Here is a recap of our message from this weekend...

The End: All Rise

In Week 3 of “The End,” Pastor Jared unpacks the sobering and powerful reality of the Final Judgment in a message titled “All Rise.” Drawing from Revelation 20 and other key scriptures, we’re reminded that every person will stand before God—and the question won't be “Were you perfect?” but “Were you Mine?” This message challenges us to live aware, love radically, and lead others boldly in light of eternity.

The Sunday Outline & Notes

Pastor Jared opens this week’s message with a gripping comparison between a courtroom verdict and the Final Judgment. Just like those intense courtroom moments, the judgment seat of Christ demands every soul’s full attention—because eternity hangs in the balance. While many avoid the topic or fear it due to past experiences, Pastor Jared reminds us: judgment is not about fear—it’s about fairness. It’s God making all things right.

Point 1: Judgement is Final and Personal

Pulling from Revelation 20:11–15, Pastor Jared teaches that everyone, rich or poor, great or small, will stand before God. What will be judged is not what we intended or claimed, but what we actually did. The analogy of showing up at a gym but never working out drives home the point: going through religious motions without transformation won’t fool God. In eternity, there are no group projects, each of us is individually accountable to God.

Point 2: Judgement Won't Produce Fake Fruit

From Matthew 25, we learn that Jesus separates sheep from goats based on the fruit of their lives, not their words, affiliations, or attendance. Real faith produces action. Fake faith, like a decorative houseplant, might look good from a distance but has no roots. James 2:17 makes it plain: faith without works is dead. Jesus doesn’t want decorative Christians, He wants transformed, fruit-bearing followers.

Point 3: Judgement Goes Beyond Salvation

Many believers assume that once they’re saved, they no longer need to think about how they live. But Pastor Jared reviews the concept of the Bema Seat (2 Corinthians 5:10), where believers are judged for their stewardship. It’s not about salvation, it’s about what we did with what God gave us. Avoiding sin isn’t enough. God asks: what did you build?

From Sermon to Action

To prepare for that day, we’re called to live differently:

1. Live Soberly (1 Peter 1:16): Be holy. Let eternity shape your choices.
2. Love Radically (Matthew 25:40): Treat people like you’re treating Jesus.
3. Lead Others Boldly (Jude 1:23): Share the gospel with urgency.

In the end, titles, resumes, and intentions won’t matter. The only thing that will count is: Did your life reflect that you knew Him? The final judgment isn’t about what you did wrong—it’s about how you responded to what Jesus did right.
