Rev. 21:9-27 A WONDERFUL PLACE CALLED HEAVEN Intro:
I believe the Bible. I believe in
taking this book literally. Therefore, I
believe in a literal place called Hell.
We talked about that place last Sunday.
I also believe in a literal place called Heaven. Some people think we are foolish to believe
in some city far above the earth, where people are happy, holy and home. I may be foolish for believing that, but I am
in good company! Jesus believed it. Paul, John and the rest of the disciples
believed it. Countless millions of
precious saints have entered death longing to go to that city. You might want to get the net, but I still
believe in Heaven. D.L.
Moody said, “The thought of Heaven has cheered the soul of many believers. Some say that we are fools to believe in
Heaven. But, to deny Heaven is to deny
Jesus, for He came from Heaven, it is to place our departed loved ones in the
cold dark grave, it is to deprive millions of Christians of the greatest hope
they have. To deny Heaven is equal to
murder for it kills hope, to thievery for it robs joy, to slander because it
calls God a liar.”
Just as we looked at a horrible place called Hell last week; I want
to preach today about A Wonderful Place Called Heaven. Now, I am not so foolish to believe that I can
do adequate justice to that place, but I want to give it a noble effort.

Christ? If you haven’t, you can and you
