Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ

Let Not Your Heart be Troubled: Keeping Our Eyes on Heaven

Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,  1 Corinthians 15:1-4

1. Our perfected relationship in heaven: John 14:2, John 20:16-17

2. Our perfected dwelling in heaven: John 14:2, Revelation 21:1-4, Psalm 23:6

3. Our perfected fellowship in heaven: John 14:3, Psalm 16:11, Psalm 17:18

4. The Application: Living in and for heaven now

a. We pursue deeper fellowship: Philippians 3:10

b. We hunger for more conformity: 2 Corinthians 6:16-7:1

c. We labor more earnestly: Romans 10:1, Philippians 1:3-5
