Summary
This sermon addresses the controversial topic of hell and its nature, sparked by recent debates between Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort. The pastor explains three different views of hell: eternal conscious torment, annihilationism, and universalism. He provides a detailed biblical analysis using Greek and Hebrew terms (Sheol, Hades, Gehenna, Tartarus) to demonstrate that hell is eternal, not temporary. The sermon emphasizes that the same Greek word ‘aionios’ (eternal) is used to describe both heaven and hell, meaning they have the same duration. The pastor concludes by encouraging believers to focus on serving God faithfully, as their works will be rewarded eternally.
