Magnificent 7 : week 5

Levi Lusko - Fresh Life Church

Welcome Home

John 14:1-6

Not behave and get saved, but believe and receive.

Ephesians 2

In this passage of scripture it's THE Thursday night before Good Friday.

Washed the disciples feet.

Gave communion dinner.

Matthew 16:21

You ask Jesus - you receive - and then you need to step out in faith.

The blessing is in the going.

God gives them words of hope and help in these 6 scriptures.

He gave these words to give them hope in not only His death, but in their own deaths.

Takeaway Truths :

1. Jesus is the answer to the ache within

Why do we always feel like there's one last thing we need?

If I just had...

We chase the initial high.

Our hearts are troubled.

John 14:1 "let not your hears be troubled"

Jesus said, I'll see you on the other side.

Never doubt in the shade what Jesus told you in the sunshine.

We make permanent decisions in temporary emotions.

Jesus was going to keep walking on by.

He was waiting to be wanted.

Because He's a gentleman.

Jesus is saying He's the answer to whatever is troubling your heart.

"The greatest calamity is not to feel far from home when you are, but to feel right at home when you're not." Max Lucado

Richness is not possible outside of God.

2. Death is not the end

You are a soul and you currently have a body.

John 14:2 there is more after death

Hebrews 9:27

Absent with the body, present with the Lord.

Death is not leaving home, it's heading home, where Jesus says, "welcome Home."

Prepare : mean the cross

You are made in the image of God so when He says let there be light and there is light, you have that power too.

What you speak has the power of life or death.

We only get your words to judge you by.

Let's live a life that attracts others in and wants them to live like us.

Generous

3. Heaven is an upgrade

"mansion"

Heaven is far better.

Paul got to go to Heaven and described it as far better

4. There's room for everyone

John 14:2 there are many mansions

Ezekiel 33:11 He gets no pleasure in the death of the wicked

5. There are many ways to miss Heaven

There is only one way to go there.

"I AM the way."

"No one comes to the Father except through Me."

Heaven is closed off to no one, but is only accessed through The One.

"In that magnificent statement Jesus answered the three greatest questions of the human heart." John Phillips

You don't need to loop to a map, you look to the Messiah.

1 John 5:12

Do you have the Son?

Whom the Son sets free is free indeed!
