A Real Place Called Heaven Part 2 (broadcast date: 09/21/2025)

Steve Klein -- Do All Roads Lead to Heaven Part 2

From the words of Jesus in Matthew 4:17, “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand,” this message unpacks the reality of God’s rule and reign made present in Christ. Through His sacrifice, resurrection, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, we are invited to live in His Kingdom now—with power, boldness, and peace. From Acts 2 to Acts 4, we see that the Spirit empowers us not only for miracles but also for courage in persecution. Be inspired to live fully surrendered, filled, and refilled, declaring: Your Kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven. For more information go to c3tuggerah.org.au

Revelation 21:1-5 ESV  1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” 5 And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

John 6:41-71

This week we are going to look at the last two pictures of Jesus in chapter two that reveal why His incarnation is so significant. Get ready!

This past weekend, our guest minister, Dr. Billye Brim, taught a powerful message on the subject of the believer's authority. In light of the tragedy of the death of our beloved brother in Christ, Charlie Kirk, she based her message on Ephesians 6:10, speaking about “this present darkness.” She said, “We must put on the whole armor of God to stand against the schemes of the Devil.” In her three-part message (Sat. 5 p.m., Sun. 9 a.m., 11 a.m.), she ministered on taking our authority in Christ to stand against the demonic plots and plans of the enemy. In this epic battle between good and evil, it is imperative that we do so effectively.Our Links–• Join The Prayer Movement!: https://theprayermovement.com• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingwordmn• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/livingwordmn• Stay up to date with all things LWCC at https://www.LWCC.org• Join our Online Church community here: https://www.lwcc.org/onlinechurch• Give online: https://www.lwcc.org/give/• If you recently committed your life to God, we'd like to give you a free eBook to help you in your spiritual journey.

Wednesday Study September 10, 2025

I'm so pleased to announce a brand-new, extensive study on what the Bible teaches about this vital doctrine -- Heaven: Why It Matters Now. It will air on my radio broadcasts in Africa, but I'm also making it available for everyone.We are strictly studying what Scripture teaches; this will not involve alleged visitations to Heaven; it will not involve speculation. Our charter from God is to study what His Word teaches and do our best to interpret His Word accurately. May the Holy Spirit give you great understanding and change and transform you, for the glory of the Father and the Son!

Colossians 3:1-2 ESV  If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

John 6:25-40

A few weeks ago, my wife's parents came to Indy for a quick visit. To my surprise they brought with them a photo album of Bekah when she was a little girl, beginning on the day she was born. As I flipped through the pages, my father-in-law was very careful to not leave out any of the details around each of the events that were pictured. In much the same way, as the author of Hebrews continues to flip through Jesus' photo album, he is going to carefully point out what makes Jesus' incarnation so incredible. 

The secret to living is contentment. Nate finishes the book of Philippians and gives us four practical ways that we can practice contentment. 

John 6:1-27

This fall, we are studying the last book of the Bible - Revelation. We begin this series with Senior Pastor Dr. Tyler Smiley speaking from chapter 5 about John's vision of worship in heaven.

What are some practical things to put into practice in our lives that will bring the peace of God? Nate unpacks Philippians 4:1-9 where Paul gives us 4 things for us to do. As we practice these 4 things: Reconciliation, Rejoicing, Praying, and Right Thinking, we progress toward Christ and recieve his peace.

Ryan Thomas, a missionary to Spain that we support, continues our series in Philippians. He challenges us to live our lives with eternity in focus. "But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:15 ESV 

Home Where I Belong

Discover the transformative power of finding your strength in God through this inspiring exploration of Psalm 84. What happens when life takes you through valleys of tears and seasons of difficulty? According to Scripture, those who draw their strength from the Lord experience three remarkable transformations.First, God gives you His perspective on your circumstances. Without changing your situation, He can transform your experience of it. The psalmist describes how valleys of weeping become springs of refreshment, and annoying early rains turn into pools of blessing. This isn't wishful thinking—it's the reality of seeing your circumstances through God's eyes. Through a personal story about working for a difficult boss, the speaker illustrates how a glimpse of God's purpose transformed his entire outlook despite unchanged external conditions.Second, those who find their strength in God develop remarkable perseverance. The psalm describes going "from strength to strength"—not just surviving difficulties but growing through them. The Hebrew text reveals a beautiful progression from physical stamina (az) to inner character and courage (chayil). When your strength comes from God, you keep moving forward despite obstacles.Finally, your priorities shift. Those who successfully navigate life's valleys make worship non-negotiable. Like David who said, "I will bless the Lord at all times," they understand that worship is where God meets them and imparts strength. Even at the height of worldly success, people like Paul Newman have discovered that fame and fortune cannot provide inner serenity—only connection with God satisfies our deepest longings.The good news? God has made a highway to our hearts through Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again to bring us directly to God. You don't need extraordinary courage to find happiness—you need Jesus. Connect with Him today and discover how He can transform your valleys into springs and your difficulties into opportunities for growth.Video available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3DNLXuOkeQ

Brandon walks us through Philippians 3:1-11 and the sobering reality that we can do nothing to gain our salvation and the awesomeness of Christ and the great exchange. "I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God's way of making us right with himself depends on faith." Philippians 3:9

Feeling drained by life's challenges? The ancient wisdom of Psalm 84 offers a surprising solution that goes beyond self-help techniques or motivational strategies.This powerful exploration of divine strength reveals why our own resources often fall short and how God provides an alternative source of power. Using the vivid analogy of spiritual hydraulics, we discover how God's strength works like a hydraulic jack—allowing us to lift burdens we could never manage on our own.Through the compelling story of King David's darkest moment—having lost everything, exhausted and facing mutiny from his own men—we witness the transformative power of "strengthening himself in the Lord." This wasn't a mere religious platitude but a practical spiritual principle that turned catastrophe into victory.The sermon unpacks the mysterious phrase "highways to Zion" from Psalm 84, revealing it as a divine connection between our hearts and God's presence. This spiritual highway, constructed through Christ's victory over sin and death, becomes the channel through which God's strength flows into our lives. The traffic on this highway? Our heartfelt praise and worship.We see this principle demonstrated dramatically when Paul and Silas, chained in a dungeon at midnight, begin singing hymns of praise—creating the perfect conditions for God's earthquake-power to manifest. Their chains fell off not through their own strength but through connecting with divine power through worship.Ready to experience strength beyond your own resources? This message provides practical insights for tapping into God's power through intentional, heart-engaged worship. Discover why "the joy of the Lord is your strength" isn't just a nice sentiment but a spiritual reality that can transform your most impossible situations.Video available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuiajLC4FuY

Will we laugh or work in heaven?

Nate continues in Philippians and asks us who are we doing life with? Who are the few we can count on when we go through hard things? And he challenges us by asking, are you that friend for someone else? Citizens of Heaven are those type of friends. 

Pray, because your prayers one day will make Heaven go completely silent.

"Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people." Philippians 2:14-15Justin Farley encourages us to be citizens of heaven, to be bright lights in this world. He challenges us to examine our lives to see if we are living clean, innocent lives and if we are different than this world.

Heaven is his home, but it cannot contain Him. He fills the universe.

This morning we continue in our serries on Heaven

We are challenged by Philippians 2:3-5. "Don't be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. Don't look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had."Nate digs into how we live this out and challenges us truly look at ourselves in the mirror, are we truly living with the "same attitude that Christ Jesus had." This what it means to be a citizen of Heaven.

“Heaven is God's Home. He has invited us to come live with Him.” 

At the perfect time, God sent Jesus into the world. Jesus brought with Him the Kingdom of Heaven and He left it here while encouraging us to pursue, receive, proclaim, demonstrate and pray it. The Kingdom of Heaven is within us and we are here as carriers and dispensers of the robust domain of heaven, sharing it throughout the whole world before the end comes.

"Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourself in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come to see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News." Philippians 1:27Nate breaks apart this verse and challenges us to examine our lives, to reflect on are we truly living as citizens of heaven?
