      God’s Promises About Heaven

      Tim Lucas | June 30, 2019

      The Bible says that God has set eternity in the hearts of men and women, meaning that the earth is not all there is. He has promised us a home in heaven, but what will heaven be like? And how do we get there? In this message, Pastor Tim Lucas will talk about the five promises God has made about heaven.

      Message Action Plan

      Message Action Plan

      1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going." 5Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" 6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:1-6 (NIV)

      FIVE PROMISES GOD MAKES ABOUT HEAVEN

      1. HEAVEN IS A PHYSICAL PLACE.

      "My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?" John 14:2 (NIV)

      . . . to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8 (KJV)

      2. HEAVEN IS BEING PREPARED BY CHRIST FOR YOU.

      "My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?" John 14:2 (NIV)

      "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him."      1 Corinthians 2:9 (NLT)

      3. HEAVEN IS PROMISED TO GOD'S CHILDREN.

      "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." John 14:3 (NIV)

      See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! 1 John 3:1 (NIV)

      Action Plan: Do you talk with others about heaven? Talk with somebody this week, (a friend, parent, children) about the reality and hope of heaven.

      4. JESUS IS THE PATHWAY TO HEAVEN.

      Jesus answered,"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."John 14:6 (NIV)

      5. YOU ARE PERSONALLY INVITED TO HEAVEN.

      Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this . . .?" John 11:25-26 (NLT)

      Here I am!  I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they
      with me. 
      Revelation 3:20 (NIV)

      Action Plan:
      Your Next Steps

      Have you invited Jesus Christ to be your personal
      Lord and Savior?

      If you want your sins forgiven and a home in heaven,
      trust Him today!
