Temporary v. Eternal
26 November 2008
Youth Ministry
Ecclesiastes - What’s important to us says much about who we are and what we believe. Everyday, the masses are convinced to put their treasure, joy and hope in what is temporary. Beauty, intelligence, health, etc. are all temporary and meaningless. But giving your heart to the Lord, and leading others to the Lord has eternal and lasting value. So live for things which are eternal, not things which are temporary!

The Beatitudes, part 3

Grace to You, John MacArthur
The Old Testament ends with a warning of a curse: “…lest I come and smite the earth with a curse” Mal. 4:6. In juxtaposition to the Old Testament, the New Testament begins with a promise of blessing during Jesus Christ’s Sermon on the Mount. We call these blessings The Beatitudes.
The Old Testament law demonstrates man’s need for salvation. The New Testament offers a Savior – the Lord Jesus Christ. The Beatitudes explain the reason for cursing and indicate that man does not possess his own righteousness by which he could escape the wrath of God. The blessedness Christ offers is not dependent on self-effort or self-righteousness, but on the new nature God gives.
Christ offers blessings instead of cursing to those who sincerely accept righteousness and salvation on His terms.
Why is the Resurrection of Christ so Important?

Youth Ministry
1 Corinthians 15 - Everyday we exercise faith, trusting in things not seen. Yet many do not think about the importance of trusting in Jesus Christ’s resurrection. If He was not raised from the dead, then our hope and faith are in vain. Yet Christ is indeed raised, and this is the foundational truth of our faith and of our lives.

The Shrewd Manager

Youth Ministry
Luke 16:1-13 - Nothing that we have is “ours.” We are merely managers of the resources, talents, and time which God has given to us. And like the manager in this parable, we should use these resources wisely. Our goal should be to use our earthly resources to store up true rewards in heaven.

In his series of lectures on the Holy Spirit, the lecturer addresses certain questions, which are foundational for a proper understanding of the Gospel and correct formulation of sound Bible teaching. The questions addressed are drawn from such issues as:
Prophets and apostles of the New Testament
False prophets and false apostles of our time
True believers and false believers
Pentecostals and Charismatics
Objective and subjective faith
Gifts of the Holy Spirit: speaking in tongues, healing the sick
Spiritual baptism
Born Christians and those who are not born-again.
