Why I Want to Go to Heaven
August 15, 2026

Guest Pastor Dave Stone explores the promise of heaven and eternal life with Christ, drawing from John 14 and Revelation 21. We discover that Jesus's promise to prepare a place for us isn't a vague hope but a solid foundation to hold onto amid life's uncertainties. We learn that our earthly bodies are temporary tents while an eternal home awaits, and one day we will know God fully, face to face, rather than through the dim reflection we experience now. And we are challenged to live with heaven in mind, recognizing that our true citizenship is in heaven and that Jesus himself—not a place or activity—is what makes heaven truly heaven.

Parables
The stories Jesus told and what they mean for your life today . Why did Jesus teach in stories? Because the deepest truths about God are often found in the ordinary moments of life. In the parables, Jesus takes everyday things, a lost sheep, a dinner party, a farmer planting seeds and uses them to show us what God is really like and what it means to follow him. This summer, we’re spending seven weeks in the parables from Luke’s gospel. Whether you’ve heard these stories a hundred times or this is your first time, you’re invited to come and hear them fresh. June 27/28–August 8/9
