Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: Titus Preview Series: None Series Order: None Location: Grace Bible Church Southwood Entering a New Year provides us a fresh chance to realign how we live with what we believe. Such incongruity so often exists between our beliefs and our lifestyle at times due to lack of knowledge, a tendency to forget, and a consistent inability to apply truth. The book of Titus centers on the key relationship between our doctrine and our lifestyle. PowerPoint Slides and notes available at www.grace-bible.org

Speaker: Joel Mathai Scripture: Psalm 103:15-19 Series: None Series Order: None Location: Grace Bible Church Anderson As we enter a new year there is much concern about the future economically, politically, globally etc. As a believer we cannot afford to lose our perspective and become fearful. We will look at Psalm 103:15-19 and restore our confidence in the sovereignty of God: 1. God is sovereign over his creation, 2. God is sovereign over history, 3. God is sovereign over all our individual circumstances. God has not abandoned anyone - even though some may think so. As we enter a new year - We need to come to the realization and believe with all our heart that God is in sovereign control of all life. Psalm 103:19 The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his sovereignty rules over all !! PowerPoint Slides and notes available at www.grace-bible.org

Speaker: Blake Jennings Scripture: Romans 12:1-2 Series: None Series Order: None Location: Grace Bible Church Anderson Let's end this year with an honest self-evaluation. How did I do as a follower of Jesus this year? Paul gives us three helpful criteria for evaluation in Romans 12:1-2. (1) Did I daily dedicate all of myself to God? (2) Did I consistently resist the influence of the world? (3) Did I practice the spiritual disciplines to allow the Holy Spirit to transform me?

Speaker: Brian Fisher Scripture: Luke 1-2 Series: None Series Order: None Location: Grace Bible Church Anderson Angels serve God's people. Their very name means "messenger." We find them at critical points in the history of the Bible, brilliantly bursting onto the scene to tell God's beloved children what in the world God is about to do. Their presence reminds us that God longs for us to know Him, and He proves it by revealing His glorious plan to His people. PowerPoint Slides and notes available at www.grace-bible.org

Speaker: Blake Jennings Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:9-10, 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 Series: Heaven Series Order: 06 Location: Grace Bible Church Southwood When this life ends, all believers will stand before Jesus Christ to be judged based on our deeds. Though we will already be in heaven through faith alone in Christ, at His Judgment Seat some will receive honor because they prepared well in this life, while others will experience profound shame because they didn't. So how do you prepare now for your own Judgment Day? First, OBEY Christ in every area of life, for consistent obedience brings reward and the opportunity to rule with Jesus. Second, GIVE your time, abilities, and money to the growth of God's church, for as you do, you invest the things of this world, which you can't keep anyways, in a heavenly account that earns you eternal reward.

Speaker: Blake Jennings Scripture: Various Series: Heaven Series Order: 05 Location: Grace Bible Church Anderson The Bible reveals heaven to be a place full of significant, rewarding, exciting activities. Greatest of all, eternity will be punctuated by moments of intensely satisfying, all-consuming, spontaneous worship as all of creation joins in singing the praises of God. That worship will be fed by our second eternal activity - learning. We will never stop growing in our knowledge of God and His creation. Third, we will feast together in the presence of God, eating and drinking with thankful hearts. Finally, for all eternity, we will rule over creation at Jesus' right hand, for we are God's family, and ruling the universe is the family business!

Speaker: Brian Fisher Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15 Series: Heaven Series Order: 04 Location: Grace Bible Church Anderson We need a lot of work. Our bodies are broken, and along with our bodies our minds are bent, our wills undermined, and our emotions distorted. We are born with the curse of degeneration and death upon every part of our being and personality. However, and this is a big "however," the hope of heaven gives us the assurance that one day we will see Jesus, and we will be transformed into His likeness. We will be like Him. We will become all that we, as creatures made in His image, were designed to be. PowerPoint Slides and notes available at www.grace-bible.org

But God has even greater things in store for us in the future stages of heaven when we receive our resurrected bodies, when we are given the best, most fulfilling job we've ever had, and when we finally walk with Him on the resurrected, perfected earth. This phenomenal future gives us hope in this life in any circumstance. PowerPoint Slides and notes available at www.grace-bible.org
