We’re living in a post-Christian culture that believes future peace can be achieved by scientific/technological advancement or social/political action. How might a biblical view of heaven breathe life into this cultural impulse for peace and renewal?

In this episode I share the final sermon in the “sermons for a post-Christian culture” series, focusing on a biblical view of heaven that will transform not just our hope for the future, but also our attitude and behaviors in the present.

Revelation 21:1-5 ESV:

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
