Clarity, Understanding, Progress, Movement. Not often are those the words that come to mind when thinking of the book of Revelation. So often, John's words are connected solely with the end of our world. But is that all there is? As we start this new year, let's turn our attention to John's intention - encouragement and challenge to focus on Jesus and live out His commands.
Every person has the sense that there is something more to this life, something beyond the here and now. As Jesus followers, what if we saw our eternity with Him as something that has already begun? A life that starts when we believe in His mercy and receive His grace?
This week in CF Online, Pastor Steve Madsen begins to answer three questions about Heaven for the final week of this series. If you have not had a chance to watch his message, we highly encourage you to do so, as it will help provide context moving forward. You can watch it HERE.
