Heaven: Series & Seminar
Exploring Heaven: Series Recap + Live Q&A Seminar
For several weeks this year, we explored what heaven really means—its beauty, its promise, and how it changes the way we live today. Through Pastor Ryan’s Heaven series and our special Heaven Seminar & Q&A, we discovered together that heaven isn’t just our future hope—it’s a truth that shapes how we live right now.
🕊️ Heaven Series Highlights
- Heaven and the New Earth: A biblical picture of restoration, not escape—of a renewed creation where God dwells with His people.
- Living with Eternal Perspective: How the hope of heaven impacts our daily life, faith, and mission.
- Jesus, the Way to Heaven: The centrality of Christ’s resurrection and promises in shaping our eternal hope.
- What Happens After Death: The Bible’s teaching on resurrection, judgment, and everlasting life with God.
🎤 What the Heaven Seminar Covered
At the live seminar, Pastor Ryan responded to real questions from our church community, such as:
- Will we recognize our loved ones in heaven?
- What about people who haven’t heard the Gospel?
- Will heaven be physical or spiritual?
- Is there a difference between “heaven” and the “new earth”?
He also clarified common misconceptions and grounded the answers in Scripture—drawing from passages like Revelation 21, 1 Corinthians 15, and more. The tone was both biblical and pastoral, offering encouragement and hope for the future God has promised us.
