In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth. 15 John 8:58 John 1:1 1 Peter 2:22 DID CHRIST EVER SIN? 16 PROOF OF DEITY HIS SIGNS 17 DID CHRIST STAY DEAD? For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are yet was without sin.

3 WHERE IS CHRIST NOW? 25 CHRIST S RETURN 26 GOD S FAITHFULNESS Who has gone into heaven and is at God s right hand -- with angels, authorities and powers in submission to Him. 1 Peter 3:22 Men of Galilee, they said, why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven. Acts 1:11 To Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy.

There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.

4 BELIEVERS FUTURE HOME 37 HEAVEN IS A WONDERFUL PLACE 38 BELIEVERS RESURRECTION I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far. Philippians 1:23 You have made known to me the path of life; you will fi ll me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand. Psalm 16:11 I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand upon the earth.

Job 19: BELIEVERS RESURRECTION 40 BELIEVERS RESURRECTION 41 BELIEVERS RESURRECTION Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 According to the Lord s own word, we tell you that For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in fallen asleep. Christ will rise fi rst. 1 Thessalonians 4:15 1 Thessalonians 4:16 42 BELIEVERS RESURRECTION 43 BELIEVERS JUDGMENT 44 BELIEVERS JUDGMENT After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18 Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what He has done. Revelation 22:12 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:10 45 Bronze Memory Packet - NIV BELIEVERS JUDGMENT 46 WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM! 47 WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM! Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day -- and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for His appearing. How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 48 (END OF THIRD QUARTER) 2 Timothy 4:8 1 John 3:1 1 John 3:2

5 BIBLE PASSAGES 49 BIBLE PASSAGES 50 BIBLE PASSAGES As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins. Ephesians 2:1 In which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. Ephesians 2:2 Ephesians 2:3 51 BIBLE PASSAGES 52 BIBLE PASSAGES 53 BIBLE PASSAGES But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy. Made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. 54 Ephesians 2:4 Ephesians 2:5 Ephesians 2:6 BIBLE PASSAGES 55 BIBLE PASSAGES 56 BIBLE PASSAGES In order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:7 Ephesians 2:8-9 For we are God s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 57 THE LORD S SUPPER 58 THE LORD S SUPPER 59 THE LORD S SUPPER 60 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread. 1 Corinthians 11:23 And when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me. 1 Corinthians 11:24 In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of Me. 1 Corinthians 11:25

6 THE LORD S SUPPER For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord s death until He comes. Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 1 Corinthians 11: THE LORD S SUPPER 62 A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself. 1 Corinthians 11:28-29 BOOKS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT 63 Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy Joshua Judges Ruth 1 Samuel 2 Samuel 1 Kings 2 Kings 1 Chronicles 2 Chronicles Ezra Nehemiah Esther Job Psalms Proverbs (END OF FOURTH QUARTER) Ecclesiastes Song of Solomon Isaiah Jeremiah Lamentations Ezekiel Daniel Hosea Joel Amos Obadiah Jonah Micah Nahum Habakkuk Zephaniah Haggai Zechariah Malachi
