Summary
Using Hebrews 4 and supporting passages, the sermon describes heaven as characterized by four elements: rest from earthly struggles, relationships with loved ones, renewal of creation, and meaningful work and ruling. Heaven is both a present reality for deceased believers and a future renewed earth where resurrected bodies experience restored creation without sin.
Highlights
The emphasis in the present heaven is on the absence of earth's negatives while in the future heaven it is the presence of earth's positives magnified many times through the power and glory of resurrected bodies on a resurrected earth.
What we do here matters there. Your day to day matters. Your life today, it counts. There are rewards in heaven based on how you've lived your life.
God will take this old earth and make it new. God will take this dead earth and resurrect it back to where it's supposed to be.
