Christ Covenant Church
Behind every vote that is cast in an election is a deep personal belief and conviction. Our beliefs determine our future. “Behind the Vote” is not about politics. It’s about why we believe what we believe as Christ followers.
During these unprecedented Sundays, Christ Covenant is putting you in control. You ask the questions you’ve always wanted to ask. Nothing is off limits. We will answer, simply and honestly and dig into God’s Word. Then, you decide what you really believe.
If you’ve ever had tough questions about God or the Bible, this is for you. Or maybe you have a friend who’s skeptical about God that you want to invite. Nowhere are we told to accept Christianity on blind faith. If it can’t stand up to honest questions, it doesn’t deserve to be relied on. Come, let your voice be heard. And leave knowing what you believe and why.
FIRST QUESTION:ARE WE LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS?
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 NIV
1 Thessalonians 5:1-6 NIV
Matthew 24:14 NIV
01. ENCOURAGE US
1 THESSALONIANS 4:18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
02. PREPARE US
1 THESSALONIANS 5:6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.
QUOTE:“Many people find it difficult to believe in this great event without trying to guess its date, or even without accepting as a certainty the date that any quack or hysteric offers them… [Jesus] teaching on the subject [however] quite clearly consisted of three propositions: (1) That He will certainly return (2) That we cannot possibly find out when (3) And that therefore we must always be ready for Him.”
- C. S. Lewis
SECOND QUESTION: WHAT WILL HEAVEN & HELL BE LIKE?
Matthew 25:31-33 NIV
HELL:
- It wasn’t created for us.
- Those there will experience eternal fire.
- Cursing never ends.
- There is no second chance.
HEAVEN:
- It was created for us.
- Those there will experience eternal life.
- Blessing never ends.
- There is security.
