Psalm 23 says that the ultimate expression of God’s goodness happens in eternity. That means you don’t have to fear death, because death is not the end. It’s simply a transition to an incredible, unbelievable eternity in heaven. In this message, Pastor Rick shares the facts about heaven—what it is, what it’s not, and what you’ll do once you get there.God created every person because he wants them to be a part of his family. He invites everyone to heaven, his home, but not everyone chooses to accept God’s terms. Pastor Rick shares in this message how you can accept God’s invitation to heaven.
