  • But we have

  • So much to be thankful for, and i want to thank you
  • 00:00:02.715 --> 00:00:06.519
  • For your faithfulness, your generosity, your prayers.
  • 00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:09.722
  • As part of the winning ward family
  • 00:00:09.722 --> 00:00:12.058
  • And we want to enter 2026 strong,
  • 00:00:12.058 --> 00:00:15.595

  • Changing good news of jesus christ.
  • 00:00:17.997 --> 00:00:21.101
  • Thank you again for boldly giving
  • 00:00:21.101 --> 00:00:23.369
  • And standing with the winning.
  • 00:00:23.369 --> 00:00:25.004
  • Walk with me through your prayers and support. god
  • 00:00:25.004 --> 00:00:29.075
  • Bless you.
  • 00:00:29.075 --> 00:00:50.196
  • What kind of bodies will
  • 00:00:50.730 --> 00:00:52.398
  • We have in heaven?
  • 00:00:52.398 --> 00:00:55.135
  • What will heaven be like?
  • 00:00:55.702 --> 00:00:57.137
  • What will you look like?
  • 00:00:57.137 --> 00:00:58.738
  • What will i look like?
  • 00:00:58.738 --> 00:01:01.040
  • And we'll
  • 00:01:01.040 --> 00:01:02.108
  • Go to the prototype of the kind of bodies we'll have.
  • 00:01:02.108 --> 00:01:05.545
  • And that's the resurrected body of jesus christ.
  • 00:01:05.545 --> 00:01:09.048
  • We see that supernatural body that he had,
  • 00:01:09.048 --> 00:01:12.018
  • But yet the physical body that he had.
  • 00:01:12.018 --> 00:01:14.854
  • We know he would eat.
  • 00:01:14.854 --> 00:01:16.656
  • He prepared a fire.
  • 00:01:16.656 --> 00:01:18.091
  • He could be touched.
  • 00:01:18.091 --> 00:01:19.759
  • We know he communicated with people.
  • 00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:22.295
  • And we see the reality there of the resurrected lord.
  • 00:01:22.295 --> 00:01:25.999
  • Now you look at the 11 appearances of jesus in the 40
  • 00:01:25.999 --> 00:01:29.936
  • Days of his resurrected life on this earth.
  • 00:01:29.936 --> 00:01:33.439
  • And three of them.
  • 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:35.441
  • He was
  • 00:01:35.642 --> 00:01:36.309
  • Not immediately recognized.
  • 00:01:36.309 --> 00:01:38.811
  • The open tomb there, mary magdalene.
  • 00:01:39.579 --> 00:01:42.649
  • She didn't recognize jesus until he said, mary.
  • 00:01:42.649 --> 00:01:47.020
  • Then he looked up and she looked up
  • 00:01:47.020 --> 00:01:48.988
  • And there was recognition.
  • 00:01:48.988 --> 00:01:50.823
  • Why didn't she recognize him at first?
  • 00:01:50.823 --> 00:01:53.993
  • The simple reason is a cultured, godly
  • 00:01:53.993 --> 00:01:57.063
  • Woman would never look in the face of a strange man
  • 00:01:57.063 --> 00:02:00.700
  • In a public place.
  • 00:02:00.700 --> 00:02:02.235
  • But when he said mary, there was recognition
  • 00:02:02.235 --> 00:02:05.471
  • On the road to emmaus.
  • 00:02:05.939 --> 00:02:07.640
  • He was walking along there with these two men
  • 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.943
  • Who would discourage saying the messiah they thought
  • 00:02:09.943 --> 00:02:12.845
  • Really was the messiah.
  • 00:02:12.845 --> 00:02:14.113
  • And jesus opened the scriptures and began to execute
  • 00:02:14.113 --> 00:02:18.218
  • Prophesy, the old testament with these two individuals.
  • 00:02:18.218 --> 00:02:20.987
  • By the way,
  • 00:02:20.987 --> 00:02:22.155
  • If there's one time i would love to have been present,
  • 00:02:22.155 --> 00:02:24.591
  • He'd been right there.
  • 00:02:24.591 --> 00:02:25.425
  • Just think about walk into the resurrected lord.
  • 00:02:26.392 --> 00:02:28.494
  • He's open the old testament showing you what this is about.
  • 00:02:28.494 --> 00:02:31.264
  • Who's it about? the prophecy.
  • 00:02:31.264 --> 00:02:32.532
  • What a magnificent moment.
  • 00:02:32.532 --> 00:02:34.067
  • But they didn't recognize him.
  • 00:02:34.067 --> 00:02:36.069
  • The end of the day.
  • 00:02:36.069 --> 00:02:37.070
  • Perhaps they invite him to go into their home
  • 00:02:37.070 --> 00:02:40.506
  • And they recognize him.
  • 00:02:40.506 --> 00:02:41.641
  • When he did
  • 00:02:41.641 --> 00:02:42.909
  • Something, he broke the bread and they said it is the lord.
  • 00:02:42.909 --> 00:02:46.446
  • And then he was gone.
  • 00:02:46.446 --> 00:02:49.882
  • So first of all, he was recognized by voice,
  • 00:02:49.882 --> 00:02:53.319
  • Mary magdalene,
  • 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:54.454
  • Then recognized by what he did, the breaking of bread.
  • 00:02:54.454 --> 00:02:57.790
  • It is the lord.
  • 00:02:57.790 --> 00:02:58.658
  • And then on the sea of galilee,
  • 00:02:58.658 --> 00:03:01.227
  • The apostles were fishing jesus on the bank.
  • 00:03:01.227 --> 00:03:04.664
  • He prepared a charcoal fire.
  • 00:03:04.664 --> 00:03:06.532
  • He was cooking some fish. he went to the edge.
  • 00:03:06.532 --> 00:03:09.168
  • He said, guys, have you caught anything?
  • 00:03:09.168 --> 00:03:13.473
  • They said, no.
  • 00:03:13.806 --> 00:03:14.907
  • He said, well, throw out on this side of the boat.
  • 00:03:14.907 --> 00:03:18.244
  • And they did.
  • 00:03:18.244 --> 00:03:19.245
  • And they had a large, large harvest of fish.
  • 00:03:19.245 --> 00:03:22.348
  • By the way, the bible tells us
  • 00:03:22.348 --> 00:03:23.950
  • The exact number of fish that they caught.
  • 00:03:23.950 --> 00:03:26.719
  • And then one of the apostles said, it is the lord.
  • 00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.656
  • He was recognized
  • 00:03:29.656 --> 00:03:30.757
  • Because they followed the advice that he gave.
  • 00:03:30.757 --> 00:03:34.227
  • You see, jesus comes and gives recognition to us
  • 00:03:34.227 --> 00:03:37.897
  • Through many ways as he did there
  • 00:03:37.897 --> 00:03:39.766
  • In his first appearances in his resurrected body.
  • 00:03:39.766 --> 00:03:43.369
  • His body was human, but yet it was spiritual.
  • 00:03:43.369 --> 00:03:46.606
  • He could appear, he could disappear.
  • 00:03:46.606 --> 00:03:48.441
  • He could go through walls.
  • 00:03:48.441 --> 00:03:51.244
  • But yet we look at that body
  • 00:03:51.244 --> 00:03:53.246
  • And see that is the prototype,
  • 00:03:53.246 --> 00:03:56.115
  • The type of body that you will have.
  • 00:03:56.115 --> 00:03:58.951
  • And i will have
  • 00:03:58.951 --> 00:04:00.353
  • When we graduate from this earth and go to heaven.
  • 00:04:00.353 --> 00:04:03.656
  • Now, is there any hint?
  • 00:04:04.157 --> 00:04:08.227
  • Is there any
  • 00:04:08.561 --> 00:04:09.362
  • Shadow in your life and in my life
  • 00:04:09.362 --> 00:04:12.231
  • That, you know, we may already have tasted
  • 00:04:12.231 --> 00:04:15.968
  • Something of the heavenly atmosphere
  • 00:04:15.968 --> 00:04:19.872
  • Already in this life prior to our death.
  • 00:04:19.872 --> 00:04:23.476
  • Let me tell you something.
  • 00:04:24.043 --> 00:04:26.612
  • Your face and my face.
  • 00:04:26.612 --> 00:04:30.149
  • It's a window to our soul.
  • 00:04:30.717 --> 00:04:34.187
  • We see young people in this church.
  • 00:04:34.954 --> 00:04:38.191
  • Keith and i talk about this fairly regularly,
  • 00:04:38.191 --> 00:04:41.194
  • And we ask about that young person who was
  • 00:04:41.194 --> 00:04:43.296
  • Brought up in our church.
  • 00:04:43.296 --> 00:04:44.497
  • We say, well, how is bill doing?
  • 00:04:44.497 --> 00:04:47.100
  • They say, you know, we haven't seen bill lately.
  • 00:04:47.100 --> 00:04:48.801
  • What's happened?
  • 00:04:48.801 --> 00:04:49.736
  • Well, bill is running around the new crowd.
  • 00:04:49.736 --> 00:04:51.571
  • Our bill is this.
  • 00:04:51.571 --> 00:04:52.772
  • And we say, well, what about bill?
  • 00:04:52.772 --> 00:04:54.307
  • They say the light has going off in his eyes.
  • 00:04:54.307 --> 00:04:57.844
  • The eyes are a dead giveaway.
  • 00:04:58.478 --> 00:05:00.880
  • It's a window into our heart and our lifestyles.
  • 00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:03.816
  • And what do you see that dullness begin to appear?
  • 00:05:03.816 --> 00:05:06.886
  • That they just begin to appear.
  • 00:05:06.886 --> 00:05:09.122
  • That coldness begins to appear.
  • 00:05:09.122 --> 00:05:11.624
  • But by the same token, when you see a young person
  • 00:05:11.624 --> 00:05:14.227
  • Who falls in love, well, that's a light comes on.
  • 00:05:14.227 --> 00:05:17.864
  • You see a child that
  • 00:05:18.331 --> 00:05:19.966
  • In a moment exercised that light of words.
  • 00:05:19.966 --> 00:05:23.436
  • Your face in my face is a dead giveaway
  • 00:05:23.436 --> 00:05:25.972
  • So many times as to where we are with god
  • 00:05:25.972 --> 00:05:28.207
  • And where we are with christ in this world.
  • 00:05:28.207 --> 00:05:30.243
  • It's almost a pre resurrection scene.
  • 00:05:30.243 --> 00:05:34.347
  • And picture your face.
  • 00:05:34.347 --> 00:05:36.716
  • Everybody here, you're responsible for your face,
  • 00:05:36.716 --> 00:05:40.353
  • Your eyes,
  • 00:05:40.353 --> 00:05:42.455
  • A window to our heart and our soul and where we are.
  • 00:05:42.455 --> 00:05:46.159
  • Our resurrection bodies will be.
  • 00:05:46.859 --> 00:05:48.428
  • The only prototype we have
  • 00:05:48.428 --> 00:05:50.062
  • Is a resurrected body of jesus christ.
  • 00:05:50.062 --> 00:05:53.132
  • But then we've got to ask some questions about this body.
  • 00:05:53.132 --> 00:05:57.236
  • How old would you be in heaven?
  • 00:05:57.236 --> 00:06:01.040
  • Will it be the age in
  • 00:06:01.541 --> 00:06:03.509
  • Which you died?
  • 00:06:03.509 --> 00:06:05.845
  • The baby be a baby and a senior citizen?
  • 00:06:05.845 --> 00:06:09.182
  • Be a senior citizen?
  • 00:06:09.182 --> 00:06:10.383
  • How will you be?
  • 00:06:10.383 --> 00:06:11.951
  • Well, saint augustine said we'd all be 30 years old.
  • 00:06:11.951 --> 00:06:16.189
  • Thomas aquinas said we'd all
  • 00:06:16.789 --> 00:06:18.257
  • Be 33, because that was the age where jesus died.
  • 00:06:18.257 --> 00:06:21.794
  • I don't think either one of them knew what you were.
  • 00:06:21.794 --> 00:06:23.396
  • They were talking about.
  • 00:06:23.396 --> 00:06:25.264
  • I may tell you how old you be in heaven.
  • 00:06:25.264 --> 00:06:27.099
  • Somebody asked me, how old are you?
  • 00:06:27.099 --> 00:06:28.601
  • I say, i'm 41.
  • 00:06:28.601 --> 00:06:31.737
  • Somebody asked, as i old.
  • 00:06:31.737 --> 00:06:33.473
  • I tell him, you know i'm 73.
  • 00:06:33.473 --> 00:06:36.309
  • I tell others, you know i'm 12.
  • 00:06:36.309 --> 00:06:39.312
  • Why do you have to give the top number?
  • 00:06:40.112 --> 00:06:41.948
  • Would somebody tell me that
  • 00:06:41.948 --> 00:06:44.917
  • We're all of these ages,
  • 00:06:44.917 --> 00:06:46.953
  • And in heaven there'll be a child within us.
  • 00:06:46.953 --> 00:06:50.723
  • Thank goodness there'll be maturity within us.
  • 00:06:50.723 --> 00:06:54.794
  • There'll be all of those ages within you and within me.
  • 00:06:54.794 --> 00:06:58.531
  • In heaven will be ageless.
  • 00:06:58.531 --> 00:07:01.067
  • And that's part of the thrilling aspect of heaven.
  • 00:07:01.067 --> 00:07:04.537
  • And heaven will always be older.
  • 00:07:04.537 --> 00:07:06.572
  • And our children, our parents will always be older us.
  • 00:07:06.572 --> 00:07:09.775
  • But age becomes a non-existent reality
  • 00:07:09.775 --> 00:07:13.012
  • Because we will be living in timelessness.
  • 00:07:13.012 --> 00:07:16.182
  • And we'll talk about that later in our study
  • 00:07:16.182 --> 00:07:18.684
  • Of heaven, of eternity and what it means to be beyond time.
  • 00:07:18.684 --> 00:07:23.923
  • But we
  • 00:07:24.123 --> 00:07:25.224
  • Understand in heaven you'll be the exact right age
  • 00:07:25.224 --> 00:07:28.528
  • You'll need to be to accomplish that
  • 00:07:28.528 --> 00:07:31.230
  • Supernatural task that god will have
  • 00:07:31.230 --> 00:07:35.134
  • For every one of his children in heaven.
  • 00:07:35.134 --> 00:07:38.471
  • Many, many, many tasks that we will have.
  • 00:07:38.471 --> 00:07:41.541
  • How old were they in heaven?
  • 00:07:41.541 --> 00:07:42.875
  • One question people ask.
  • 00:07:42.875 --> 00:07:44.710
  • The other question what will look like in heaven?
  • 00:07:44.710 --> 00:07:46.812
  • Will be all of us me, ken and barbie.
  • 00:07:46.812 --> 00:07:50.249
  • We all be self sculptured bodies
  • 00:07:50.950 --> 00:07:54.153
  • And looked like miss universe.
  • 00:07:54.153 --> 00:07:56.856
  • How boring that will be.
  • 00:07:56.856 --> 00:07:59.859
  • Let me tell you what we're going to look like in heaven.
  • 00:07:59.859 --> 00:08:02.495
  • You're going to look like the best self
  • 00:08:02.495 --> 00:08:05.431
  • That you can imagine.
  • 00:08:05.932 --> 00:08:08.167
  • You'll be complete and full and whole,
  • 00:08:08.167 --> 00:08:11.370
  • And god is going to take care of that.
  • 00:08:11.370 --> 00:08:13.873
  • And some of us are going to look so good.
  • 00:08:13.873 --> 00:08:15.942
  • We're not going to recognize each other
  • 00:08:15.942 --> 00:08:17.944
  • Until there's other moments of recognition.
  • 00:08:17.944 --> 00:08:20.379
  • It is a not a universe against heaven,
  • 00:08:20.379 --> 00:08:24.216
  • But there's a great variety in heaven,
  • 00:08:24.216 --> 00:08:26.552
  • And all of us will come to a maximum fullness
  • 00:08:26.552 --> 00:08:30.122
  • Where our appearance will be obvious to god
  • 00:08:30.122 --> 00:08:32.725
  • And obvious to others.
  • 00:08:32.725 --> 00:08:33.993
  • In fact, there will be a glow to you and me in heaven.
  • 00:08:33.993 --> 00:08:37.430
  • That is hard to explain, and we can't even
  • 00:08:37.430 --> 00:08:40.166
  • In articulated in this life.
  • 00:08:40.166 --> 00:08:43.135
  • Then somebody else.
  • 00:08:43.135 --> 00:08:44.470
  • Well, well, i have five senses in heaven
  • 00:08:44.470 --> 00:08:48.874
  • And the answer is
  • 00:08:49.308 --> 00:08:50.776
  • Yes, we'll
  • 00:08:50.776 --> 00:08:51.444
  • Have all five senses,
  • 00:08:51.444 --> 00:08:53.012
  • But we'll have more senses
  • 00:08:53.012 --> 00:08:54.513
  • Than just five.
  • 00:08:54.513 --> 00:08:55.881
  • And the five senses we have,
  • 00:08:55.881 --> 00:08:57.583
  • What about the sense of hearing?
  • 00:08:57.583 --> 00:08:59.619
  • My goodness, we hear something beautiful like the soul lords
  • 00:08:59.619 --> 00:09:03.122
  • And the choir today.
  • 00:09:03.122 --> 00:09:04.323
  • Just think, if our hearing was just
  • 00:09:04.323 --> 00:09:07.526
  • Maximize what we hear.
  • 00:09:07.994 --> 00:09:10.463
  • We hear the chorus of angels.
  • 00:09:10.463 --> 00:09:12.498
  • We would hear beyond our capacity.
  • 00:09:12.498 --> 00:09:15.034
  • It would go on and on.
  • 00:09:15.034 --> 00:09:16.335
  • Imagine to see.
  • 00:09:16.335 --> 00:09:17.403
  • We see something beautiful.
  • 00:09:17.403 --> 00:09:19.038
  • Imagine the sense of sight is intensified in intensity
  • 00:09:19.038 --> 00:09:23.042
  • And in scope and understanding, and in beauty.
  • 00:09:23.042 --> 00:09:25.711
  • Imagine to smell.
  • 00:09:25.711 --> 00:09:27.213
  • We could smell wonderful fragrances
  • 00:09:27.213 --> 00:09:29.515
  • That we never smell before.
  • 00:09:29.515 --> 00:09:30.950
  • The taste you think?
  • 00:09:30.950 --> 00:09:33.219
  • Bacon, pine ice cream. that's good in heaven.
  • 00:09:33.219 --> 00:09:35.888
  • Our taste will just explode.
  • 00:09:35.888 --> 00:09:38.658
  • You see, we take everything.
  • 00:09:38.658 --> 00:09:40.993
  • Here is just a beginning.
  • 00:09:40.993 --> 00:09:42.862
  • A sample of what we're going to realize
  • 00:09:42.862 --> 00:09:45.364
  • And fullness to heaven.
  • 00:09:45.364 --> 00:09:47.333
  • And we'll have more than five senses.
  • 00:09:47.333 --> 00:09:50.269
  • Everybody here has more five than five senses right now.
  • 00:09:50.269 --> 00:09:53.706
  • We don't realize it.
  • 00:09:53.706 --> 00:09:55.374
  • We have a sense of balance to various degrees.
  • 00:09:55.374 --> 00:09:59.011
  • All of us do. you don't think about that.
  • 00:09:59.011 --> 00:10:01.313
  • We have a sense of presence around us,
  • 00:10:01.313 --> 00:10:04.617
  • Even though we do not see a sense of presence.
  • 00:10:04.617 --> 00:10:07.420
  • We have an understanding
  • 00:10:07.420 --> 00:10:08.487
  • Of where our arms
  • 00:10:08.487 --> 00:10:09.555
  • And our bodies are without even thinking about it.
  • 00:10:09.555 --> 00:10:12.692
  • We have a sense of time.
  • 00:10:12.692 --> 00:10:15.161
  • We don't put that in the equation.
  • 00:10:15.928 --> 00:10:17.630
  • We have a sense of pay.
  • 00:10:17.630 --> 00:10:20.399
  • And imagine there are 100 or 200 more senses
  • 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.836
  • That we'll have in heaven as we're exploded
  • 00:10:23.836 --> 00:10:27.373
  • In the reality, in our resurrected body.
  • 00:10:27.373 --> 00:10:31.243
  • Just imagine that you said, well, explain some of those.
  • 00:10:31.243 --> 00:10:35.581
  • How would you explain to somebody who's never heard
  • 00:10:35.581 --> 00:10:38.684
  • What it means to hear
  • 00:10:39.185 --> 00:10:41.053
  • Try that they've never heard anything?
  • 00:10:41.053 --> 00:10:43.689
  • You try to explain to him, you know that you
  • 00:10:43.689 --> 00:10:47.493
  • Try to explain to somebody
  • 00:10:48.060 --> 00:10:49.428
  • Who who's never seen what it means to see.
  • 00:10:49.428 --> 00:10:52.565
  • We see these studies with helen keller
  • 00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:55.367
  • And other personalities. it's hard.
  • 00:10:55.367 --> 00:10:57.536
  • How can we understand today?
  • 00:10:57.536 --> 00:10:59.505
  • The other senses will have available to us
  • 00:10:59.505 --> 00:11:03.642
  • In our supernatural, resurrected bodies.
  • 00:11:03.642 --> 00:11:06.946
  • So the prototype is jesus, we think.
  • 00:11:06.946 --> 00:11:10.416
  • And there we are. we move.
  • 00:11:10.416 --> 00:11:14.320
  • We, we're
  • 00:11:14.620 --> 00:11:16.055
  • Supernatural bodies.
  • 00:11:16.055 --> 00:11:19.291
  • Have you ever tried to read
  • 00:11:19.291 --> 00:11:21.160
  • A historical novel out of order?
  • 00:11:21.160 --> 00:11:24.130
  • It would be hard, if not impossible, to understand.
  • 00:11:24.130 --> 00:11:26.899
  • The plot would.
  • 00:11:26.899 --> 00:11:28.501
  • And yet we read have studied the bible in much the same way.
  • 00:11:28.501 --> 00:11:32.138
  • Like a novel, the bible tells a story
  • 00:11:32.138 --> 00:11:34.473
  • With a beginning, a middle and end.
  • 00:11:34.473 --> 00:11:37.009
  • And when you read in chronological order,
  • 00:11:37.009 --> 00:11:39.211
  • You will see history unfold in a new
  • 00:11:39.211 --> 00:11:41.647
  • And understandable and memorable way.
  • 00:11:41.647 --> 00:11:44.817

  • Listen,
  • 00:12:22.488 --> 00:12:24.123
  • Listen.
  • 00:12:24.123 --> 00:12:25.191
  • Look in first corinthians 15, just a few verses.
  • 00:12:25.191 --> 00:12:29.128
  • It says it clearly.
  • 00:12:29.128 --> 00:12:30.663
  • It is sown a natural body.
  • 00:12:30.663 --> 00:12:33.132
  • It is raise a spiritual body, supernatural body.
  • 00:12:33.132 --> 00:12:36.702
  • If there is a natural body, there's also a spiritual body.
  • 00:12:36.702 --> 00:12:40.172
  • The first man is from earth, earthy.
  • 00:12:40.940 --> 00:12:43.409
  • The second man is from heaven, as the earthy
  • 00:12:43.409 --> 00:12:46.879
  • Souls are those who are earthy.
  • 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.481
  • That's us.
  • 00:12:49.481 --> 00:12:50.583
  • And as in heavenly, so also those who are heavenly.
  • 00:12:50.583 --> 00:12:54.286
  • Just as we have borne the image of earthy,
  • 00:12:54.286 --> 00:12:57.356
  • We'll also bear the image of heavenly.
  • 00:12:57.356 --> 00:13:00.459
  • We have our earth bodies.
  • 00:13:00.459 --> 00:13:02.428
  • We have our supernatural, heavenly bodies.
  • 00:13:02.428 --> 00:13:06.131
  • Those who are in christ.
  • 00:13:06.131 --> 00:13:08.167
  • What a day of rejoicing that will be!
  • 00:13:08.167 --> 00:13:11.337
  • Now let me say this in a memorable way.
  • 00:13:12.204 --> 00:13:16.041
  • Does anybody in here think 19?
  • 00:13:16.642 --> 00:13:21.747
  • Oh, let's just pick a year.
  • 00:13:22.348 --> 00:13:23.515
  • 1939 and the name billy batson.
  • 00:13:23.515 --> 00:13:29.655
  • Does anybody know how that name came
  • 00:13:30.422 --> 00:13:32.992
  • Into a degree of prominence in 1939?
  • 00:13:32.992 --> 00:13:37.529
  • Captain marvel, all he had to say was billy
  • 00:13:37.529 --> 00:13:41.367
  • Batson, said shazam.
  • 00:13:41.367 --> 00:13:44.203
  • He thought that was only gomer pyle, didn't you?
  • 00:13:45.170 --> 00:13:47.606
  • That's a shazam.
  • 00:13:47.606 --> 00:13:50.376
  • And all of a sudden he's captain marvel.
  • 00:13:50.376 --> 00:13:53.112
  • And he has wisdom.
  • 00:13:53.112 --> 00:13:54.313
  • He has speed, he can fly.
  • 00:13:54.313 --> 00:13:55.915
  • He's got supernatural speed.
  • 00:13:55.915 --> 00:13:57.883
  • It's almost like
  • 00:13:57.883 --> 00:14:00.586
  • Shazam!
  • 00:14:00.586 --> 00:14:02.721
  • Shazam
  • 00:14:02.721 --> 00:14:05.024
  • Bible teaches now.
  • 00:14:05.024 --> 00:14:08.193
  • Now we got a problem.
  • 00:14:08.193 --> 00:14:10.562
  • Here we are.
  • 00:14:10.562 --> 00:14:12.064
  • Breath his left his body.
  • 00:14:12.064 --> 00:14:13.565
  • Shazam!
  • 00:14:13.565 --> 00:14:15.167
  • We have a supernatural body, the lack of
  • 00:14:15.167 --> 00:14:18.103
  • Which is a resurrected body of jesus christ.
  • 00:14:18.103 --> 00:14:20.973
  • And we see there's
  • 00:14:21.407 --> 00:14:22.374
  • A divinity, there's recognition, etc., etc.
  • 00:14:22.374 --> 00:14:25.477
  • And exposition, the explosion of our gifts.
  • 00:14:25.477 --> 00:14:28.480
  • And now where are we going to live
  • 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:32.551
  • When i've got
  • 00:14:32.918 --> 00:14:33.719
  • This supernatural body?
  • 00:14:33.719 --> 00:14:36.488
  • Where will that body live throughout all eternity?
  • 00:14:36.488 --> 00:14:39.558
  • This is the wonderful thing.
  • 00:14:39.558 --> 00:14:40.993
  • It will live
  • 00:14:40.993 --> 00:14:43.228
  • In a new heaven and a new earth.
  • 00:14:43.228 --> 00:14:46.632
  • It'll live right here in this domain, except the earth
  • 00:14:46.632 --> 00:14:50.769
  • Will go back to a pristine kind of existence.
  • 00:14:50.769 --> 00:14:55.374
  • Now let's get some absolutes built down.
  • 00:14:56.241 --> 00:14:59.611
  • Some biblical absolutes that you need to know.
  • 00:14:59.611 --> 00:15:02.114
  • Look on your screen.
  • 00:15:02.114 --> 00:15:04.083
  • Look at them.
  • 00:15:04.083 --> 00:15:05.217
  • God made adam and eve to be spiritual and physical,
  • 00:15:05.217 --> 00:15:09.388
  • And they were not human until they were both
  • 00:15:09.388 --> 00:15:12.958
  • Record that god often took
  • 00:15:13.525 --> 00:15:15.928
  • On human form in the old testament times,
  • 00:15:15.928 --> 00:15:18.697
  • He was likely in human form as he walked in
  • 00:15:18.697 --> 00:15:22.001
  • Eden.
  • 00:15:22.234 --> 00:15:24.970
  • God took on a human body, becoming a man in christ,
  • 00:15:24.970 --> 00:15:27.973
  • Not just temporarily, but forever.
  • 00:15:27.973 --> 00:15:30.843
  • This is that god took on a human form in
  • 00:15:30.843 --> 00:15:34.646
  • Jesus christ, second person, a trinity.
  • 00:15:34.646 --> 00:15:37.383
  • He became a human, a man,
  • 00:15:37.383 --> 00:15:41.787
  • Not just temporarily, but get this forever.
  • 00:15:41.787 --> 00:15:45.958
  • Remember, he said, he'll be with us in christ.
  • 00:15:45.958 --> 00:15:48.060
  • Isn't that something god raised?
  • 00:15:48.060 --> 00:15:50.229
  • Christ in human body was physical properties.
  • 00:15:50.229 --> 00:15:53.699
  • A body that walked tom eight could be touched.
  • 00:15:53.699 --> 00:15:57.770
  • He explicitly stated he wasn't a ghost.
  • 00:15:57.770 --> 00:16:02.041
  • God made mankind in his image.
  • 00:16:02.641 --> 00:16:05.077
  • Because humans are physical beings.
  • 00:16:05.077 --> 00:16:07.179
  • Though god is spirit.
  • 00:16:07.179 --> 00:16:08.547
  • There must be something
  • 00:16:08.547 --> 00:16:09.648
  • About our human bodies that reflects god's identity.
  • 00:16:09.648 --> 00:16:13.452
  • Certainly, there's
  • 00:16:13.452 --> 00:16:14.420
  • Nothing about our bodies that repulsive god
  • 00:16:14.420 --> 00:16:17.623
  • Who created humanity as a crowning achievement.
  • 00:16:17.623 --> 00:16:21.960
  • God's holy spirit indwells
  • 00:16:22.528 --> 00:16:24.263
  • Human bodies and calls them his holy temples.
  • 00:16:24.263 --> 00:16:27.399
  • God will raise people with eternal listen to this
  • 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:31.103
  • Physical, spiritual bodies
  • 00:16:31.103 --> 00:16:34.640
  • That come down to inhabit the new earth with them.
  • 00:16:34.640 --> 00:16:39.611
  • Look, heaven is not out there in another cosmos,
  • 00:16:39.611 --> 00:16:43.849
  • Another galaxy.
  • 00:16:43.849 --> 00:16:45.117
  • You're up there, over there.
  • 00:16:45.117 --> 00:16:46.819
  • Heaven will be here.
  • 00:16:46.819 --> 00:16:49.254
  • A new heaven and a new earth.
  • 00:16:49.254 --> 00:16:51.156
  • Now we're not going to deal with.
  • 00:16:51.156 --> 00:16:54.493
  • Don't ask me.
  • 00:16:54.493 --> 00:16:55.494
  • After the service, the little interim period
  • 00:16:55.494 --> 00:16:58.831
  • That some talk about between death
  • 00:16:58.831 --> 00:17:02.367
  • And eternity and our supernatural bodies
  • 00:17:02.367 --> 00:17:05.704
  • In the supernatural new heaven and earth.
  • 00:17:05.704 --> 00:17:07.806
  • Because that will come
  • 00:17:07.806 --> 00:17:08.974
  • When jesus comes and brings down the curtain of history.
  • 00:17:08.974 --> 00:17:12.678
  • And some would talk about purgatory,
  • 00:17:12.678 --> 00:17:17.282
  • But we're going to wait for that sequencing.
  • 00:17:17.282 --> 00:17:19.685
  • Okay, would you do that?
  • 00:17:19.685 --> 00:17:21.086
  • But in the meantime,
  • 00:17:21.086 --> 00:17:23.322
  • On this earth, there's a lot of groaning going on.
  • 00:17:23.322 --> 00:17:26.492
  • Did you know this earth groans
  • 00:17:26.492 --> 00:17:29.695
  • It really does.
  • 00:17:30.062 --> 00:17:31.263
  • Do you know there's groaning and you and me what is that
  • 00:17:31.263 --> 00:17:33.699
  • Groaning the earth and human and human human beings.
  • 00:17:33.699 --> 00:17:37.970
  • Humanity fell in the garden of eden.
  • 00:17:37.970 --> 00:17:40.239
  • That is the great sin
  • 00:17:40.239 --> 00:17:42.908
  • That is in chapter three.
  • 00:17:42.908 --> 00:17:45.144
  • All of a sudden, adam and eve, who had open hands
  • 00:17:45.144 --> 00:17:48.714
  • And bent knees before god.
  • 00:17:49.281 --> 00:17:51.683
  • Now they close their hands and they straighten
  • 00:17:51.683 --> 00:17:54.386
  • Out their knees because they said, i want to be a god.
  • 00:17:54.386 --> 00:17:59.191
  • I want to run my own life.
  • 00:17:59.191 --> 00:18:01.293
  • That is the ultimate, basic sin that all of us are
  • 00:18:01.293 --> 00:18:05.297
  • Caught up in.
  • 00:18:05.297 --> 00:18:06.231
  • And that's the basic sin of adam and eve.
  • 00:18:06.231 --> 00:18:08.800
  • Close hands, unbuilt knee.
  • 00:18:09.368 --> 00:18:12.437
  • I'm going to make my choices of what i eat, where i go,
  • 00:18:12.437 --> 00:18:15.974
  • How i live, and determine the destiny of my life.
  • 00:18:15.974 --> 00:18:20.112
  • That is a fallenness.
  • 00:18:20.112 --> 00:18:21.580
  • And when man fell
  • 00:18:21.580 --> 00:18:24.616
  • Close his
  • 00:18:24.917 --> 00:18:25.851
  • Hands and knees, the whole creation fell.
  • 00:18:25.851 --> 00:18:29.488
  • We live in a world that is under the curse of god,
  • 00:18:29.488 --> 00:18:33.225
  • And we live in a human life under the curse of god.
  • 00:18:33.225 --> 00:18:37.129
  • And we see what happens to this curse.
  • 00:18:37.963 --> 00:18:41.300
  • How is it removed?
  • 00:18:41.300 --> 00:18:42.935
  • And that comes to what jesus christ did on the cross.
  • 00:18:42.935 --> 00:18:46.972
  • And you see evidence of the removal of that curse,
  • 00:18:46.972 --> 00:18:50.242
  • Where in the scars of jesus
  • 00:18:50.242 --> 00:18:53.345
  • Here you have the apostles and they look at jesus.
  • 00:18:53.345 --> 00:18:56.682
  • They thought they were on a presidential campaign
  • 00:18:56.682 --> 00:18:59.551
  • And jesus was going to be elected president.
  • 00:18:59.551 --> 00:19:03.121
  • But once he was captured, and once they saw those nails
  • 00:19:03.121 --> 00:19:06.291
  • Nailed in his hand,
  • 00:19:06.291 --> 00:19:07.426
  • They said, look, it's not going to happen.
  • 00:19:07.426 --> 00:19:09.962
  • But little did they know, there's those nails that left.
  • 00:19:09.962 --> 00:19:13.298
  • The scars did not mean the end, but it meant the beginning
  • 00:19:13.298 --> 00:19:17.302
  • Of the eternal salvation.
  • 00:19:17.302 --> 00:19:19.738
  • They turn to salvation.
  • 00:19:20.239 --> 00:19:22.374
  • And so here we go, the groaning.
  • 00:19:22.374 --> 00:19:25.277
  • I want you to read
  • 00:19:25.277 --> 00:19:26.311
  • Not in the new american standard, the king james
  • 00:19:26.311 --> 00:19:29.014
  • Algieri peterson's translation of this passage and
  • 00:19:29.014 --> 00:19:32.284
  • In romans chapter eight.
  • 00:19:32.284 --> 00:19:33.518
  • Tremendous.
  • 00:19:33.518 --> 00:19:34.953
  • This resurrection life you receive from god
  • 00:19:34.953 --> 00:19:38.257
  • Is not a timid, grave tending life.
  • 00:19:38.257 --> 00:19:42.194
  • It's an adventurously expectant greeting
  • 00:19:42.194 --> 00:19:45.297
  • God with a childlike what's next, papa god?
  • 00:19:45.297 --> 00:19:49.935
  • Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we are,
  • 00:19:49.935 --> 00:19:53.605
  • Who we really are.
  • 00:19:53.605 --> 00:19:55.140
  • We know who he is.
  • 00:19:55.140 --> 00:19:56.842
  • We know what we are, father and children,
  • 00:19:56.842 --> 00:20:00.212
  • And we know we're going to get what's coming to us.
  • 00:20:00.212 --> 00:20:03.682
  • Listen, an unbelievable inheritance.
  • 00:20:03.682 --> 00:20:08.020
  • Look at the rest of it.
  • 00:20:08.020 --> 00:20:09.421
  • And that's why i don't think there's any comparison
  • 00:20:09.421 --> 00:20:13.125
  • Between the present hard times and the coming good times.
  • 00:20:13.125 --> 00:20:17.396
  • The creative world itself can hardly wait for
  • 00:20:17.396 --> 00:20:20.766
  • What's coming next. that's the groaning.
  • 00:20:20.766 --> 00:20:23.035
  • Everything in creation is being more or less held back.
  • 00:20:23.035 --> 00:20:26.305
  • God reigns.
  • 00:20:26.638 --> 00:20:27.839
  • It in until both creation and all the creatures are ready
  • 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:33.912
  • And can be released at the same moment.
  • 00:20:33.912 --> 00:20:36.748
  • Enter the glorious times ahead.
  • 00:20:36.748 --> 00:20:38.984
  • Meantime, the joyful anticipation deepens
  • 00:20:38.984 --> 00:20:42.921
  • The anticipation
  • 00:20:42.921 --> 00:20:44.356
  • Of the supernatural body in a supernatural world, everybody
  • 00:20:44.356 --> 00:20:49.594
  • Will become everything that
  • 00:20:50.195 --> 00:20:53.165
  • God built into you and built into me to become.
  • 00:20:53.165 --> 00:20:57.669
  • We'll be able to accomplish in heaven
  • 00:20:57.669 --> 00:20:59.971
  • Everything that we did not accomplish on this earth,
  • 00:20:59.971 --> 00:21:03.208
  • And so many things
  • 00:21:03.208 --> 00:21:04.209
  • We didn't have time to accomplish,
  • 00:21:04.209 --> 00:21:05.944
  • We didn't have opportunity to accomplish.
  • 00:21:05.944 --> 00:21:07.846
  • And because of things
  • 00:21:07.846 --> 00:21:08.914
  • That happened in our background,
  • 00:21:08.914 --> 00:21:10.415
  • We were unable to accomplishment.
  • 00:21:10.415 --> 00:21:12.484
  • Understand this.
  • 00:21:12.484 --> 00:21:15.387
  • Only those things
  • 00:21:15.387 --> 00:21:17.723
  • That have died in you and in me
  • 00:21:17.723 --> 00:21:21.126
  • Will ever be resurrected.
  • 00:21:21.693 --> 00:21:24.896
  • Only there has to be a death.
  • 00:21:24.896 --> 00:21:27.499
  • There can be resurrection.
  • 00:21:27.499 --> 00:21:29.534
  • What does that mean?
  • 00:21:29.534 --> 00:21:32.170
  • My mother,
  • 00:21:32.170 --> 00:21:34.106
  • God fearing woman, stern,
  • 00:21:34.106 --> 00:21:37.142
  • Tough, disciplinarian, trouble
  • 00:21:37.743 --> 00:21:41.780
  • Loving, openly and genuinely, even even myself as her son.
  • 00:21:41.780 --> 00:21:47.052
  • In the process, i have look back
  • 00:21:47.753 --> 00:21:49.855
  • And in my study at home i have a picture of my mom.
  • 00:21:49.855 --> 00:21:53.525
  • There,
  • 00:21:53.525 --> 00:21:54.493
  • And i look at her and i
  • 00:21:54.993 --> 00:21:56.561
  • Say, mom, for now in heaven,
  • 00:21:56.561 --> 00:21:59.931
  • Or you have killed those things
  • 00:22:00.565 --> 00:22:03.435
  • That limited you, loving, limited you in this life.
  • 00:22:03.435 --> 00:22:08.006
  • She, my mother, was a very manipulative person.
  • 00:22:08.006 --> 00:22:10.442
  • You say behind the world. why was she like that?
  • 00:22:10.442 --> 00:22:12.677
  • Because she was one of.
  • 00:22:12.677 --> 00:22:14.312
  • She had four sisters and four older sisters.
  • 00:22:14.312 --> 00:22:17.082
  • She was a baby when my grandfather died early
  • 00:22:17.082 --> 00:22:20.252
  • In a little farm.
  • 00:22:20.252 --> 00:22:21.553
  • My grandmother
  • 00:22:21.553 --> 00:22:22.687
  • Took those four daughters, moved to la, mississippi,
  • 00:22:22.687 --> 00:22:25.223
  • And those five daughters and four of them
  • 00:22:25.223 --> 00:22:27.459
  • Could go to work doing all kinds of things.
  • 00:22:27.459 --> 00:22:29.961
  • My grandmother sewed.
  • 00:22:29.961 --> 00:22:31.730
  • They lived very, very, very modestly.
  • 00:22:31.730 --> 00:22:34.933
  • My mother was went to school.
  • 00:22:34.933 --> 00:22:37.035
  • So as the youngest child, she had to manipulate her older
  • 00:22:37.035 --> 00:22:41.206
  • Sisters to get close, to get mean.
  • 00:22:41.206 --> 00:22:43.675
  • So she would have things there.
  • 00:22:43.675 --> 00:22:44.943
  • So she became god in the business
  • 00:22:44.943 --> 00:22:47.379
  • Of manipulation early in her life,
  • 00:22:47.379 --> 00:22:49.448
  • And she carried that all the way through.
  • 00:22:49.448 --> 00:22:51.550
  • So there was that lack of genuineness.
  • 00:22:51.550 --> 00:22:54.486
  • And i looked at my mother's picture and i said, mom
  • 00:22:54.486 --> 00:22:57.422
  • In heaven, isn't it grateful that manipulation has died?
  • 00:22:57.422 --> 00:23:02.093
  • Is no
  • 00:23:02.327 --> 00:23:03.462
  • It grateful now in heaven you can love freely in it.
  • 00:23:03.462 --> 00:23:06.798
  • Grateful in heaven
  • 00:23:06.798 --> 00:23:07.566
  • You won't be limited with poverty
  • 00:23:07.566 --> 00:23:09.468
  • And things that you did not have.
  • 00:23:09.468 --> 00:23:10.969
  • And things you could not do.
  • 00:23:10.969 --> 00:23:12.504
  • Now you be able to spread your wings in.
  • 00:23:12.504 --> 00:23:15.540
  • You look at those who have gone ahead of you
  • 00:23:15.540 --> 00:23:17.776
  • Brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, friends
  • 00:23:17.776 --> 00:23:20.512
  • And you say, boy, boy, what they could have been, what
  • 00:23:20.512 --> 00:23:22.681
  • They should have been,
  • 00:23:22.681 --> 00:23:23.748
  • What what might have happened in heaven.
  • 00:23:23.748 --> 00:23:26.818
  • We will become and achieve all these things,
  • 00:23:26.818 --> 00:23:29.521
  • Because all of that which limited us will be dead,
  • 00:23:29.521 --> 00:23:33.658
  • And it will be resurrected again along with our bodies,
  • 00:23:33.658 --> 00:23:37.529
  • As we live in a resurrected body, in a resurrected world
  • 00:23:37.529 --> 00:23:42.501
  • That is heaven.
  • 00:23:42.868 --> 00:23:47.506
  • Boy, if we could see
  • 00:23:47.973 --> 00:23:49.140
  • All those who graduated before us,
  • 00:23:49.140 --> 00:23:52.077
  • So will there be any children in heaven?
  • 00:23:52.077 --> 00:23:53.979
  • Absolutely.
  • 00:23:53.979 --> 00:23:55.180
  • What would heaven be without kids?
  • 00:23:55.180 --> 00:23:57.549
  • What about the little baby that never really saw life?
  • 00:23:57.549 --> 00:24:00.151
  • Wouldn't it be thrilling to see that baby
  • 00:24:00.151 --> 00:24:01.920
  • Grow up in a perfect earth, in a super environment?
  • 00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:06.024
  • That would be something to behold, wouldn't it?
  • 00:24:06.024 --> 00:24:08.226
  • So i'm saying god in his equalizing,
  • 00:24:08.226 --> 00:24:11.963
  • But god in his infinite wisdom, will see that heaven is all.
  • 00:24:11.963 --> 00:24:16.067
  • And more than anything we could ever dream
  • 00:24:16.067 --> 00:24:19.104
  • I have not seen here is not heard,
  • 00:24:19.104 --> 00:24:21.072
  • Neither enter the heart of man what god has prepared
  • 00:24:21.072 --> 00:24:24.342
  • For those who end up in love with him.
  • 00:24:24.342 --> 00:24:28.980
  • That's heaven
  • 00:24:28.980 --> 00:24:30.815
  • Who invented pleasure,
  • 00:24:31.283 --> 00:24:35.053
  • Who invented laughter,
  • 00:24:35.520 --> 00:24:38.657
  • Who invented love,
  • 00:24:38.657 --> 00:24:41.126
  • Who invented fun,
  • 00:24:41.126 --> 00:24:43.261
  • Who invented friendship,
  • 00:24:43.261 --> 00:24:45.864
  • Who invented celebration, who invented dancing
  • 00:24:45.864 --> 00:24:50.502
  • And shouting and praising and who and who put on.
  • 00:24:50.502 --> 00:24:54.472
  • Somebody has the idea that when you talk about heaven,
  • 00:24:54.472 --> 00:24:57.876
  • The pastor has to have a stained glass voice.
  • 00:24:57.876 --> 00:25:02.013
  • You brethren.
  • 00:25:02.380 --> 00:25:03.481
  • Very well, i know all about that.
  • 00:25:03.481 --> 00:25:06.451
  • Man. heaven.
  • 00:25:06.785 --> 00:25:08.687
  • We know as we have been known,
  • 00:25:08.687 --> 00:25:11.256
  • Heaven will be a time of celebration.
  • 00:25:11.256 --> 00:25:13.858
  • And i'm sure those who are in christ have gone ahead of us.
  • 00:25:13.858 --> 00:25:16.695
  • They said, oh, and they can see me now.
  • 00:25:16.695 --> 00:25:19.965
  • C.s. lewis preached a great sermon in heaven.
  • 00:25:19.965 --> 00:25:22.567
  • He called it the weight of glory.
  • 00:25:22.567 --> 00:25:25.270
  • And in this sermon
  • 00:25:25.270 --> 00:25:26.404
  • He said, if we see just ordinary folks in heaven today,
  • 00:25:26.404 --> 00:25:30.175
  • They'd have such a weight of glory and a glow on them
  • 00:25:30.175 --> 00:25:33.578
  • And a radiance on them, we would bow down and worship.
  • 00:25:33.578 --> 00:25:37.115
  • We bow down in worship.
  • 00:25:37.616 --> 00:25:39.951
  • Oh, listen.
  • 00:25:40.285 --> 00:25:43.421
  • All we have to do.
  • 00:25:43.855 --> 00:25:47.192
  • Was tied hands.
  • 00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:50.061
  • Open them up!
  • 00:25:50.061 --> 00:25:52.030
  • Those unbent knees just bend them.
  • 00:25:52.030 --> 00:25:55.867
  • And all of a sudden, in your life,
  • 00:25:56.635 --> 00:25:58.303
  • Now and forever, there will be that.
  • 00:25:58.303 --> 00:26:02.340
  • Shows i am
  • 00:26:02.641 --> 00:26:04.776
  • Said with me.
