Eternity Begins Now

Heaven on Earth: Week 1 (Easter Sunday)

March 31, 2024 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Luke 24:36–43

The Resurrection Raises Questions. The bodily resurrection of Jesus is the inauguration of our resurrection that will take place at the consummation of all things! The resurrection body of Jesus raises some questions.

Heaven on Earth: Week 2

April 7, 2024 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • 1 Corinthians 15:35–41

How will we be after Resurrecting? Will we know everything? Will we have emotions? Will we be naked? Will we be able to sin? The bodily resurrection of Jesus raises lots of questions like these.

Heaven on Earth: Week 3

April 14, 2024 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Romans 8:18–25

Where will we be after Resurrecting? What if heaven is a place on earth? Would that disappoint you or excite you? Before the cosmos was bent by sin, God created heaven and earth and called it good.

Heaven on Earth: Week 4

April 21, 2024 • Dan Hampton • Luke 14:12–24

What will we do after Resurrecting? Some think strumming harps on clouds is our eternal future. They fear forever boredom. Similarly, some ask if we’ll “have sex in heaven.” This is akin to the boy who asked if he can still play video games on his honeymoon when he grows-up and gets married.

Heaven on Earth: Week 5

April 28, 2024 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Luke 16:19–31

What is our relationship to others in Eternity? Where are those who die before the resurrection? Will we weep over loved ones separated by eternity? Will we be surprised by seeing old enemies feasting alongside us at the heavenly banquet?
