Imagine

  | 
In this message the question is asked, "What can we know about the present heaven?"  We explore areas such as whether the present heaven is eternal, what conditions exist for those who are currently in heaven, if the residents of heaven are aware of what's going on here on earth and if they are praying for us.

On Earth as it is in Heaven

The Lord's Prayer teaches us to pray that God's kingdom would come and that his will would be done on earth, just like it is in heaven.  The church's purpose mirrors Jesus' purpose.  We can learn from his prayer model and ministry model how to maximize our efforts for eternal significance.

How does a person cope when life isn't fair?  From the teachings of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 4 we learn the importance of focusing on heaven.  What kind of bodies will we have?  What age will we be in heaven?  Will there be children in heaven?
