Things You will Never do in Heaven

  An Afterlife Article Series   Introduction Since the beginning of this year (2022), we’ve been looking at a variety of subjects that has to do with the afterlife. We looked at “ Bound for Eternity ” in which we show that there is an afterlife and what takes place on the way. We also looked at the Judgment Day and what you won’t find there. In this series of articles, we’ll look at Heaven, itself, and the things that you won’t do anymore.   I’m Not Comfortable with this Title This series of articles is from a sermon I originally preached in 2012. One of the reasons I turn sermons into articles is to expand each point and go into more depth as an independent subject. When I set up for preaching the lesson, I hooked up my laptop to the church’s projector so everyone can see my PowerPoint program as I usually will put scripture up on the screen to point out specific verses.

If You Were to Die Tonight…

(from 2004) Introduction         This is a question that most people would rather ignore that to answer: If you were to die tonight, where would you go? Some might instantly say, “Heaven” while others might flippantly, or even proudly say, “Hell”. But what if I told you that, according to scripture, you would not go to neither place when you die? When You Die…         Contrary to what most religious people will tell you, Heaven or Hell is not the next stop after you pass from this mortal realm. They are the places of eternity as stated by Jesus in Mt. 25:46, “And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Eternity is your “final reward” but there is a location that every soul will venture into after leaving here. It’s what I’ve referred to as the Giant Waiting Room. Welcome to Hades         If you’...
