Heaven and Hell
How Can I Know For Sure?
November 13, 2022 • Dr. Randall T. Hahn
There is a forever. You are forever. And we are going to spend forever in either Heaven or Hell. One has to ask, *What can I do? How can I know? Can anyone know?* The good news is God wants You to know and He is patient as you hear and learn. Listen to God’s heart.
Where Do We Go When We Die
November 6, 2022 • Dr. Randall T. Hahn
We have been studying Heaven and Hell since September 18, and we will conclude next week. One of the things we have learned is that while the words Heaven and Hell have a general meaning of where people go when they die, Heaven and Hell are actually places, events that are out there in the future, still to come; which leaves the question, “What about now? Where do we go when we die?” That seems interesting, if not really important.
Q&A on Heaven and Hell
October 30, 2022 • Dr. Randall T. Hahn
Today is our fifth Sunday on Heaven and Hell, with still two more to go, but we have covered enough to generate some questions which I am going to try and answer. We had about 40 people ask over 75 questions, not 75 different questions. There are duplicates so don’t get nervous how long this will take. We will hear answers we understand and agree with, some that will enlighten. There may be some that still leave us unsatisfied or confused, or don’t like. On those we rest on God’s word, God’s character.
What Makes Heaven, Heaven; or Hell, Hell?
October 23, 2022 • Dr. Randall T. Hahn
What would make Heaven, Heaven for You? What is it hard to imagine Heaven not having? I imagine most of us have something: a pet, a person, a pleasure, a place. I mean we are sure Heaven is good and wonderful and all, the whole streets of gold thing; but if we are honest, it is just hard to imagine Heaven being all that is promised if found out that something wasn’t there. Could Heaven be missing something? What makes Heaven, Heaven? I can say the answer, already have said the answer in this series; and you know the answer and believe it, understand it, but . . . It is God that makes Heaven, Heaven.
Seeng Hell?
October 2, 2022 • Dr. Randall T. Hahn
a disturbing concept in Christianity is the prospect that one day vast numbers of people will go to hell. Some of them we know and love; because we all have people we know and love that will not come to Christ. It is such a disturbing idea it’s just easier to ignore or only refer to in the vaguest of terms. The great majority of Christians can go to church for years and never hear about hell. It is just easier to not talk about, but is that helpful? As we see what God has said about hell; let’s keep in mind that our comfort and understanding is not the standard by which this is measured. Let’s keep in mind we do not have a greater idea of love or what is fair than God. Our love and fairness are so far from God’s that it is closer to wrong. We have never come close to loving someone like God does.
Citizens Only
September 25, 2022 • Dr. Randall T. Hahn
We are a physical people in a physical world, and we were made that way by God. And it is in these physical, concrete images of the world that heaven is described to us in Revelation 21. Don’t dismiss these descriptions as having some indefinable, mystical idea. Hear it for what it is. Let’s read Revelation 21.
Why Is It So Important to Study Heaven and Hell
September 18, 2022 • Dr. Randall T. Hahn
Why is it so important to study Heaven and Hell when it costs $50, $60 dollars or more to fill my gas tank, when we just learned that our kids are on average 1-2 years behind in their education due to Covid, when we have such a polarized nation, when home is becoming more frustrating, when . . . and where does the list stop of more pressing needs than day dreaming about a Heaven or Hell? What if I were to suggest that clarity and conviction about Heaven and Hell may be the focus we need to navigate our current personal and cultural issues?
