18. 4 THINGS
1. Heaven and hell
2. Bible
3. Repentance
4. Men

19. The Day of the Lord is a succession
of days and events through history
that all culminate in the Last Day.
The Last Day is the Day of
Judgment.

20. And so the Day of the Lord is the
best day for the believer and the
worst day for the unbeliever.

22. Here’s the good news: you don’t
have to go to hell.

23. The bad news is right now if you
don’t know the Lord Jesus Christ, if
you’ve not turned from sin and
trusted in him and accept him as
your Savior and Lord, your eternal
fate is now destined for hell, the
conscious, painful torments of hell.

24. Hell is likened to burning.
A conscious torment.

25. The burning in hell is a supernatural
burning.

26. Isaiah 66:24
24 “And they will go out and look on
the dead bodies of those who
rebelled against me; the worms that
eat them will not die,

27. Isaiah 66:24
24 “the fire that burns them will not
be quenched, and they will be
loathsome to all mankind.”

28. Isaiah 66:24 says it this way:
“Their fire shall not quenched.”

29. The fires of hell never go out.
The burning and the suffering—it is
eternal, it is unyielding, it is
unending.

30. For the Non-Christian For the Christian
This life is as close to
heaven as they ever get
This life is as close to hell
as we ever get
Death: it gets worse Death: it gets better
There's judgment There's mercy

32. Our picture of heaven should be
what this earth was intended to be
before sin invaded it and corrupted
it.

33. He says that heaven will be like that
and our glorified, resurrected,
perfected bodies, it will be like the
sunshine of a new day.

34. No sun but all the light that will
emanate through the new creation
will be the unveiled glory of
Jesus Christ.

36. He also says that, that day will come
with healing.

37. Finally into the state that God
intended when he made all things
very good before sin made
everything very bad.

39. He starts with heaven and hell and
then he proceeds to the law and the
prophets.
Again, this is God’s final word for
four hundred years.

40. “Remember the law of my service
Moses.”

41. The law is Moses and the prophets is
typified by Elijah.

42. So what the law does is the law is
God’s Word, and it is God giving us
his standard.

43. God is holy, God is righteous, God
is good.
God writes down, “This is why I
made you and this is how you were
supposed to live and if you disobey
my law, my rules, then you’re in sin.”

45. Elijah will restore all things

46. MATTHEW 17:11
11 Elijah is coming and will restore
everything,” He replied.

47. Prophets call God's people to abide
by God's covenant and for God's
people to receive all the God has for
them.

49. John was a type of Elijah who is to
come.

50. He was called to prepare for the way
of the Messiah by calling for
repentance and restoration of
relationship with God.

51. LUKE 1:17
17 And he will go before Him in the
spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the
hearts of fathers to their children, and
the disobedient to the understanding of
the righteous, to make ready for the
Lord a prepared people. ”

52. John was not Elijah but he came in
the power and spirit of Elijah.
To turn the hearts of the fathers to
the children.

54. Elijah and Elisha were different men,
but it’s the same power of the Holy
Spirit working through them
anointing and appointing them for
similar prophetic ministry to preach
and to call people to repentance of
sin and receiving of Jesus.

55. Will the actual Elijah return to earth
one day?

57. Elijah’s a fearless man.
The only way you become a fearless
man is when you’re filled with the
Holy Spirit.

58. We are to practice a lifestyle of
repentance.

60. Rebellion - an open defiant life,
becoming a law unto yourself

61. Religion - religious pride, legalism
and self-righteousness

62. ’

63. MALACHI 4:1-6
6 And he will turn the hearts of
fathers to their children and the
hearts of children to their fathers,
lest I come and strike the land with
a decree of utter destruction.”

64. Curse - culture, people and legacy
that is ruined.

65. The family is the first government.

66. The father is the first leader.

67. God holds the men responsible for
their family for their legacy.

68. God is the God of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob.

69. This is the big idea of legacy.
It starts with fathers and faith flows
through generations of the family.
Well, it starts with the fact that God
is a father.

70. ’

71. Developing a father’s heart starts by
knowing God as Father.

73. What this means as well, I’ll give you
something else very practically, serve
younger people, children.

74. It’s good to have involvement with
children before you get one by
serving and loving and investing and
getting to know families and
participating in the stages of life.

75. Some of the most influential people
in children’s lives are older people
who love the Lord, that are in
seasons ahead of them that they’ve
learned from.

77. In addition for you men, you don’t
want to just marry a woman who’s a
good time but with whom you can
make a good legacy.

78. Most important decision: Who's
your God?

79. Second most important decision:
Who will you marry?

80. ’

81. You will always be a father to your
kids for as long as you live.

82. Even if it’s a hard season, continue
to be the father.

83. Continue to love, continue to
pursue, continue to pray, continue to
invest.

85. ’

87. 1 Cor. 4:15
15 Even if you had ten thousand
guardians in Christ, you do not have
many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I
became your father through the gospel.

89. And so God’s final word and God’s
answer is more men with a father’s
heart.

91. This is an opportunity for you to
respond, to turn from sin and to trust
in Jesus, to escape hell and to enjoy
heaven.
