Heavenly Faq's

June 28, 2015 • Bill Young

Most people have questions about heaven, but they don’t know where to go for answers. Having an understanding of heavenly realities can have a profound, practical impact on our day-to-day lives. In this message, Pastor Bill will tackle the most common questions people ask about heaven. In doing so, he will help you prepare for eternity with God in paradise. He’ll look at questions like: Will we recognize each other in heaven? Won’t remembering past make heaven miserable? What about babies that die? How about those who have never heard of Jesus? And ,of course, do all dogs go to heaven? And many more...

What is the New Earth?

The New Earth is the final destination for believers - but what will it be like? Some liken it to Dorothy’s experience in the "Wizard of Oz", when she transitioned from the black and white world with pain, tears and sorrow, into the wonderful world of Technicolor! It’s almost too good to imagine - but we are told in Colossians 3:1-2 to, “Set our minds on things above...” Many religions characterize the afterlife as vague and intangible -- not Christianity! In this message, we will take a look at three things we can know about the New Earth (Heaven).

What is the Resurrection?

Is the Resurrection real? If so, is it important? The Apostle Paul considered it essential. He stated in 1 Corinthians 15:13-14 “If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.” Wow! If there is no Resurrection, we have no hope! For centuries, Christians have put their hope in the Resurrection -- not just Heaven. Why? In this message, we’ll take a look at three reasons we can find hope in the Resurrection ... and the implications of that in our lives.

What Happens When I Die?

We need to cultivate a proper image of our heavenly home. Paul thought it was important for us to understand. He states in 1 Thessalonians 4:13, “Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep...” Of course, “falling asleep” is aneuphemism for those who have died. So, the question becomes: "What happens to us the second we die?" We most often think of "Eternal Heaven" as what the Bible calls the New Earth - a place Christians live in forever, after the resurrection. But, the fact is, the Bible talks about a place we call the “Intermediate Heaven” - the place we go to right after we die, but before the New Earth. In this message, we will look at three facts about "Intermediate Heaven".
