What's Heaven Really Like?

What happens when we die? Will I be scared? Will Jesus truly come take me into heaven? Will I see a blinding light? What will heaven be like assuming I make it there? Will I look like I do now just glorified? What does that mean? Will there be age differences? Will I really not be married? What about those harps and clouds? Will I be singing worship songs the WHOLE time? What is heaven really like?

This past week, I thought I had finished a series on Stephen in Acts 7. However, my wife pointed out that I did not reach the conclusion of the story starting in verse 54. This account is one of the only actual glimpses of heaven that the Scriptures reveal to us. As a result, I decided to preach on Acts 7 and to truly finish the story of Stephen.

However, as I began to study I realized that the Lord was directing me to not preach about Stephen but rather about what Stephen saw. Luke records a real glimpse into heaven. Upon further prayer and meditation and reflection upon God's Word I realized that I don't know that much about heaven. It is true that I could talk about it and what may or may not be happening there--but do I have a true full biblical view of the promises of heaven.

Therefore, the Lord has led me to begin a series on heaven this week. I will take the series through December 16th. It will begin with a study on Stephen's picture of heaven. I can't wait to begin this series on Sunday. I am planning to involve the whole congregation on this journey. Come along with me as we see what God has in store for us.
