Our Ultimate Comfort part 2

September 21, 2024

We have been enjoying a verse by verse exploration of First Thessalonians and we wrap up our look at chapter four today.We’ve all pondered the ultimate question in life: What happens when you die?  Well, the Apostle Paul tells us it’s much different for believers than it is for unbelievers. Of course we know about heaven and hell, but in our study today, Pastor Al shows us that Paul gets a little more specific in this passage.

 Pastor Al Pittman has been leading us through a verse by verse study of First Thessalonians.  I’ve been to quite a number of funerals, and I’m sure you have to.  When we go to a Christian’s funeral, we should walk away thinking about how great it’s going to be to see them in heaven again. That’s not just wishful thinking, but the promise of God, and the great hope that we have. Today, pastor Al is going to speak about the afterlife.  There are just two destinations, and we encourage you to look at your own life to see where you’re headed.

This incident lead to the discipline of Achan.

About Al Pittman

Al was born in Panama City, Florida in 1955. His father was a career soldier, so the family traveled extensively.

Soon after, Al realized God’s call on  his life and began serving in the music ministry as a bass guitarist with a Christian band  called, “The Rays of Light.” It was during this time that Al met Norma, and they were married on July 19, 1975. 

Al attended Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, graduating in 1977 with a degree in Biblical Studies. In 1991 Al and his family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and two years later he joined the staff of Calvary Chapel Albuquerque as an assistant pastor and co-worship leader. In the spring of 1997 the Lord called Al and his family back to Colorado Springs to pastor Calvary Worship Center. In 2006, Al earned his Master’s degree and in 2012 he earned his Doctorate degree in Ministry from Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Al and Norma are the proud parents of three children, Renee, Nathan and Reggie, as well as proud grandparents.
