this episode, we begin a new four-part series called "Judgment Free Living."  In these messages we will take a look at the significance and harmful impacts associated with our tendency to judge those around us.Part of the reason this is such an important topic for Christians to consider is because it is such a significant topic for the culture in which we live.  The subject is complicated further by the fact that quite often we think we see our friends' and neighbors' faults clearly, when in fact we are more likely seeing our own failures.With that in mind, let's listen to part one of Judgment Free Living, and consider what's wrong with the Judgment Seat all of us tend to occupy from time to time.Matthew 7:1-12; James 4:10-12; Romans 14:4, 10-12"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21 PODCAST HOME: daretohopepodcast.buzzsprout.com/ EMAIL: hope@dare2hope.life FACEBOOK: Dare to Hope Ministries WEB: www.dare2hope.life

Apr 6, 2025  GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHDr. Chris Brooks, Pastor to Pastors | Local ChurchThis sermon explores the “terrible word” of God's judgment and the “terrific opportunity” of salvation, as seen in Zephaniah 3:14-17. We often forget that God is not a distant deity, but a mighty warrior who saves, comforts, and delights in His people.   The prophet Zephaniah reveals that God's salvation comes even from His own wrath, described as “The Day of the Lord”. This sermon will dive into the significance of the Day of the Lord, including both judgment and the hope brought by Jesus Christ.   We'll discuss the specific reasons for God's judgment: indifference, idolatry of affluence, and the sin of syncretism. But even within this message of judgment, there is a call to seek the Lord, pursue righteousness, and find hope in salvation.   Ultimately, for believers, there is the “terrific opportunity” to anticipate the Judgment Seat of Christ, where we will account for our faithfulness. This sermon will encourage you to live in light of this reality.A Terrible Word & A Terrific OpportunityZephaniah 3:14-17 1. Iniquity of Indifference 2. Idolatry of Affluence 3. Sin of SyncretismMental worship… 1. Where do you need God to quiet you with his love? 2. When was the last time you experienced God delighting you with gladness? 3. In what areas have you started to act as if the Lord will neither move for good nor bad? 4.  Where are you sacrificing your integrity to save a few bucks? 5. What profane beliefs are you mixing with your sacred faith? 6. If you were to  “quest for the broadest capacity of heavenly reward possible by faithfully serving God,” what would you do differently this week? 7. How do you rejoice and express your gratitude to God for saving you from his wrath?

Paxton's message on judgment sparks conversation with this week's hosts— Josh, Paxton, Michael, and Steve— a powerful and honest conversation about what happens after we die. The team explores the reality that everyone faces judgment—either reckoning or reward—and unpacks the comforting truth that Jesus stands with us in that moment, clothing us in His righteousness. They lean into Hebrews 9:27 and reflect on how easy it is to get distracted by the day-to-day and forget about eternity, but how essential it is to live with that eternal perspective now. In true Beyond Sunday fashion, things take a hilarious turn with a special segment called Judgment Seat Confessions, where the team “charges” one another with fictional offenses. But amid the laughter, the heart of the episode centers on God's perfect judgment—never misjudging, never overlooking, always just. Paxton also shares the source of the powerful sermon illustration that came from R.C. Sproul's children's book The Priest with Dirty Clothes, which beautifully illustrates how we are covered in Christ's righteousness. Buy on Amazon – The Priest with Dirty Clothes by R.C.

Remember Luke 12 begins with Jesus warning againsthypocrisy—don't be a pretender. He cautions against covetousness—don't chasethe things of this world, because they only bring pain, worry, and fear. And Heurges us not to be careless. Why? Because He's coming back. “I will go away,but I will come again,” He promises. This isn't just a distant hope; it's acall to action. In verse 36, He paints a picture of servants waiting for theirmaster's return from a wedding, and in verse 40, He declares, “Therefore beyou also ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”This urgency frames our passage today. Jesus wants us waiting, watching, andworking when He returns. Peter has been listening to Jesus' teachings, and in verse41, he asks, “Lord, do You speak this parable only to us, or to all people?”It's a fair question. Is this just for the inner circle—the disciples—or forthe crowds too? Jesus doesn't give a simple yes or no. Instead, He respondswith a parable that broadens the scope and deepens the responsibility. Hisanswer shows this isn't limited to the Twelve; it's for every follower, everyperson who claims His name. That's you and me, friends. We're all in thisstory. In this parable Jesus describes two kinds of servants. Onewho is faithful and can be trusted and one who is careless and will bepunished. Jesus clearly points this out: “The master of that servant willcome on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is notaware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with theunbelievers” (v. 46) Jesus doesn't stop there. He then speaks of a day of accountability.One day we will all give an account of stewardship at the Judgment Seat. Asfollowers of Christ, we're stewards of God's resources. Jesus isn't justwarning us to stay busy; He's preparing us for accountability. This isn't aboutearning salvation—Jesus took care of our sins on the cross, and by faith, we'resecure in Him. But how we live matters. Some think, “I'm saved, I'm going toheaven—nothing else counts.” But that's not what the Bible teaches. Jesus andPaul both point to a moment of reckoning for believers: the judgment seat ofChrist. In Romans 14:7-10, Paul writes, “For none of us lives tohimself, and no one dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord; andif we die, we die to the Lord… For we shall all stand before the judgment seatof Christ.” This isn't the final judgment for unbelievers; it's an evaluationof our service as believers. In 1 Corinthians 3:10-15, Paul likens our lives toa building project. He laid the foundation—Christ—and we build on it. “Eachone's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will berevealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is”(v. 13). Good works endure; worthless ones burn up. We're saved, yes, but wecan still “suffer loss” in terms of rewards (v. 15).Then, in 2 Corinthians 5:10, Paul again reminds us “Forwe must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one mayreceive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whethergood or bad.” Everything we do will be judged at that judgment seat ofChrist—every idle word, we'll give an account for.” This isn't aboutfearmongering; it's about purpose. Knowing this “terror of the Lord” (v. 11),Paul persuades others to live rightly. It's a sobering motivator. In light of this we should be waiting, watching, andworking. Jesus could come at any moment—His return is unpredictable, like amaster slipping in unannounced. We can't afford to be careless, assumingthere's time to get our act together later. The faithful steward doesn't slackoff; he's diligent, using everything the master's given for His glory. Thecareless servant, though, gets distracted by the world—hypocrisy, covetousness,indulgence—and faces the consequences. 

What is the Rapture, and will believers escape the coming tribulation? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the biblical prophecies surrounding the Rapture, the seven-year period of Jacob's Trouble, and whether Christians will have to endure God's wrath. We'll break down key scriptures from the King James Bible to uncover the truth about the end times.We also explore the Judgment Seat of Christ—what it is, who will stand before it, and what it means for believers. Join me as we challenge mainstream interpretations, explore what the Bible actually says, and uncover the reality of what's coming.

Verse-by-verse through the book of 1 Corinthians!

(1 Corinthians 3:10-15) Soon we will see Jesus. There are two main events that believers in heaven will experience, after the rapture of the church, while the tribulation is taking place on earth. Each of us should be getting ready to meet God! (0971250321) ----more----  What Is Heaven? Do you ever think about what's going on in heaven? There's so many things we do know about heaven and there are many things frankly we don't know about heaven.  Heaven During the Tribulation One of the things that is very intriguing to me is what's going to go on in heaven while the tribulation is going on earth. The Lord is going to spare His church from that great tribulation. He has special things in store for us, great things planned. When we began our study most recently about the tribulation, we saw, really from an earthly perspective, what's going on with the Antichrist, here on this planet, but let's look at the same period of time, from Heaven's perspective. Basically there are two big things going on that you have to look forward to and should be thinking about. When it comes to the Lord Jesus returning for us, we're called away. We meet Him in the clouds, and then what, during that seven year period, what's going on?  The Judgment Seat of Christ The first thing that's gonna happen is you're going to stand before the Lord. It's commonly referred to in scripture as the judgment seat. Of Christ immediately after the rapture, we're going to be standing before the Lord, or should I say we're gonna be bowing before the Lord. As a matter of fact, in Revelation 4:1, the door opens in heaven and the voice says, "Come up hither." And in that very same chapter in (chapter four verse four and verse ten) the believers are seen casting their crowns at the feet of Jesus, kneeling before the throne. So we know that one of the first things that's going to  happen, though we don't know all the details of it, is we're going to stand before the Lord at what is called the judgment seat of Christ. Paul's Teachings on the Judgment Seat It's very interesting to me that the Apostle Paul seemed to talk more about this to the church at Corinth, than any other church. Let me share what I'm talking about. First Corinthians chapter three, beginning in verse number ten, says this, "10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." He said, we're in a spiritual building program. Be careful how you build. And then he says this in verse 12, "12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire." He says that there's coming a day that is going to declare the truth about your life.I don't know about you, but that's thought-provoking to me. The day shall declare it. It's not about your salvation in this passage. You don't go into the fire, but your works do. You are spared the fire. Praise God. I'm not going to hell because I've trusted Christ as my personal Savior, but though my soul cannot be lost, I can lose rewards. On that day, anything that was not of eternal value was gonna be burned up. I wonder, when we stand before God someday, what will we have? I'm thinking now of the old hymn: must I go empty-handed? Must I meet my savior so? Not one soul, with which to greet Him? Must I empty-handed go?" I wonder if we'll have anything when we stand before the Lord on that day. He goes on in 1 Corinthians, listen to these words in chapter nine. He's speaking personally as far as a testimony and he says this in chapter 9 in verse number 25, "And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway." He borrows from the Olympics of the day, the Greek games where the rewards were given, and the people would come before, before what was referred to as a bema seat, they were thrown like platforms where judges sat and there they were rewarded. He uses the same language, the same terminology for the judgment seat of Christ, the bema. Seat on that day. We're standing before the Lord for rewards. He continues to the church at Corinth and second Corinthians, his second letter to them, chapter five, listen to the words beginning in verse number nine. He says,"9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." Basically, the judgment seat of Christ is a time of reward and loss of reward. Only believers will be there first. Are you going to be there? If you're not sure you're saved, you need to settle that first. Get that matter settled because if you don't know the Lord Jesus as your Savior, there's an awful judgment awaiting you called the Great White Throne Judgment. We'll talk about that soon in our study of what the Bible says about the end of time. Settle the matter of your soul's salvation. And then if you know the Lord Jesus as your personal Savior, determined by the grace of God that you're gonna live every day in light of the day, you're going to stand before Jesus Christ. Because I wanna submit to you on the authority of the Word of God. That could be any moment, any day Christ could come. Any day, we could be caught away, and any day, we could stand face to face with Almighty God to give an account of our lives. And I want to ask you, what if that were today? What if you knew that in the next four minutes, you were going to stand before the Lord in the next four minutes? Not that this study would end, that your life would end that time, as it would end. And in the next four minutes, you were gonna stand face to face with the Lord. What would you do differently then? Do that now. Because any moment Jesus could come, and this is a second thing that takes place during that seven-year period here on Earth. I'll remind you that there's no time in heaven. So it's hard to say seven years in heaven because there's no time there.  The Marriage Supper of the Lamb But during the period where the tribulation is expiring here on Earth, not only are we going, coming to the judgment seat of Christ to answer to the Lord, but then there's gonna be a great celebration it's referred to in scripture as the marriage supper of the lamb. Let me read to you from Revelation 19:6 says, "6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb." We know in Ephesians chapter five that the church is represented as the bride and Christ as the bridegroom. Let me tell you, there's a wedding coming, and not only are we going to be presented to our bridegroom, but then we're going to celebrate together prior to returning with him to this earth. There's a wonderful supper, a marriage, supper. You've never attended a supper like that. And we're going to be there. We are the bride, and Christ is the groom. In Western culture, the wedding day really is all about the bride, but in eastern culture it was about the groom. Might I say to you that the day we're looking forward to is the day that the groom comes for us. Here comes the Groom. Can you see Him ready in all of His glory to catch us away? Yes, we're going to answer to Him, but then we're gonna celebrate with Him, and we're going to be with Him for all eternity.  Are You Ready to Go to Heaven? I hope you're getting ready to meet God, because I'm telling you, you're getting ready to meet God Soon we're gonna see Jesus Christ, face to face. What a time we're going to have. Whatever it is you need to do to get ready for that day, do it today. May the Lord help all of us to live in light of the soon return of Jesus Christ.  Outro and Resources Repeating what other people have said about the Bible is not enough. We must know the biblical reason behind what we believe. We hope you will visit us at etj.bible to access our Library of Bible teaching resources, including book-by-book studies of scripture. You'll also find studies to watch, listen to, or read. We are so grateful for those who pray for us, who share the biblical content and for those who invest to help us advance this ministry worldwide. Again, thank you for listening, and we hope you'll join us next time on Enjoying the Journey.

Pastor Chris studies the Judgment Seat of Christ, a judgment every Christian will participate in, from 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 

TWO HEAVEN SUBJECTS: Talk about Cremation and then, questions about the Judgment Seat

An Audience Of One Sermon Series

The Church is the body of Christ, the bride of Christ, and the New Jerusalem where God will once again and for all eternity “dwell with man”. God's glory will be forever made manifest in the thing for which He shed His own blood – the Church of Jesus Christ. The Lamb's wife, the bride of Christ, does something very important to “ger herself ready” for the big day we see laid out in Revelation 19 – and it's called the Judgment Seat of Christ!

How should we, as believers, approach the Judgment Seat of Christ? With fear? Doubt? Or with joy? In this message, we unpack what it means to stand before Jesus with confidence—knowing that His grace has covered us and that our lives are meant to reflect His glory. This is not a moment of terror but of reward for those who are in Him! Drop a comment below: How does this change the way you live today?

The Bible tells us that there are three occasions of judgment from God. Which one you will face depends on who you are and what you have done (or not done), but the Bible says “we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:10). The three Judgments to come are (1) The Judgment of the Sheep and Goats (also called The Judgment of the Nations), (2) The Great White Throne Judgment, and (3) The Judgment Seat of Christ. In today's teaching, Pastor Gary breaks down the differences between these three judgments and helps us to be prepared for the one we will each have to face.

What we do in secret matters to God. In this powerful message, we explore how our private actions, thoughts, and faithfulness shape our spiritual lives and determine the rewards we receive at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Through biblical examples like King David and Uriah, and Jesus' teachings in Matthew 6, we see how God honors those who give, pray, and worship in secret. Are you living for His approval or the applause of others? Watch this message and be encouraged to cultivate a heart that seeks God in the unseen moments of life! #Faith #JudgmentSeatOfChrist #LivingForGod

Live drama performed by Tim Lundy 8/25/2002 Copyright from book "The Bema: A Story about the Judgment Seat of Christ" by Tim Stevenson and original adaption by Pete Briscoe. 2 Cor 5:10

The thief on the cross had a live-changing experience when he came face-to-face with the Lord Jesus on the cross at Calvary. He started out with his other malefactor friend, casting aspersions into the teeth of Jesus, then something happen. He got a good, long look at the "man in the middle" of his particular situation, and that led to an abrupt "parting of the ways" between himself and his friend, between his new life and his old life. My message today is a simple one, the first part of it is a reminder of the parting of the ways that took place when you got saved. That's easy to understand. The harder part is understanding that after you're saved, there needs to be another parting of the ways with what you perceive to be your time, your talent, and your treasure. All that belongs to the Lord Jesus now, He bought it when He bought you with His blood on the cross, and if you want success in your sanctification, there needs to be a parting of the ways. The degree to which you are able to do that, is the degree to which you will have a good experience at the Judgment Seat of Christ. 

We will face what is called The Judgment Seat of Christ. Jesus said that the things we say will be important on the day of judgment. God isn't going to pull your words out of context and use them against you. God isn't interested in us becoming the word police on each other. Not only do the words you say matter, but the words you should have said and didn't matter too. Your silence can be just as damaging or more than being the perpetrator. Taking the words of Jesus Himself to heart is a good place to always start. Jesus said it plainly that it isn't enough to just believe for yourself.You need to find your voice. You need to work on your story, telling others what Jesus has done for you.

On this Sunday Service, we ask you a simple question. Are you telling lost people about Heaven and Hell, and are you reminding the saints of the Judgment Seat of Christ? Frank Jenner grappled with that question until he settled it with the Lord, fulfilling his course on George Street in Sydney, Australia. How's your course coming along? What course is that, you say? The one the Lord gave you when He saved you. Saved and don't have a course? Read 2 Timothy 4:1-8, and see how Paul fulfills his course, the same Paul that all Christians are called to follow. If you haven't gotten your course yet, don't panic, this Sunday Service message is here to help you figure it out. Preached live this morning from Bethany Baptist Church in Saint Augustine, Florida.

Read Online“And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand.”  Luke 21:28This passage above concludes a series of teachings by Jesus on the suffering and persecution that will come in this world. But His teachings conclude with this line above, which offers great hope in anticipation of Jesus' return in glory. This passage speaks of the prophetic vision of Daniel (Daniel 7:13–14) that terrified Daniel when he saw it. He witnessed the great persecution to come, as well as the destruction of all evil that will accompany the return of the Son of Man.When you think about both the final coming of Christ as well as your own future death, what comes to mind? If you were informed by an angel that tomorrow would be that day, the day that the Son of Man would return in all His splendor and glory to bring about an end to this world and to issue forth His judgment upon it, how would you react? Would you be terrified? Overjoyed? Hopeful? Confused? Perhaps a little of each of these reactions would be present. Of this time, Jesus said that “nations would be in dismay” and that “People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming into the world.” So what is your reaction to this promised day of our Lord?Those who “die of fright” are clearly those who will experience this day completely unprepared. Meeting the Son of Man, the Son of God, the Savior of the World and the Eternal Judge when you are completely unprepared should be frightful. Imagine, for example, that you were hosting a large dinner party and you got your days mixed up. The day arrived and you weren't expecting anyone until the following week, but the guests started to arrive in great numbers. Imagine your anxiety and embarrassment. Such an experience would be nothing compared to being unprepared for the judgment of Christ when we stand before Him at the time of our death and then at the Final Judgment at the end of the world.The good news is that on that day, for those who are truly prepared through a life of faith and selfless service of God's will, they are told to “stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand.” If you do all you can to prepare for that day, then it will be a day in which you anticipate with the utmost hope and excitement. You will indeed be able to stand erect, turn your eyes to the coming Judge of All, and receive the eternal reward that He so deeply desires to bestow. But this will be your experience only if you are truly ready for that day through a life lived in complete imitation of Christ. Reflect, today, upon that final day. Imagine every person ever created standing before the Judgment Seat of Christ. Every sin and every virtue will be made manifest on that day. The minds and hearts of all will be seen in the light as they are revealed to all by God. And those who have lived lives of fidelity will rejoice as they see God's justice and His mercy unite as His judgments are issued forth. If this day is one that frightens you, consider the reasons why. If you do not look forward to this definitive moment in time, then perhaps you need to ponder more deeply those things you need to do so as to be fully prepared. Prepare yourself today. Do not wait. Our Lord could return at any time. Do not be caught off guard. My eternal Judge, You promise to return to earth at a definitive moment in time to bring about the fullness of justice. May I always be prepared for that day through a life lived in union with You and Your holy will. I pray for that day to come quickly, dear Lord, and that all Your children will be ready to meet You when You come. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Do we hear enough about the Judgment Seat of Christ where every Christian must give an account of how his or her life was used? Some theologies dismiss this judgment altogether seeing only one judgment called The Great White Throne. This results in salvation by works because that is the criteria for the GWT judgment. Even in churches and with preachers who believe in the JSOC, this event is not taught much. Maybe as a consequence many Christians live carelessly not knowing or caring that they will be held accountable by Christ. Charlie sits down with Dr. Paul Weaver to discuss this issue from Charlie's GraceNotes no. 105. This podcast is a re-broadcast of Dr. Weaver's Bible and Theology Matters podcast and YouTUbe video. The JSOC is for believers only; the GWT is for unbelievers only. It is crucial that Christians keep an accurate and applicable view of the Judgment Seat of Christ.   Dr. Weaver served with Word of Life as dean in their Bible Institutes in Hungary and New York before becoming an Associate Professor of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary.

One of the many recurring messages found in your King James Bible has to do with time and the length of our days here upon the Earth. Many a man, and woman, have found themselves 'in departing' without ever realizing that we all come with an expiration date. Moses had one, Aaron had one, Paul had one, and Christian, so do you, and it is in your best interest to find out a little something about it. That's the subject of my message today for this Sunday Service. One main reason for wanting to uncover what God has to say about our appointed time is because we all will give an account for how we spent it. Do you realize that time is the only currency that people spend without ever checking their balance? Lost people will give an account for their time at the Great White Throne Judgment found in Revelation 20, and saved people will give an account for how we spent our time at the Judgment Seat of Christ found in places like 2 Corinthians 5:10. The message of this lost world has always been "Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think", and the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ is to "redeem the time for the days are evil". Only you can decide how you spend the time you have left, but saved or lost, you will give an account.

In tonight’s equipping message, We discuss in detail the five books and crowns awaiting the believer in Heaven at the Judgment Seat of Christ.

What will these judgments look like, and who will be judged?  Ron has answers today as he wraps up his teaching series, “Heaven: The Father's House and My Eternal Home.”   --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/something-good-radio/support

Have you ever received a gift you didn't deserve? This is exactly what happens at the judgment seat of Christ. The Bible is filled with hints of what this event might be like for us. Jill discusses a couple of them for us to try and paint us a picture. Not only do we receive the gift of dwelling in heaven when Christ died on the cross for us, we also get rewarded for the things that Christ did through us while we were on earth.

JAMES BIBLE STUDY Grab a copy today on my Amazon Author Book Shelf! HB WOMENS FACEBOOK GROUPTodays PointsThe concept of two judgment seats often refers to the distinct judgments that believers and non-believers will face according to Christian theology.The Judgment Seat of Christ (Bema Seat): This is for believers, where they are evaluated on their faithfulness and works. It's not about salvation but rewards—what they did with the gifts and opportunities given to them. This emphasizes the importance of living a life of service and obedience to God.The Great White Throne Judgment: This is for non-believers, where final judgment occurs based on their rejection of God and His offer of salvation. It underscores the seriousness of choosing to accept or reject faith in Christ.In terms of salvation, these judgments highlight that salvation itself is based on faith in Christ, while our works and choices as believers will determine our rewards in eternity. This duality reinforces the importance of both faith and a life lived in accordance with that faith.We can walk away focusing on ❤️The Royal Law❤️Partiality❤️Judgement and Mercy❤️accountability❤️REFLECTION of God's Character❤️Community and Unity! Thank you for listening! Please share with a friendxoHB

Discover the Power of Community!We invite you to watch a compelling message from our guest speaker and dear friend of Hope City Church, Mark Mateer, as he explores the vital topic of "Community." In this sermon, Mark highlights that even while more than half of us might identify as introverts, every person needs a community. We're not meant to walk this journey alone; we're called to be a part of something greater—something that gives us the chance to truly become the hands and feet of Jesus.Through the story of the Prodigal Son, Mark paints a vivid picture of what it's like to long for connection and sustenance in a world where "no one gave him anything." He reminds us that we, too, live in a world where many feel alone and unseen. But as followers of Christ, we are called to make a difference. He also draws on Matthew 25, where Jesus commends those who do what they can for "the least of these," and takes us to the Judgment Seat of Christ, reminding us that God takes note of everything we do.Mark challenges us with two significant questions we will be asked in heaven:1) "What did you do with my Son?"2) "What did you do for my Son?"These questions serve as a powerful reminder of the purpose of community. In community, we find the opportunity to serve, love, and support one another, reflecting Jesus' love to the world around us. It's in community that we become His hands and feet, doing His work on earth.We encourage you to join us in watching this message and to reflect on your role in your own community. Let's explore together how we can better live out our faith, support one another, and be a light in a world that so desperately needs it.Don't miss this powerful message! Watch now and be inspired to embrace the true essence of community.
