The Judgment Day

September 12, 2010
Led by Dennis Jeffries

• Matthew 10:14-15  -  it's more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgement than for those who reject 
•  *** Read Genesis 19 about Sodom and Gomorrha ***

• Matthew11: 20-24  -  Jesus did many mighty works yet the people still didn't believe and repent
• *** Who do you think that Capernaum sounds like? We thought of New York (the economic crisis), Las Vegas (highest foreclosure rate), and New Orleans (Hurricane Katrina). Let us know who you think it sounds like. ***
• 2 Peter 2:9  -  the unjust are have punishment reserved for them in the judgment; we don't need to payback or have revenge here on earth
• 2 Peter 3:7  -  reserved unto fore against judgment; judgment is for the ungodly

When is Your Judgment Determined?
There are four ways: upon salvation, rejection of the Holy Ghost, death, or the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

•  Hebrews 9:27  -  after death comes the judgment
• Genesis 2:15-17  -  Adam and Eve died when they ate the forbidden fruit; they died spiritually, not physically
• *** Where does scripture say that Adam and Eve ate an apple? ***

• John 5:24  -  if you hear and believe you will not come into condemnation but be passed from death into life
• John 11:25-26  -  those who live and believe in Jesus shall never die, speaking of the soul
• John 3:15-18  -  if you believe you are not condemned
• John 3:1-8  -  you must be born physically and spiritually (of the water and spirit); when you are born again you have eternal life, you won't die
• Revelation 3:20  -  you are born again when you open the door and sup with Jesus and he with you
• 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17  -  your judgment is determined at the resurrection; there no more opportunity to be saved after that
• *** Please study for yourself about whether or not a person can be saved after the resurrection of Jesus Christ and let us know what you find out. ***

• Luke 12:10  -  blasphemy against the Holy Ghost will not be forgiven (that means a total rejection of the Holy Ghost, God, and Jesus) 
• Matthew 12:31-32  -  the rejection of the Holy Ghost is not forgiven in this world, nor in the world to come; judgment is determined upon rejection
• 1 John 5:16  -  There is a sin unto death and you should even pray for it
• Revelation 21:7-8  -  This is the second death
• Matthew 7:21-22    the "religious" and "good" people won't be going to heaven
• Proverbs 14:12  -  a way may seem right to a man but the end is death

Other Scriptures to Ponder:
Daniel 12:2
Zephaniah 3:14-15 

Prayer Requests:
Dustin, Josie, and baby Drew  -  rough delivery but everyone okay; Drew has jaundice
Dennis's co-worker  -  induced to have baby last Friday
Josh and Ashley  -  expecting baby next March
Cody Coberly  -  searching for God but doesn't want "religion"
Those who've just repeated a prayer from a preacher but were never saved

Testimonies:
Eric shared a testimony he heard about a Muslim man who was converted my the example of his Christian wife (see 1 Corinthians 7:10-16). This man is a missionary to the United States and said "Muslims hate America because it is know for it's Christian faith, but that's not true." This man can see how we aren't as "Christian" as the polls say we are.
