Destined to Reign: Your Eternal Purpose in God’s Kingdom - 2 Peter

What does it mean to seek a better resurrection (Hebrews 11:35)? Do you know the difference between heaven with a lot of reward and heaven with little reward? And when you think of going to heaven, what is it, exactly, that you're going there to do? This expository sermon unpacks the biblical promise of a rich entry into the eternal kingdom of Jesus Christ. In this sermon, we examine: * Why heaven is far better than an eternal vacation. It's a place of eternal fulfillment through reigning with Christ. * How the Bible's call to "make your calling and election sure" (2 Peter 1:10) connects to a richly provided entry into God's kingdom.

My sermons are the fruit of nearly 30 years of pastoral ministry, biblical counseling, formal seminary training, and a lifelong passion for God's Word. Since childhood, I've been drawn to the beauty and power of expository preaching—opening Scripture verse by verse and applying it to real life. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute, I spent the next 27 years serving as a youth pastor, senior pastor, church planter, and host of the Food For Your Soul radio broadcast. Along the way, I also earned a Master of Sacred Literature and a Doctor of Religious Studies. For more content from D. Richard Ferguson, visit TreasuringGod.com.
