Most people believe in Heaven, but many of them get their heavenly ideas more from culture and cartoons than from Christ. We begin this series on “The Supernatural Realm” learning how to get Heaven right, according to God Himself. // 1. Write out a definition for Heaven, starting with “Heaven is...” Look for ways to incorporate what you learned about Heaven from this episode. Look at John 14:1-9 if you need some help. // 2. Most people understand something has to happen for people to go to Heaven after they die. What do most non-Christians think people have to do to go to Heaven? If Heaven is based on what we do, how could we ever know if we’ve done enough? // 3. Read Revelation 21:1-8. What does God show John in this vision? Which direction is Heaven coming: is it coming “down” to us or are we going “up” to it? How does this directional-shift change way we view Heaven? In Heaven, what is gone? Who is there? And who is not there? // 4. Read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. In v. 13, how were Christians responding to the deaths of others around them? Have you lost someone you love who has died? How do these verses help us cope with the loss of friends or family?
