As we continue in our Heaven series, we're reminded that heaven is a full and restored life with God, centered on Christ—where we'll deepen friendships, celebrate without end, and worship with awe, while joyfully working, exploring, learning, and creating in a renewed and perfect world.

Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 4:17, Isaiah 26:6, Genesis 2:15, Romans 8: 9-21, Ephesians 2:7, Revelation 21: 24-26, Revelation 5:9-13

Heaven means being with God—right now for those in Christ, safe and full of joy. But the best is still ahead: a renewed heaven and earth. It's not about where you are, but who you're with—Heaven is renewal, not escape, giving us hope even in grief.

Scriptures: Luke 23: 42-43, Revelation 21: 1-3, John 14: 1-3

In today's sermon Nicodemus shows us a powerful progression of faith. He was curious—wondering if Jesus could really be who He claimed to be. He was cautious—quietly wrestling with whether Jesus was truly worth following. But here, he becomes courageous—publicly honoring Jesus in His death, risking his reputation and everything he had. It's a journey we all walk: Is He true? Is He worth it? And ultimately, what more could I want than Him?

Scriptures: John 19: 38-42

In today's sermon, we see both the need and the way: our need is clear—we've all fallen short—but the way is greater. God, in His grace, makes us right through faith in Jesus, who took our place so we could be made right with Him.

Scriptures: Romans 3:21-26

Romans 2 confronts the danger of trusting in religious identity, knowledge, or outward obedience while the heart remains unchanged. Paul challenges those who boast in the law yet fail to live it, reminding us that God is not impressed by appearances—He looks at the heart. True faith isn't about external markers, but an inward transformation by the Spirit.

Scriptures: Romans 2: 17- 3:8

Paul reminds us that the people who think they're "good" aren't exempt from God's judgment. God's truth is consistent—He judges sin the same in everyone. God's impartiality is fair—He shows no favoritism between the moral and the immoral. And Jesus is the standard by which every life will be measured. The good news for "good" people is that salvation was never about being better than others; it's about receiving the mercy of Christ that none of us could earn.

Scriptures: Romans 2: 1-16

Romans 1:18–23 shows that when people reject God, they begin to crave sin more than Him. Though God has made Himself known, many exchange His glory for lesser things. But the gospel doesn't just change your destination—it changes your desires.

Scriptures: Romans 1: 18-23

The Apostle Paul declares he is not ashamed of the Gospel — because it carries the very power of God to save. Through it, God's righteousness is revealed, proving that salvation is received by faith, not earned by effort.

Scriptures: Romans 1:16-17

Raising godly children begins with relationship, not rules. Affection comes before instruction, and presence matters more than perfection. Kids spell love T-I-M-E. God isn't asking parents to impress their kids — He's asking them to be lovingly present. When children are consistently loved and seen, instruction has meaning and faith becomes believable.

Scriptures: Deuteronomoy 6:4-7, 3 John 1:4

Scriptures: Ephesians 4:32, Proverbs 18:22, 18:13, 20:5, Phillipians 4:8
