    Are You Ready?
    Pre-trib, Post-trib.  Which one is it?  Well I have my opinion (and in this sermon I state some of the reasons for it).  But the question I ask is are you ready.  What if your opinion is wrong and the other option comes true.  Are you ready for that other reality?  Be ready.

    Hell is not a place I like to talk a lot about, but it is a teaching throughout the Bible and a subject that was on the lips of Jesus on several occasions.  Hell is a real place.  Just as real as Heaven.  So learn what the Bible teaches about Hell.  Spoiler alert: Jesus did go to Hell when he died.

    Bite-Sized Hope
    Can we be hopeful all the time?  Probably not.  We all will probably encounter times when our doubts and fears overwhelm us.  But as we see in this sermon, God often gives us bite sized pieces of hope that we can grab onto during those time in order to bring us through.  And best of all, when we cling to these small hunks of hope over time can develop a habit of being more hopeful.
