The Plan 16 / Things to Come

In this session we consider the reality of the end of our time here on Earth. Our present lives will end. After that comes the judgment. For those “in Christ” we are soberly aware that God the Father working in Christ through the Spirit will make us blameless on that day. In the meantime, we persuade others to trust Christ in order to be prepared for the reality of that day.
