My Hope Is In Heaven

Contributed by James Chandler on Jul 2, 2024

My hope is in Heaven because I have been raised with Jesus

A recent family vacation has me thinking about heaven. I was standing on a beautiful ocean shore that was paradise. It brought to mind the scene in Revelation around the throne, the glassy sea. The colors, the thunder and lightening. Being with family reminded that one day I will be reunited ...read more

Citizens Of Heaven

Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 28, 2015

As we imitate Paul’s behaviour, and as we learn from the faith and life of our Christian brothers and sisters, the result is a community of people who resemble Christ. Jesus showed us what it’s like to be fully human and to be right with God.

We are not citizens of the world. Is that a surprise? Not if you’re a Christian. Paul says in Philippians 3:15-21 that we do not belong to the environment in which we live. We live elsewhere. Our citizenship is in heaven. We need to know which realm we are citizens of, because the answer ...read more

Heaven On Earth

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jun 1, 2024

If we are not identified to be a part of this spiritual Kingdom of God, we cannot enter the physical Kingdom of Heaven when we die. Our self-life is the main enemy of the life of Christ. The Bible calls this ‘flesh’.

Mathew 11:12 “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force”. We notice through the scriptures, there are phrases like Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven. God says everyone doesn’t get into heaven but only the violent ...read more

You CANNOT count on the weatherman’s forecast. And you cannot count on the pastor when he says, “I’ll be just one more minute.” ...read more

Heaven Is A Marriage Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 24, 2013

Marriage is about the union of two hearts, and in Heaven it is the marriage of Christ and His Church. If we do not see ourselves connected/united to Christ in a covenantal relationship, we will fail to grasp the nature of life after death.

In Revelation 21, John the Apostle sees Heaven as “a bride dressed for her husband.” The Apostle Paul in Ephesians 5 compares the union of husband and wife to that of Christ and the church. We are the Bride of Christ. It’s been said, regarding Heaven, the Bible provides the ...read more
