Ep 76 But What is Heaven? - Exploring the Real Vivid Depictions of Heaven Throughout the Bible

Real Bible Stories - A Bible Study Podcast

Discover how heaven is woven into the very fabric of our faith and what awaits us beyond this earthly life. My wife Selena and I, along with Pastor David Squyres, invite you to a heartfelt discussion that traverses the landscapes of time and eternity. We journey through the cultural and historical contexts of biblical figures and stories, offering a perspective that could reshape your understanding of the scriptures.
This episode is a profound contemplation of eschatology, where we dissect the mysteries surrounding the afterlife and heaven's role within Christian doctrine. Pastor Squyres lends his theological expertise as we discuss five diverse viewpoints on what happens after death, and how a genuine grasp of heaven can shift our earthly priorities. We'll also provide comfort by addressing common fears and misconceptions about death and the afterlife, highlighting the hope and love that a correct understanding of heaven can bring.
Finally, we paint a vivid picture of heaven through a biblical lense—depicting it as a grand city, a joyous banquet, a majestic throne room, and an intimately prepared home. We delve into the promise of eternal life and how Jesus's assurances offer us a steadfast hope for what lies beyond.
Join us as we reflect on the certainty of a heavenly dwelling place prepared by Christ himself, and don't forget to tune in next week as we continue down the rabbit hole.
