Anticipating Heaven: Heaven and Beyond!

Heaven is a glorious paradise where we dwell in the presence of God, but that is not the final goal in God's plan of redemption. The final goal is a New Heavens and a New Earth where we dwell in glorified resurrected bodies! All human aspirations and dreams are wonderfully fulfilled... it's what we are hard wired for and it is forever!!

Sermon discussion topics for parents to use with their children:

• What happens to a Christian immediately after they die?
• What is the New Heavens and New Earth?
• How is this related to the present Earth?
• What will it be like?
• What are the implications for the fact that the reign of sin will be over?
• How should all of this affect Christians right now?
