Pastor's Choice
I gave my Pastor's Choice message yesterday at the Kannapolis Campus. I gave it 2 weeks ago at the Denton Campus and will give it at the Salisbury East Campus on August 8 and 9. This has really been a blast getting to deliver the message at each campus and also getting to hear the other pastor's messages as usually all 8 pastor's write each message/series together.
My message is titled So You're Dead, Now What? and I talk about what happens after we die. In the message I discuss what the bible has to say about Heaven and Hell. I am pleased that I am getting many questions after the message for more info and in depth study on the topic. This is great because a message shouldn't just be a 35 minute event with no follow up study or thought provoking questions and discussions. In fact, I heard a pastor once say that the sermon truly begins AFTER it is heard. It's what we do with what we heard that matters and helps us grow and mature spiritually.
The most requested additional info or more in depth questions deal with wanting to more about Heaven. A great resource I suggest is a series of books/pamphlets written by Randy Alcorn called Heaven. If your bookstore doesn't have copies you might contact Denise Reavis (a High Rocker) at the Country Christian Books & Gifts in Granite Quarry (704.279.3384) or another Christian bookstore or on line at LifeWay or Amazon.com.
What I like about Alcorn's books is that they are scripturally based which is of course what we should all look for in our use reference resources as we study God's Word. I know you will love what you learn about Heaven that you may not know.
Happy reading and studying...see you in Heaven!
