Pastor Vlad shares a powerful message of the hope that we have in Heaven - this sermon will encourage you and will give you fresh insight on what awaits us as believers. Rejoice in the Lord always!
Notes:
Everyone wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die!
1. THERE IS MORE THAN ONE HEAVEN!
God is the Creator of the heavens.
The first heaven is our atmosphere.
The second heaven is the invisible realm, where demons and angels are at.
The third heaven is where God lives.
Heaven is called:
- The Father's house (John 14:2)
- A city designed and built by God (Hebrews 11:10)
- A better country (Hebrews 11:16)
- Paradise (Luke 23:43)
2. HEAVEN IS OUR FUTURE HOME AND OUR PRESENT HOPE.
God commands us to be heavenly minded (Philippians 3:19; Colossians 3:2)
3. WHERE CHRISTIANS GO WHEN THEY DIE IT’S NOT WHERE THEY WILL SPEND ETERNITY!
Revelation 21:1,2
What will not be in heaven:
1. No tears.
2. No pain.
3. No cemetery.
4. No hospitals.
5. No police.
6. No locks or alarms.
7. No jail.
8. No orphanages.
4. HEAVEN IS AN UNKNOWN REGION WITH A WELL-KNOWN INHABITANT.
Revelation 21:3
“My knowledge of that life is small, the eye of faith is dim, but it's enough that Christ knows all, and I shall be with him.” Richard Baxter
5. THIS WORLD IS NOT YOUR HOME, IT’S YOUR HOTEL!
Life is as fast as wind, as temporal as grass, as lasting as flower, as passing as shadow, vanishes as vapor), death as water spilled. To gain this life is to lose it.
This world is not our home, we are just passing through!
HEAVEN IS A PREPARED PLACE FOR A PREPARED PEOPLE.
