The Hour Is Coming: Understanding the Two Resurrections That Will Determine Your Eternal Destiny

🗡️ This expository sermon was delivered at Pilgrim Baptist Church in Cookeville, TN on Sunday, September 7, 2025, at 11:00 am. 🗡️

What happens when every person who has ever lived stands before God? In this powerful Bible study, Pastor Fortunato unpacks the sobering truth about the two resurrections described in John 5:28-30 - one leading to eternal life, the other to eternal damnation. This isn't just another sermon about heaven and hell; it's a critical examination of what Scripture actually teaches about the final judgment and how your response to the Gospel today determines where you'll spend eternity.

📖 Diving deep into both John chapter 5 and Revelation 20, this message reveals the stark reality of the Great White Throne Judgment, where the dead will be judged according to their works. Pastor Fortunato carefully explains why good works cannot save us, addressing the common misconception that being a "good person" is enough to enter heaven. Through careful biblical exposition, discover what it truly means when Jesus says "they that have done good unto the resurrection of life" and why this isn't about salvation by works.

This sermon powerfully addresses crucial questions every person must face: Is your name written in the Book of Life? What determines whether a name gets blotted out? Why did Jesus commit all judgment to His Word? Parents will find special encouragement regarding the eternal destiny of young children and those unable to oppose God's will.

Whether you're a longtime believer needing biblical clarity on end times judgment, someone questioning your eternal security, or searching for answers about salvation, this message provides clear, verse-by-verse teaching that could change your eternal destiny. Don't wait until Revelation 20 becomes your reality - understand God's plan for judgment and salvation today.
