Heaven

Heaven is the great hope and the great promise of God. Jesus talked about Heaven so that we would be comforted, encouraged, and strengthened to live for Him in bold and loving ways! However, many Christians today lack a biblical understanding of Heaven, and they live uninspired lives here on Earth - never realizing what great blessings and treasures await those who believe in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins! In this series, we will explore what the bible teaches about Heaven - so that we will not only look forward with great anticipation of what awaits us in our eternal home, but we will also live our earthly lives with abundant joy and peace due to the great reality of Heaven!
