0276 The Pie in the Sky

The Pie in the Sky

Gospel forgives the past (Those who are in Christ are new creature) Gospel helps with present (God is present help in time of need) Gospel secures the future (I know plans for you to give you hope and future)

Life is short

Life is short from heavens perspective (Ps.90:10) Google Earth: the higher you go the smaller trouble becomes

Life is “they were all born, they all suffered and they all died”

“Good news is you have 24 hours, bad news I was suppose to tell you this yesterday” Life is like race, vapor, or grass (Heb.12:1-2; James 4:14; 1 Pet.1:24) Life is like pilgrimage (Heb.11:13-16)

We are pilgrims on earth with citizenship of heaven (testing is before resting) “Rabbi’s furniture and tourists question”

Life is wilderness where eternal life is promise land

You don’t need to be obsessed with American Dream but with Fathers business

“Don’t go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention”

Happiness is in calling not our career Life is too short to be upset or rooted deeply in the soil of this earth

“Sorry, we did our best with the materials you sent us”

Heaven is great Don’t be so heavenly minded that you are no earthly good?

God commands us to be heavenly minded (Phil.3:19; Col.3:2; Mt.21:34) Cares of this life choke the word (Mt.13:22)

Being heavenly minded brings hope not apathy being earthly minded brings worry and fear

Heaven is our blessed hope (Titus 2:13) “Let your heart not be troubled…” John 14:1-3 Persecuted, rejoice and be exceedingly glad because of reward in heaven (Mt.5:12) Do not rejoice of present but of future hope (Luke 10:20) God is alpha (genesis) and omega (revelation)

Heaven is a literal place not a state of mind Heaven and earth recreated; no sun; no night; no curse; no death; paradise; no pain

God will finish what He started

Description of Heaven (Blind girl accusing her mom) New Jerusalem (780,000 stories high)

Foundation of the City (12 layers of different jewel; 2 ¼ million square miles) Wall of the City (jasper) Gates of the City (guarded by an angel with every gate a different pearl) Streets of the City (pure gold)

Water – fresh water and no oceans Trees – tree of life, bears 12 fruits, leaves for healing

Animals – chariots of fire, enough of white horses for all the army of heaven

No temple – no religion nor church buildings

Nothing unclean shall enter there – no flesh, devil or world to tempt us Heaven is full of joy and presence of God

We will have new bodies (powerful, imperishable, glorious, beautiful, and recognizable) We will have mansions We will meet great people We will eat great food We will worship God

We will reign

Three levels of life: womb, earth, and heaven

The ultimate proof of heaven is the Holy Spirit – our deposit You can go to heaven without many things but never without Jesus

Pastor and lawyer; we get them only few

Three man: one excising, another cheating another dies

My wife is riding a skaboard because she cheated

My wife told me to stand here “line where husbands dominated their woman”

Pearly Gates are gone because of New Yorkers

Go to room 24, 11, 15, and be quiet as you pass room 8 because Baptists are there

God made him 1,000,000 times better. He made him a woman
