Resources by Topic: Heaven

Years ago, I enjoyed teaching an in-depth, 12-hour course on Heaven and the New Earth at Corban University. We had it filmed with the goal of providing a course that people can use for personal study, or in groups.

We know that in Christ we have an inheritance that “can never perish, spoil, or fade” (1 Peter 1:4). That is truly our greatest family heirloom! 

I think the angels’ roles on the New Earth, where there is no danger, shift from protection to guidance. The fact that they have served us on Earth will make meeting them in Heaven particularly fascinating.

Heaven 2.0, or the New Earth, is different from the original Garden in some very important ways. Adam and Eve were innocents who, when given a choice, chose their own path with the help of the sneaky snake.

This is the Eternity 101 DVD class, which was filmed during Randy's Heaven course taught at Corban University in Spring of 2012. His goal in teaching this is to help you gain a better understanding and biblical perspective of our eternal dwelling place. Click the links below to view all 12 sessions.

Perhaps those who love children but never had any of their own on the old earth will have the privilege of helping raise children on the New Earth. We do know that what God has for us in eternity will be wonderful beyond comprehension!

Countless Christians in Bible-believing churches have been held in bondage for many years by false and widespread views of Heaven and eternity. Despite the clear teaching of Scripture, the pushback against the New Earth used to be very strong.

Randy visited Tyndale House to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his book Heaven. While there, he was interviewed by his friend Carol Traver at a staff gathering. In this clip he answers a question about the responses to this book. 

On the Equipping You in Grace show, Dave Jenkins talks with Randy Alcorn about how living in light of the truth of Heaven can help those grieving now and about finding your God-given identity after a loss. They also talk about Randy’s booklet Grieving with Hope: Walking with Jesus in Heartbreak.

Our life in God's presence will be fullness of joy. Upon our deaths, we’ll be face to face with goodness Himself, and we’ll be able to ask Jesus our questions directly. And for now, we can rest in His character: His goodness, mercy, kindness, and abundant grace. 

Randy visited Tyndale House to celebrate the 20^th anniversary of his book Heaven. While there, he was interviewed by his friend Carol Traver at a staff gathering. They talk about his writing and the impact of the Heaven book, as well as some personal stories from Randy. It is a fun conversation with a lot of laughs.

In a video call, Jordan Raynor hosted a question and answer time with Randy about Heaven, the New Earth, and vocation, as well as several other topics.  

Singer and songwriter Dallas Holm recorded a podcast episode with his daughter on the subject of my book Heaven. He has an unusually acute understanding of the book—his comments about Christoplatonism display an awareness that is not common, but right on target.

Jesus is preparing His disciples for when He ascends, and He is speaking directly to them. But they also are representing Christ’s future church, and therefore all believers.
