Episode Synopsis

What advice would you give a nearsighted baseball player?That seems like the start of a good joke, but I don’t have a punchline. Write one for me and email me back.The truth is if you cannot see the ball you cannot hit it, you cannot catch it, you could not even throw it accurately. You would not be much of a baseball player.Nearsighted Christians have the same struggle. If we can’t vividly imagine heaven coming to earth or learn to perceive the heavenly reality we are already connected with today, we will swing and miss, drop the ball all over the place, and miss the mark on our critical throws.This Sunday we begin our sermon series, “Heaven with Us,” and like the right lens prescription it is meant to clarify and bring into focus what we need to see the most.When you think about Heaven what do you think?Does your view of heaven clarify your future and give you rock solid hope?Does your view of heaven give you passion for life now and give creative direction on how to live today?It can.Let us fight to overcome our nearsightedness by looking deeply into God’s description of heaven.Pastor David
