We spent a whole summer on Heaven. I am sure some of you wish we spent less time on heavenly realities and more time helping with earthly troubles. Surprisingly, the study of Heaven is a great help on earth. Join me as we learn the practical ways God changed us through this study.

For the last few weeks, we took a survey. I wanted to know the real-life questions people have about heaven. The most frequently asked questions were about those who can't believe. What happens to them? What happens to people who lived in a foreign land so they never heard of Jesus? What happens to those who die in infancy and were never old enough to believe. Join Dr. Trucksess in discovering the answer to the questions many are asking.

As a Christian, our sins are completely forgiven by Christ. The Bible tells us we will not pass into judgment or be condemned. Does this mean it doesn't matter how we live? Will our sins return to haunt us? An ignored topic of the Bible is the doctrine of Eternal Rewards. God promises to reward us for how we live and we can lose reward for the willful sins we commit. Believe it or not, there is a way to insure we can have greater joy in heaven.
