So What?
God is Much Closer than We Usually Know
Heavenly Father
Not Far From Any One
We are Linked to Heaven

On Earth as in Heaven
| Take it Home! If someone asked you to describe heaven what would you say?Would you give a different answer now that you would have a while ago? How so?When do you sense God’s closeness the most?What difference does it make to be a ‘citizen of Heaven’?Take It Home – Take this home and use these questions to think about the ideas shared today. It is even better if you can use these questions in a conversation with someone else. |
