HEAVEN

HEA EN
PHILIPPIANS 3:20 &
1 CORINTHIANS 2:9
A STORY—TWO GUYS
TWO GUYS PULLED UP IN FRONT
THE DRIVEWAY OF A RICH
OWNER’S MANSION. SITTING IN
THEIR BUGGY, THEY HEARED AN
AUTOMATED VOICE SENSOR
ALERTING THEM TO, “GET OUT OF
THE DRIVEWAY! GET OUT OF THE
DRIVEWAY! GET OUT OF THE
DRIVEWAY!”
THE GUY IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT
TURNS TO THE OTHER GUY AND
SAYS, “WE’RE SURE NOT WELCOMED
HERE!”

WHAT’S THE MESSAGE?

WHILE THIS RICH OWNER OF AN
EARTHLY MANSION IS TRYING TO
KEEP THESE GUYS OUT, JESUS, THE
OWNER OF THE HEAVENLY
MANSION, IS WELCOMING
EVERYONE IN
JOHN 3:12.

WE GET THERE?
1. FIRST, WE MUST MAKE A CHOICE TO FOLLOW
PRINCE IMMANUEL UP HERE—AND NOT TAKE
A CHANCE WITH THE PRINCE OF HELL DOWN
HERE.

2. EACH ONE OF US IS EITHER PREPARED FOR

HEAVEN—OR FOR HELL. THERE ARE TWO
ETERNITIES: BOTH DESTIONATIONS BEGIN
“H”. WHEN YOU WAKE
WITH
UP IN ETERNITY, WHAT
THEN?

STEALING?
