What can we know about Heaven? Is it a physical place? Will we have an awareness of what’s happening on Earth while we’re there? What can we look forward to? We talk about these questions and more this third week of our Heaven series.

Are you filled with a longing for perfection, certainty, security, and ultimate fulfillment that nothing on earth will satisfy? The new Heaven and new Earth will be your best earth location perfected; it will be glory fulfilled.

Death is a guarantee in this world but Heaven is our hope; it is the reason we go on, a gift freely given. Does your life look like you are living with hope and if so, are you willing to share the hope that you have?

How does your hope of the future affect your present? How does the promise of eternity drive your everyday decision-making? Salvation is a free and secure gift but our future in heaven is affected by what we do here on earth; the hope of heaven should motivate us to live in a way that will encourage others to pursue this assurance of the perfect and eternal final destination.

Children are a critical, irreplaceable part of God's plan for the present and future.

Are you leading a life worthy of your calling? Does your life reflect that you love God and love others?

The 'Church', as in the people not the building, is the hope of the world.

We need Jesus flowing through us to show love and to do good in this world; this is why we need to draw near to Jesus and our brothers and sisters in Christ.

What happens when we physically meet together? Christianity isn’t meant to be a singular experience; God’s power manifests when we gather together.

How do we navigate changes in our lives? We need to hear God. As we prepare to re-enter our church building next week, let's do so with clarity and confidence about the character of God and lean into what He says above all the noise.

The love story of Hosea is really a love story between God and us. When we are away from God’s presence, we don’t experience God’s love, which makes us more susceptible to the lies the enemy tells us about ourselves and our worth.

You will not be disappointed in drawing near to your Heavenly Father; His love for you is undeniable, unconditional, and redeeming.
