Whether you’re the teacher or a student— Start early in the week before your class meets. Overview the study. Review the table of contents and read the study introduction. Try to see how each lesson relates to the overall study. Use your Bible to read and consider prayerfully the Scripture passages for the lesson. (You’ll see that each writer has c...
Place Called Heaven We naturally only see what we can see with our physical eyes. It is dificult for us to grasp that God has created a place called Heaven. It is a challenge to get our heads around the truth that Heaven transcends both time and space. Further, we naturally only see what is physical as well as what is pres-ent. Heaven is dificult t...
Heaven is the ultimate destination for every person who has ever trusted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. If that is true for you, you are relocating there one day to spend all of eter-nity—so don’t you think it is worthwhile to see what the Bible has to say about Heaven and its heavenly hosts? God’s Word contains more information about Heaven than...
MAIN IDEA The history of Heaven is intertwined with the history of God. And God lives above the timeline of human history. He has always existed, so the same can be said of Heaven. QUESTION TO EXPLORE What does Heaven’s creation and history teach us about our future home? STUDY AIM To understand the timeless nature of Heaven as our eternal home QUI...
The history of Heaven is intertwined with the history of God. And God lives above the timeline of human history. He has always existed, so the same can be said of Heaven. Let us imagine you are planning an expensive two-week vacation to Costa Rica. The easiest thing to do is to use a travel agent and let them plan the trip for you. But most of us w...
As a child, I knew a little about Heaven because my family always attended church where we sang wonderful songs like “When We All Get to Heaven.” As I grew older and many of my loved ones who knew the Lord died and went to Heaven, I longed to know even more about this destination. It was as if they had departed on a journey to a mysterious and far-...
MAIN IDEA You must exercise your faith if you want to go to Heaven. QUESTION TO EXPLORE How does my faith function as the key to experiencing Heav-en after I die? STUDY AIM To understand Heaven as a place that requires us to believe in its existence, sight unseen QUICK READ Just like any other foreign city on Earth, in Heaven there is only one curr...
When you visit a foreign country, you want to know what currency they use, and you need to exchange your currency if you are going to make purchases and perform daily activi-ties necessary for living in that country. For example, when I travel to the Philippines, I convert U.S. dollars to Filipino pesos. When I travel to France, I exchange dollars ...
Now faith is the certainty of things hoped for, a proof of things not seen. For by it the people of old gained approv-al. By faith we understand that the world has been created by the word of God so that what is seen has not been made out of things that are visible. By faith Abel ofered to God a bet-ter sacrifice than Cain, through which he was att...
Write your definition of faith in your own words. Think on what you learned during a specific time in the past when you demonstrated great faith and trust in God in your walk with Him. Talk with another believer this week about what it means to “pray in faith.” Describe your current level of faith regarding God’s will and His plans for you.
Placing your faith in Jesus pleases God to an infinite degree, and that is exactly what the Bible teaches us. It is not a guess-ing game to figure out how to please God in this life. It is no mystery. God has plainly told us that our demonstration of trust and faith in His Son Jesus is what puts a smile on our Heavenly Father’s face. In fact, the B...
MAIN IDEA We cannot pay our way to Heaven because the price has al-ready been paid. It is free to us, but only because Jesus paid it all at the cost of His life. QUESTION TO EXPLORE Is it necessary or even possible to earn one’s way into Heaven? STUDY AIM To combat the common misconception that it is possible to earn one’s way into Heaven by good b...
What is your favorite Heaven joke? I have heard them all. Most of the myths and jokes about Heaven are not based on the truth of the Bible and can be misleading. For instance, there is nothing in the Bible that teaches St. Peter is going to meet people at the Pearly Gates and admit them into Heav-en. Peter cannot get you into Heaven—only Jesus can—...
When my two daughters were young, we tried to plan some memorable vacations as a family. Because I was on a pastor’s salary, we did not have a lot of extra money. One year we de-cided on a Caribbean cruise. We started saving money every month and put it in a “cruise fund.” After saving carefully for about a year, we were ready to go. It was a trip ...
That is why Peter pointed out in this passage that silver and gold are perishable—in other words, that type of currency (as valuable as it is on Earth) does not work in Heaven. Jesus has paid the full price in His blood. All you have to do is to say, “Yes” in faith to Jesus and your eternity in Heaven with Him is secure. If you do not think blood i...
World religions teach a works-based philosophy. For ex-ample, the second-largest religion in the world is Islam. Followers of Islam hope to earn a place in Heaven based upon their goodness. They believe Allah may reward them with “Paradise,” if they faithfully follow the five pillars of Islam and perform more good deeds than bad. The Ko-ran teaches...
What Peter emphasizes in this passage is the visible (silver and gold) versus the invisible (the spiritual transaction that took place to purchase your place in Heaven). Money cannot buy you love or a place in Heaven! Think about it this way. What part of “you” goes to Heaven? You have a visible, out-ward presence that is getting older every day as...
Name some ways people choose religious perfor-mance over accepting God’s free gift of eternal life. Based on what you have learned in this lesson, prac-tice explaining to a non-believer why you cannot earn your way to Heaven.

MAIN IDEA Heaven will not be boring—it will be the best, most amazing experience of our lives. QUESTION TO EXPLORE What will I do for eternity in Heaven? STUDY AIM To explain what the Bible says will occupy our time once we are living in Heaven QUICK READ Yes, we will worship the King of Kings in Heaven. But that is not all.
Heaven will not be boring—it will be the best, most amazing experience of our lives. We will be exploring this beautiful place forever, filling our days with Heavenly activities and adventures that we can only dream of on this earth. And yet there are skeptics. What will we do all day? Will we have any fun at all? Will it be like being at church al...
The apostle John was so overwhelmed by the beauty of the Holy City that he struggled to find a way to describe it. So, he used a metaphor of a beautiful bride approaching her groom. I have performed hundreds of weddings, and I have never seen an ugly bride. Brides work for hours getting their hair, makeup, and dress just right. That is how John des...
Make a list of the famous people of faith in the Bible you look forward to meeting in Heaven. Based on what you are learning about Heaven, write an “activity guide” for the perfect day in Heaven. What will you do? Who will you see? Many people believe Heaven will involve endless strumming harps all day, sitting on clouds. Counter that image with wh...
I have heard many people smugly say they would rather be in hell with all their friends than “sit around” being bored in Heaven. As if the God who created life, work, love, and rela-tionships for the purpose of joy and happiness in the first place has no clue! Heaven will be far from dull—it will be the time of your life for eternity.
MAIN IDEA The Bible explains that in Heaven we will be engulfed in a beautiful symphony of praise directed at the King of Kings. QUESTION TO EXPLORE How will worship be diferent in Heaven, compared to the way we worship on Earth? STUDY AIM To understand worship as a central component of Heaven QUICK READ The most amazing praise and worship will com...
The Apostle John wrote in Revelation about a specific scene of worship that we will experience ourselves one day in Heav-en. His vision of what Heaven will be like when it is filled to the brim with worshipers praising Jesus was so spectacular and vivid that it is dificult to put into words. The Bible ex-plains that in Heaven we will be engulfed in...
I have been preaching for around 50 years, and there has never been a Sunday morning when I woke up and said, “Oh no, it’s Sunday again.” I love Sundays! I sing in my car on the way to church every Sunday. But I realize that most people cannot take too much church. From my perspective on stage watching a service conclude, it seems like the most enj...
