Part: 2
In this episode, we learn that Christ transforms a person, making them a new creation in Christ—where old things pass away and all things become new. God not only gives believers a new life, hope, and identity, but also places them into the Body of Christ, entrusting them with the ministry of reconciliation to proclaim that Christ’s death and resurrection have made salvation available to all. Because God has already done everything necessary to reconcile the world to Himself, believers now serve as available ambassadors for Christ, representing heaven and urging people to “be ye reconciled to God.”

The world, which does not know our Savior or respect or live by the Word of God, often thinks believers are crazy for living by faith in Christ and for eternal things we cannot see. We see in this message that the Apostle Paul faced the same accusation of being “beside” himself, yet his zeal flowed from the love of Christ, which constrained him to live for the One Who died and rose again. That love reshaped how Paul viewed everything: himself, his purpose, and even other people—as eternal souls for whom Christ died.

Part: 3
This teaching on the Great White Throne Judgment in Revelation 20 explains the final, terrifying judgment of all unbelievers, who stand before Christ. Every unsaved person—from the “small and great”—is judged according to the books that record their works and reveal their guilt, and also by the Book of Life, where their names no longer appear. After being resurrected to stand before God, both body and soul are cast into the lake of fire, the second death, an eternal separation from God with no escape. This sobering scene underscores the urgency of trusting Christ now and sharing the gospel with others.

Part: 2
We learn in this study how the Bible describes several future judgments, each applying to different groups of people. First, immediately following the Rapture of the Church, the Body of Christ, believers of this present age will appear at the Judgment Seat of Christ, not for salvation, but to receive rewards—or suffer loss of reward. Next, Israel will be regathered and judged after Christ’s Second Coming. Then the Gentile nations will be judged based on their treatment of Israel during the Tribulation. Finally, after the Millennium, unbelievers from all ages will stand at the Great White Throne, be judged by their works, and then cast into the lake of fire.

Part: 1
In this lesson, the Apostle Paul teaches that every believer in the Body of Christ must appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, where our lives, motives, and service will be fully revealed and evaluated by the Lord. This judgment does not determine salvation but determines reward or loss of reward, based on whether our works were done with Christlike motives and according to the truth of grace. Knowing this coming day shaped Paul’s ambition to live a life “well pleasing” to the Lord, and it should motivate believers today to serve faithfully, recognizing that nothing done for Christ is forgotten.
- Series: Hope
Part: 2
The Apostle Paul teaches, in this episode, that believers can face death with confidence, because God has prepared us for eternal glory and given us the Holy Spirit as the guarantee of our future resurrection. While on this earth, we are “at home in the body,” and physically absent from the Lord—but the moment we die, the opposite instantly takes place, and we become fully conscious in His presence. This hope rests not on feelings but on walking by faith and trusting God’s Word. Life on earth as a believer is good, but being with Christ after death is better, and receiving our glorified bodies at the Rapture is best of all.

Part: 1
The Apostle Paul compares our present bodies to temporary tents, which are meant to make us long for our true home with the Lord. This message is a reminder that even when this earthly “tent” is taken down in death, believers know they have a permanent, God‑made, eternal body waiting in heaven. Paul groans not for death itself but for the Rapture, when mortality will be “swallowed up” by life and believers will instantly receive glorified bodies like Christ’s. Until then, those who die are “absent from the body, and… present with the Lord,” fully conscious and at rest, awaiting the day when body and spirit reunite in eternal glory.

In this continued teaching, we learn that prophecy describes God’s earthly plan for Israel, which revolves around material blessing and a works‑based expression of faith. The mystery reveals God’s heavenly plan for the Body of Christ, which is blessed with all spiritual blessings and saved by grace through faith alone. Prophecy was foretold through many prophets and entrusted to the Twelve, while the mystery was unveiled only to the Apostle Paul. Unlike the prophets, who often didn’t fully comprehend their own messages, Paul fully understood the mystery and desired that all believers grasp it as well.

Part: 4
In the first of this two-part study of contrasts, we see that prophecy reveals God’s earthly program for Israel—centered on a coming earthly kingdom—where Christ reigns and Israel holds a place of supremacy. The mystery, initially revealed only to the Apostle Paul, describes God’s heavenly program for the Body of Christ, a spiritual organism of believers with Christ as its Head, and Jew and Gentile equal in one body. Under prophecy, Gentiles are blessed through Israel’s rise, but under the mystery they are blessed through Israel’s fall, as God turns directly to individuals in grace.

Part: 9
The Apostle Paul’s message in this lesson centers on Christ’s love—a love so vast in breadth, length, depth, and height that it surpasses human knowledge, yet can be increasingly experienced as believers grow in Him. He prays that Christians would be strengthened by the Spirit, become a place where Christ is “at home,” and be rooted and grounded in His love. As believers grasp more of this immeasurable love, they are filled with the fullness of God and transformed into Christlike maturity. Paul concludes by praising God, Who is able to do “exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.”
