Welcome to Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin.

The Church of 1122 is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

And we're praying this message helps you deepen your relationship with him.

Now let's dive in.

All right, welcome back to the Deepen podcast.

Judgment Week. I think maybe one of the... All right. I mean, it's not wrong. It's not wrong. That is what Jesus talks about. Do you remember those Halloween things that churches do called the Judgment House? The Judgment House, bro. I don't know about that. You didn't know? Yeah, I didn't take our youth group to that.

Yeah. Oh, man. Churches. We probably went to Halloween Horn nights. Yeah, so you know, like, people rent out retail shop centers around and do, like, haunted houses. Well, back in the, like, 80s and 90s, there was a church version of that called judgment houses. And churches would set up their gyms and their buildings and their Sunday school classrooms just like a haunted house but it would all be built around like the great white throne

judgment and hell and torment and oh it would be like a car wreck a airline crash uh school shootings would be dead people and me and then it would be like a car wreck a airline crash, uh,

school shootings.

It'd be dead people and me.

And then the,

and then hell would be like the last room.

And then after that,

they'd share the gospel.

Yeah, it was.

Do you feel like it was successful?

People got, some people met Jesus.

I would put this in the category. I think the intentions were probably

headed in the right direction that hell is real. And if I could give you a snapshot of what it

actually was, then you would come running to Jesus. So, but, and then I would put this in the category

where Paul is like, if the gospel is preached

let's give a lot of latitude there right yeah Jude says is and save others by snatching them
