Next Sunday: A New Heaven and a New Earth:
                                   The Way It Was Meant to Be

The Bible promises a future beyond our wildest imagination -“No eye has seen, no ear has heard…” Heaven is not a dream or distant cloud, but the restoration of all God intended – a real, righteous, relational, and rewarding home in His presence. In the new heaven and new earth, every wrong will be made right, every tear wiped away, and every longing fulfilled. God Himself will dwell with His people, and love, joy, and beauty will reign forever – the world as it was always meant to be.

Rev. 21:1-14; 1 Cor. 2:9; Matt. 7:11; John 14:2-3; Rom. 8:19-21;
2 Pet. 3:10,13; Rev. 21:4; Isa. 65:17,23-25; Rev. 21:27; 1 Cor. 15:51-52; 1 John 3:2; Psalm 73:13; Rev. 22:12; 1 Cor. 13:12; Rev. 21:3;
1 Pet. 1:3-5; Psalm 16:6; Rev. 22:17
