1 IF WE NEVER MEET AGAIN THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN! Introduction: A. Tonight A Call For Us To Appreciate Our Brethren Now And In The Future! B. (Slide #2) Lyrics To Hymn: If We Never Meet Again This Side Of Heaven. Verse 1: Soon we ll come to the end of life s journey And perhaps we ll never meet anymore Till we gather in Heaven s bright city Far away on that beautiful shore If we never meet again this side of Heaven As we struggle through this world and its strife There s another meeting place somewhere in Heaven By the side of the river of life; Where the charming roses bloom forever, And where separations come no more, If we never meet again this side of Heaven I will meet you on that beautiful shore. (Slide #3) Verse 2: O so often we re parted with sorrow, Benedictions often quicken our pain, But we never shall sorrow in heaven, God be with you till we meet again. If we never meet again this side of Heaven As we struggle through this world and its strife There s another meeting place somewhere in Heaven 1

2 By the side of the river of life; Where the charming roses bloom forever, And where separations come no more, If we never meet again this side of Heaven I will meet you on that beautiful shore. (Slide #4) Verse 3: Oh, they say we shall meet by the river, Where no storm clouds ever darken the sky, And they say we ll be happy in Heaven In that wonderful sweet by and by. If we never meet again this side of Heaven As we struggle through this world and its strife There s another meeting place somewhere in Heaven By the side of the river of life. Words & Music by: Albert E. Brumley, Johnny Cash & Porter Wagner sang it. C. Examine Your Relationship With And Appreciation Of Your Brethren -- Do You REALLY Look Forward To Eternity Together? I. (Slide #5) Soon We ll Come To The End Of Life s Journey. A. Life Here On Earth Is A Wonderful Blessing! B. It Moves By SO Swiftly! 1. The words of the following hymn, Into Our Hands The Gospel Is Given are SO true! Swiftly we re turning life s daily pages. Swiftly the hours are changing to years! Lyrics by: Ruth Carruth; Music by: Tillit S. Teddlie, Js. 4:13,14 Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit ; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 2

3 3. Ps. 90:10 The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away. C. You Are RAPIDLY Moving On Through Life! D. (Slide #6) Then You Step Into The Afterlife Of Eternity! E. From The Words Of Into Our Hands The Gospel Is Given, Some Questions: 1. Verse 1 How are we using God s golden moments? Shall we reap glory? Shall we reap tears? 2. (Slide #7) Are we appreciating our blessings? Count Your Many Blessings; See What God Has Done! 3. ( ) Do you really appreciate and cherish our brethren? a. Are we extremely grateful to be a part of God s Family? Verse 1: We re part of the family, that s been born again; Part of the family, whose love knows no end; For Jesus has saved us, and made us His own, Now were part of the family, that s on it s way home And sometimes we laugh together, Sometimes we cry; Sometimes we share together, Heartaches and sighs; Sometimes we dream together Of how it will be When we all get to heaven, God s family. Verse 2: When a brother meets sorrow we all feel his grief; When he s passed thro the valley we all feel relief; Together in sunshine, together in rain, Together in vict ry thro His precious name. And sometimes we laugh together, Sometimes we cry; 3

4 Sometimes we share together, Heartaches and sighs; Sometimes we dream together Of how it will be When we all get to heaven, God s family. Verse 3: And tho some go before us, we ll all meet again; Just inside the city as we enter in; There'll be no more parting, with Jesus we ll be Together forever, God's family And sometimes we laugh together, Sometimes we cry; Sometimes we share together, Heartaches and sighs; Sometimes we dream together Of how it will be When we all get to heaven, God s family. Lyrics & Music by: Lanny Wolfe, 1974 b. ( ) Is the sentiment Blest Be The Tie A Genuine Gratefulness we feel for our brethren? Stanza 1: Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. Stanza 2: Before our Father s throne We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares. 4

5 Stanza 3: We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. Stanza 4: When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again. Lyrics: John Fawcett, Music: Hans G. Naegell, c. ( ) Do we seriously feel this way? How Sweet, How Heavenly! Verse 1: How sweet, how heavenly is the sight, When those that love the Lord In one another s peace delight, And so fulfill His Word! Verse 2: When each can feel his brother s sigh And with him bear a part! When sorrow flows from eye to eye, And joy from heart to heart! Verse 3: When, free from envy, scorn, and pride, Our wishes all above, Each can his brother s failings hide, And show a brother s love! Verse 4: 5

6 When love, in one delightful stream, Through every bosom flows, When union sweet, and dear esteem, In every action glows. Verse 5: Love is the golden chain that binds The happy souls above; And he s an heir of Heaven who finds His bosom glow with love. Words: Joseph Swain, Walworth Hymns, Music: Mount Calvary, Robert P. Stewart d. (Slide #8) Are we living in a way that They ll Know We Are Christians? Verse 1: We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord, We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord, And we pray that our unity will one day be restored: Refrain: And they ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love Yeah they ll know we are Christians by our love. Verse 2: We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand, We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand, And together we ll spread the news that God is in our land: Refrain: And they ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love Yeah they ll know we are Christians by our love. Verse 3: All praise to the Father, from whom all things come, 6

7 And all praise to Christ Jesus, His only Son, And all praise to the Spirit who makes us one: Refrain: And they ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love Yeah they ll know we are Christians by our love. Lyrics & Music by Peter Scholtes, e. ( ) Are you trying to put off sinful attitudes and to show genuine love to your brethren? Angry Words. Verse 1: Angry words! O let them never, From the tongue unbridled slip, May the heart's best impulse ever, Check them ere they soil the lip. Refrain: Love one another thus saith the Savior, Children obey the Father's blest command, Love each other, love each other, Tis the Father s blest command. Verse 2: Love is much too pure and holy, Friendship is too sacred far, For a moment's reckless folly, Thus to desolate and mar. Refrain Love one another thus saith the Savior, Children obey the Father's blest command, Love each other, love each other, Tis the Father s blest command. 7

8 Verse 3: Angry words are lightly spoken, Bitterest thoughts are rashly stirred, Brightest links of life are broken, By a single angry word. Refrain Love one another thus saith the Savior, Children obey the Father's blest command, Love each other, love each other, Tis the Father s blest command. Author: Horatio R. Palmer, 1867 f. Scripture thoughts: 1. Is your sentiment: I am a companion of all who fear You, And of those who keep Your precepts. Ps. 119:63 2. Jn. 15:12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 3. I Jn. 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 4. I Jn. 3:14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. 4. ( ) Are you eager to bring others to Christ? a. Do you really want sinners to be saved? b. Do you want them to be members of the Church? Do you want them to be in Heaven? c. Into Our Hands Verse 2: Millions are groping without the gospel, Quickly they ll reach eternity s night; Shall we sit idly as they rush onward? Haste, let us hold up Christ the true light. 8

9 Into our hands the gospel is given, Into our hands is given the light, Haste, let us carry God s precious message, Guiding the erring back to the right. Verse 3: Souls that are precious, souls that are dying, While we rejoice our sins are forgiv n; Did He not also die for these lost ones? Then let us point the way unto heav n. Into our hands the gospel is given, Into our hands is given the light, Haste, let us carry God s precious message, Guiding the erring back to the right. Lyrics by: Ruth Carruth, 1939 Music by: Tillit S. Teddlie, F. Do All You Can For Good With Life -- It Is Fleeting And Flying By! II. (Slide #9) Life Here Can Have Lots Of Trouble And Strife. A. Job 14:1 Man who is born of woman Is of few days and full of trouble. B. Troubles Can Become SO Difficult That You Turn Inward Just To Get Through The Pain Or Heartache! 1. Sometime brethren pull back from brethren. 2. Sometimes diseases ruin relationships, especially some mental diseases that completely change a person s personality. 9

10 C. Keep Your Eyes On Jesus As You Face Life s Turmoil! Heb. 12:1,2 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. D. Keep Your Eyes On Heaven! Jn. 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. III. (Slide #10) We Might Never See Each Other Again Till We Meet In Eternity (Paradise). A. We May Not See Each Other Again In This Life. B. People Move And Sometimes Hardly Ever Or Perhaps Never Get To See Each Other Again In This Life; People Die In Accidents; People Suffer Serious Physical Challenges And Die Quickly. C. Sadly, We Are Separated From Precious Brethren In This Life. D. Will You See Your Brethren In Heaven? IV. (Slide #11) There s A Meeting Place In Heaven By The River Of Life! A. Imagine Being With The Redeemed In Paradise, Lk. 16:19-31; Then Being In Heaven Together Forever! B. There Will Be NO Troubles There! 1. Words Of Our Hymn: Verse 3: Where no storm clouds ever darken the sky And they say we ll be happy in Heaven In that wonderful sweet by and by. 2. Rev. 21:4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. 10

11 3. There will be no heartaches as you watch a beloved Christian suffer in Heaven! C. There Is NO Separation There. D. There Will Be Eternal Joy And Worship Of The Godhead! V. (Slide #11) I Will Meet You On That Beautiful Shore! A. There Is A Determination To Live A Life Here So You CAN Be In Heaven! B. If We Remain Faithful, We Will Be There! 1. II Tim. 4:7,8 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. 2. II Pet. 1:10,11 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. VI. Sobering Realities: A. If You LEAVE Christ For Immorality, You Will Be With All The Immoral Forever! B. If You LEAVE CHRIST To Turn Back To Sin, You Will Be With All The Sinners Forever! C. If You Leave The Church For Denominational Error, You Will Be With Denominationalist Forever! D. If You Hate Brethren Here, You Hate God Too; You WILL NOT BE WITH THEM Eternally! 1. I Jn. 3:15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 2. I Jn. 4:8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 11

12 3. I Jn. 4:20 If someone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? E. In The Church You Are With The BEST People On Earth -- The Redeemed, People Of Faith, People Who Love The Godhead, People Who Long To Be Separate From Sin And The World! 1. Love them NOW! 2. Enjoy being with them as your serve the Lord. 3. Anticipate being with them in the glories of Heaven forever! 12
