Your Best Life…Can’t Be Now

“There is no way God is going to allow your life to be perfect here. It can’t be. You’re not home yet.” – David Whiting

Have you ever wondered what Heaven will be like?

Do we really sit on clouds? Do we sing all the time and play harps? Let’s see what the Bible says about this wonderful place.

Main Text: Revelation 21: 2-4

“And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, 4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”
