Stop Performing for People and Start Practicing for God | Lifepointe Church | Chris Ruppe
Lifepointe Church | Fort Mill, SCShow Notes
You ever notice how someone may act different when they know people are watching? Or maybe they flex and gloat when they're graciously giving or even fasting to others. In Matthew 6, Jesus warns us to not act like the Pharisees who did these things in public for others to see. Instead, he calls us to do it in secret because our Heavenly Father will see it and reward us with eternal life with HIM! If you find yourself falling into this trap, ask yourself if your audience disappears, does the practice still continue?

Heaven's a hard place to describe because none of us have ever been there. There's a lot of misconception that it'll be a magical place above in the clouds, but what does the Bible actually say about Heaven? Turns out, it'll be a lot more similar to Earth than you realize. It'll be the restoring of Earth back to it's original form that God intended and He will dwell with his people. Heaven promises reunion, to be rid of pain, and rewards. But in order to receive these rewards, you have to ask yourself this question while still here on Earth: What did you do with what God gave you?
What does the book of Revelation say about Heaven & Hell? In this podcast episode, Pastor Nate goes beyond the sermon to break down different views of Heaven & Hell, to help us better grasp what both of these eternal destinations are vs. are not.

One of the most hotly debated topics of Revelation is whether or not Christians will experience tribulation here on earth before Christ's return. The quick answer: YES! Every day is a battle of tribulation against the dragon of this world (Satan), the beast that we mistakenly trust (government), and the harlot that is ever tempting (culture). Luckily, God gave us a savior from these evil foes in Jesus Christ and you can break the strongholds of sin in your life if you rebuke them in Jesus name and cast them out with prayer.
