Four Keys To Being Rewarded By Christ

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 1, 2006

This message concentrates on the fact that not everyone receives rewards from Christ and four of the things we need to be doing to make sure that we do.

Alive Beyond This Life Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 13, 2008

God wants to give us life beyond this life, for God is love and live is never diminished. It is not something we attain by knowledge, but by trust. Two sweatshirts are pulled on and off to illustrate two ways of thinking about life beyond this life.

God is love. So the Bible says, and that is, in a sense, all we need to know. God is love; and just as when you love someone you do not abandon them, so also the love of God, richer far than tongue or pen can ever tell, reaches to the highest height and to the lowest hell, and keeps on going ...read more
