Message Study Guides
If you would like to go deeper on this past Sunday's message, our Growth Group ministry has put together study guides that will give you thoughtful questions and study resources. They are designed to be used in discussions with others in a growth group. Not in a growth group? You can still use the guide, but we believe at Mariners that your best growth as a Christ-follower happens best in deep community with others. Visit the Growing with Others page for more information and to download the guide for the current and/or past messages.
Questions about Heaven
We
received a bunch (like a WHOLE bunch) of questions about Heaven and eternity.
Because of the number of questions, we had to group some of them together in
topics.
As
you read through these, remember what we talked about at our weekend service.
When you ask, "Where is Heaven?", the answer is: "Which one?"
The
Bible is pretty clear that there is a 'heaven' that believers go to when they
end this run here on earth. It's a temporary place in the presence of God (so
it's 'paradise' as Jesus promised). But the Bible is also clear that there will
be a 'new Heaven and a new Earth' (Revelation 21) which will be our eternal
place. So when we answer these questions, we will do our best to make a
distinction between the present, temporary place, and the 'New Earth' which is
also referred to as Heaven. I hope this doesn't confuse you.
A
couple of our pastors answered these-we did have some fun with them. But the
place God has reserved for us is incredible, and we look forward to that time,
beyond time, when we are with Him. Here is the PDF to download.
