"If you could have heaven, with no sickness, and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties you ever say, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict or any natural disasters, could you be satisfied with heaven, if Christ was not there?" John Piper

First things first, there was a problem with the sound system this week and we apologize for the poor audio quality. We pray that you can listen and not be distracted. Pastor Mike finishes up his series on Heaven with a good description of "Work and Rest" that is rewarded in Heaven. This is also his last sermon prior to his sabbatical season and he encourages all those that call Center Point their church home to be faithful and committed to their church. This commitment requires understanding the heavenly perspective of work and rest. Listen in and learn more about the seasons of Work and Rest and how important it is to hear the Holy Spirit inspire us during these seasons.

Pastor Mike finishes the two-part discussion on the way God will judge every person perfectly. God sees the heart of every person and He has the means to judge the intent and motivation of our actions. He is clear in His Word that we will be rewarded on our works. So it makes great sense that we would be diligent and careful in how we do what we do in order that our works stand the fire of God's BEMA seat. LIsten in and be encouraged and challenged in the why's of what we do...

We are continuing our discussion on Heaven today focusing on God's perfect system of Rewards. This is a topic that many people have concerns over, the fact that people in Heaven will have various levels of rewards and responsibilities different from each other. God gives us clear instructions in His Word that details He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him and follow His commands. The enemy would have us think differently. The choice is always up to us, are we going to believe the Word of God or the lies of the enemy? Listen in if you're interested in learning more about God's perfect reward system...

Heaven is a topic that is worth much discussion yet quite possibly it may be one of the least topics spoken about. Why is that? Maybe we are too overwhelmed with how to describe it or that we don't think the Bible tells us very much about it. Can I tell you that I believe Heaven is one of the most fun and exciting topics to talk about? The life that God has planned for His children is amazing and He's very excited about sharing it with us. I pray that this message will bring comfort and a level of earthly relevance as we study and yearn for Heaven...

Imagine Heaven..It Is Easy If You Try
WE EXIST TO SEE PEOPLE REDEEMED, RENEWED, AND RESTORED THROUGH THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST.
It is hard for us to fathom how special it is to see our God, our Creator, our Savior. Oh, I think we want to and look forward to seeing Him; and yet even then I am not sure we can imagine how special, how awesome, how utterly fulfilling it will be.
We have had a lot fun this summer looking at heaven: what it will be like, what we will do there, how we get in, why we need it; and I have tried to focus on the things that have maybe been kind of a blank for us, and since that has been my focus, there has been something, or shall I say, someone I have not focused on: God! Hey folks, God is the great prize. Without God, Heaven is Hell. There is no joy, no pleasure, no significance apart from Him.
What I hope last week and this week help us to see is that heaven is not boring. Heaven is not a place where we just float around in some eternal bliss. We will live in a purposeful, meaningful and productive way; because that’s what God always intended.
I have great news for you this morning: the best parts of this world are a taste of heaven. If you don’t get anything else from today, maybe just take that line with you. I think one of the reasons we struggle with understanding heaven and what it is like is because we divorce it from reality.
A couple of quick of observations from 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18: 1. God wants us to have an understanding of what is going on in death. 2. It is okay to grieve; and God provides a way we can do that with hope. 3. God knows what is happening next. He has a plan. We could spend time understanding these verses more, but suffice for today, God has a plan and knows where He’s going. Death creates an unknown for us. What we need in that moment is to remember that this moment is not an unknown for God. He knows exactly what is going on, exactly what comes next, and He cares about you.
This might sound strange, but I kind of struggled with adding this message to the series today. I think there is so much to understand about heaven, so many questions you would like to hear addressed and I have limited time; so why take a whole message to talk about membership in heaven, especially in a group where I would assume so many are already members.
I think mentally we believe in a heaven and we believe it is better than here. Perhaps we know the Bible on teaches heaven is a place where there is not death and disease. There are no bad days. There is reward and good. Heaven is where we see God. But that does that belief translate into real life excitement, desire, hope?
