Fusion: week of 6/10

FAMILY THEME: THE BELIEVER'S IDENTITY

2 Corinthians 5:1-21

Though our earthly bodies are only "temporary housing", we 

look forward to Heaven. Until then, we make it our aim to

please God as His ambassadors, aware of the judgment to

come, motivated by His love, and living as His new creation.

1.  We Look Forward to a New Glorified Body in Heaven

     (2 Corinthians 5:1-8)

     According to the United States Social Security

     Administration, an average life expectancy for

     men who reach age 65 is 84.3 years. A woman

     reaching age 65 can expect to lie until age 86.6.

     We all know that we won't live forever here on this

     earth.

 
2.  We Seek to Please Christ in Appreciation for All He

     Has Done for Us

     (2 Corinthians 5:9-15)

     Paul, the author of this letter to the Corinthians,

     had a goal in life. We should as well.

 
3.  God Has Chosen to Continue His Work Through Us

     (2 Corinthians 5:16-21)

     If you are one of God's children, you have been

     chosen to be His ambassador to the world!
