Beginning May 9th, we will have our โ€œChange for Lifeโ€ Baby 

Bottle Campaign. The campaign will end on Fatherโ€™s Day, June 20th. Through Godโ€™s power, our church can help save more babies. If you are not familiar with the bottle campaign, the way it works is to take a bottle home and fill it with change, cash, or checks. After Fatherโ€™s Day, the bottles will be returned to Birth Choice. They will count the money and let us know how much our church raised. Online giving is also an option and they will give us that information when the bottles are picked up.

โ€œFor to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.โ€ Philippians 1:21โ€“24

 

1. What Does Heaven Have to Offer?

โ€œLet not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Fatherโ€™s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.โ€โ€ John 14:1โ€“4

โ€œJews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead. But when the disciples gathered about him, he rose up and entered the city, and on the next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.โ€ Acts 14:19โ€“20

 

โ€œI know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heavenโ€”whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into paradiseโ€”whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knowsโ€” and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter.โ€ 2 Cor. 12:1โ€“4

 

2. Why Did Jesus Tell us About Heaven?

โ€œI saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, โ€œBehold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.โ€โ€ Revelation 21:1โ€“4

      

3. Why Would Jesus Want us Near Him in Heaven?

โ€œ When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.โ€ John 14:3 NLT

 

4. Will I Go Immediately to Heaven?

โ€œโ€ฆwe would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.โ€ 2 Corinthians 5:8 NLT

     

โ€œJesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.โ€ And he said to him, โ€œTruly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.โ€โ€ Luke 23:42โ€“43

 

5. Who will I See in Heaven? 

 

6. How Can I know I will be in Heaven? 

โ€œI am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.โ€ John 14:6

 

โ€œGod gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.โ€ 1 John 5:1
