Still Growing In Grace

Heaven! What is it, where is it, what haven’t we been told about it? This new mini-series will unpack what the modern church has taught on the subject but it will also discuss what the ‘early church’ thought about the topic. Enjoy as Richard Murray, Bill Thrasher, and myself dig into a more ‘hope-filled’ perspective!

Today’s discussion was initially broadcasted on Facebook and Youtube via “Fireside Creators” with Sherri Pallas, the host. She gave me permission to re-share it here on SGIG. · https://www.facebook.com/groups/733422830878824 · https://youtu.be/KXhtjRlghOQ The topic of forgiveness is one of the biggest I’ve ever come across. Today’s discussion will surely ‘expand’ your understanding and hopefully add ‘hope’ to your journey of forgiveness. ENJOY!

What is hell? Shouldn’t it be obvious? Don’t our movies and angry preachers make it clear? The quick answer is NOT A CHANCE. Is ‘hell’ real? I would have to say YES. But ‘WHAT’ is hell? This is not talked about enough nor taught on. Just trusting your ‘pastor’ on what they believe is the worst thing you can do. If you think hell is what you ‘think’ it is, and then are surprised by other opinions or perspectives, then you have much more to learn. This mini series on ‘What Is Hell’ is designed to open up the discussion and lead you into a deeper and wider understanding on the topic. This is not about ‘giving you an answer’, but rather to help you realize that hell may not be what you ‘think’ it is and therefore perhaps to tease you to dig more into not only what ‘hell’ is, but dig deeper into ‘who’ God ‘really’ is. I hope this is and encouraging topic. **see below for a list of links from Richard Murray on "The Nature of Hell and Judgement series*** Watch on YouTube https://youtu.be/3zL742uwEVc Or listen to

When I look up a ‘simple search’ on what the Bible says about judging, I find the first bunch of references to begin with ‘do not judge’. Sounds so simple doesn’t it? Then why do we has humans spend so much time judging oneanother? We judge the motives of our spouses, we judge the heart and motive of people we meet in our community. What about God judging us, aren’t we all going to get judged?? Well, I guess you will need to listen to find out but here is a hint: ‘biblical judgement’ is not punitive, it is curative!! Enjoy this TWO PART discussion on Judging that is sure to encourage you.
