Dean Elliott teaches from 2 Timothy 2:8–19. In contrast to last week’s stand-alone message on hell and the Great White Throne judgment for non-believers, he explains that believers will be resurrected and appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, where their lives will be evaluated. At that judgment, believers will either receive rewards or lose rewards based on how they lived. The sermon emphasizes that life is ultimately better and more meaningful when believers obey and live their lives for the Lord.
