People love movies. Whether it’s sci-fi, fantasy, romance, or action, a good film cannot only entertain you, it can mark you. The most epic films are filled with epic truth that can help you live an epic life. Every miracle in the Bible starts with a problem. Joshua 5-17. Before every miracle I’ll need a commitment. Consecrate means “to separate, or to devote, make holy”. To dedicate ourselves to God above all else. To focus on God more than other things. In the miracle of the parting of the Jordan River, God was already working upstream. Today God still works upstream in our lives.

Luke 23:44-49. John 11:1,3. With God, a waiting season is never a wasted season. God’s delays are not necessarily God’s denial. John 11:4-5. Waiting is not about a God who is distant from us, but it’s revealing of how close we are to Him. If God always met your expectations, He’d never have the opportunity to exceed them. The only thing harder than waiting on God is wishing that you had.

To say we all have questions about what happens after our life here on earth is over might be the biggest understatement in history. The truth about the FlipSide is that it’s closer than you think when it comes to eternity. I Thess 4:13-14. Jesus is coming again. We have the hope. Find out what harpazo means. Seth talks about the rapture.

To say we all have questions about what happens after our life here on earth is over might be the biggest understatement in history. The truth about the FlipSide is that it’s closer than you think when it comes to eternity. Luke 16:19-26. Everyone is fully conscious after they die. Everyone lives forever somewhere. There are 4 cultural assumptions about eternity that are incorrect. Hell is a physical place. It is a permanent place. It is a choice. 2 Peter 3:9. God is not willing that any should perish. “Hell is the backdrop that reveals the profound and unbelievable grace of the cross. It bring to light the enormity of our sin and therefore portrays the undeserved favor of God in full color. Francis Chan.”

To say we all have questions about what happens after our life here on earth is over might be the biggest understatement in history. The truth about the FlipSide is that it’s closer than you think when it comes to eternity. Rev 21:1-3 “a new heaven and a new earth.” God’s plan for this world has always been becoming in the end what He intended from the beginning. Rom 8:22. The whole of creation has been groaning. We have an inner groaning and yearning. What do we do with that? What you believe about death and eternity will determine how you live. We should have a different motivation, attitude, and life.

To say we all have questions about what happens after our life here on earth is over might be the biggest understatement in history. The truth about the FlipSide is that it’s closer than you think when it comes to eternity. James 4:14. It’s closer than you think to what scripture says it is. It’s closer than you think to home. Romans 8:22, I Cor. 13:12, Rev 21:1-3. God’s plan for this world has always been becoming in the end what He intended from the beginning. 1. To be in relationship with our creator. 2. Have purpose in life. 3. Have true community with others. What you believe about death and eternity will determine how you live.

We all have dreams for the future, but if we don’t bring those someday desires into today’s routine, they are never realized. Kick start your life and get some traction on God’s plans to leave your mark on eternity. Matt 6:5-7 and Luke 11:5-10. Most of our problems with prayer are due to our misconceptions about God. Necessity drives prayer. Prayer actually changes things. Sometimes the most amazing thing that happens in prayer is not what is happening to my circumstances but what is happening to me. Prayer works best when it’s off script.
