Heaven
by Pastor Brent Nordan | February 21, 2012
Heaven.
Paul got a glimpse of it and wrote these words: “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” ~ Romans 8:38-39.
77% of Americans believe in heaven. 76% believe they can get there, but I’m here to tell ya, ya gotta have a reservation!!
1) It’s a place – a real place
2) It’s a spacious place – God’s place is BIG
3) It’s a special place
4) It’s a spiritual place – Jesus ascended into heaven, and he’s coming back!
In heaven, God “will wipe every tear from [your] eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” ~ Rev 21: 4.
When the Roll is Called up Yonder I’ll be There
When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there.
On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the glory of His resurrection share;
When His chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,
Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care;
Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
This world is not my home, and I’m homesick!
