Resources by Topic: Heaven

Randy spoke at Shepherd’s House Bible Church about Heaven. He shares what we know about the present Heaven and the New Earth from Scripture, and reminds listeners of the real hope God’s children have for our future home. 

While Randy believes that it is quite possible that God allows believers in Heaven to see us at least sometimes, and for sure they have a front-row seat to what God is doing on Earth, it is helpful to remember that Scripture’s focus is on how God sees our lives, and ultimately, we want to please Him. 

The central fact is that the resurrection will happen, and we will live forever with Jesus on the New Earth. That’s good news and should unite us all in our theology!  

 In this clip from his Q&A at The Fold (the college/youth ministry of Shepherd’s House Bible Church), Randy Alcorn gives advice to those who are on the fence about following Jesus.

 In this clip from his Q&A at The Fold (the college/youth ministry of Shepherd’s House Bible Church), Randy Alcorn shares how we can obey the command of Colossians 3:2 to “Set your minds on things above, not earthly things.” 

 In this clip from his Q&A at The Fold (the college/youth ministry of Shepherd’s House Bible Church), Randy Alcorn discusses how on the New Earth, there will no longer be any barriers between God and His people.  

In this clip from his Q&A at The Fold (the college/youth ministry of Shepherd’s House Bible Church), Randy Alcorn shares why an eternal perspective helps us embrace the reality of loss and grief, but also face death with hope and trust in Jesus.  

In this clip from his Q&A at The Fold (the college/youth ministry of Shepherd’s House Bible Church), Randy Alcorn reminds us that if we keep the proper focus of Heaven in mind—which is being with Jesus, the Source of all goodness—then it’s good and right to look forward to reunion with those we love.  

God bless you as you continue to seek what lasts, and I pray that when you present your musical gift before the Throne that you will hear “Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into your Master’s happiness.”

There is no timetable or expiration date on grief, and there is no right or wrong answer about remarriage. It sounds like you have a relationship with the Lord, and He can be trusted to guide you every step of the way. 

Does thinking about Heaven fill you with joy and excitement? How much thought do you give to Heaven? We’re told how to get to Heaven, and that it’s a better destination than Hell, but unfortunately, we’re taught remarkably little about Heaven itself. 

Uniqueness and differences existed before sin and will exist after it. Only God has infinite wisdom and knowledge.

 Randy Alcorn speaks to a Bible class of middle school students at Good Shepherd School in Boring, Oregon on the subject of Heaven. 

The Bible tells us that although others may not remember us or care what our lives here have been, God will remember perfectly, and He cares very much—so much that the door of eternity swings on the hinges of our present lives.
