  • We don't have to gaze into the dome
  • 00:05:58.207 --> 00:05:59.842
  • Of a great cathedral to learn about heaven,
  • 00:05:59.842 --> 00:06:03.546
  • Only into the pages of a great book, the bible.
  • 00:06:03.546 --> 00:06:09.118
  • There we're told of a celestial city
  • 00:06:09.118 --> 00:06:12.054
  • With gates of pearl and streets of gold
  • 00:06:12.054 --> 00:06:15.425
  • And mansions for each resident.
  • 00:06:15.425 --> 00:06:19.128
  • There we catch a glimpse of our eternal home
  • 00:06:19.128 --> 00:06:21.664
  • Where there is no more pain, suffering, sorrow, or death.
  • 00:06:21.664 --> 00:06:27.703
  • A world without fear, war, crime, or hate.
  • 00:06:27.703 --> 00:06:34.010
  • A place where there will be no more sad goodbyes.
  • 00:06:34.010 --> 00:06:39.382
  • Tonight, we will imagine and articulate
  • 00:06:39.382 --> 00:06:42.718
  • Glimpses of heaven through song.
  • 00:06:42.718 --> 00:06:46.255
  • We have assembled an amazing choir and orchestra,
  • 00:06:46.255 --> 00:06:50.026
  • And will be blessed
  • 00:06:50.026 --> 00:06:51.627
  • By my special co-host, sheila walsh,
  • 00:06:51.627 --> 00:06:54.797
  • And musical guests.
  • 00:06:54.797 --> 00:06:57.200
  • I'm thrilled about this celebration
  • 00:06:57.200 --> 00:06:59.001
  • Because it centers on the best news in the world.
  • 00:06:59.001 --> 00:07:04.140
  • Based on the authority of the word of god, there is a heaven.
  • 00:07:04.140 --> 00:07:07.777
  • It is real.
  • 00:07:07.777 --> 00:07:09.111
  • It is a place.
  • 00:07:09.111 --> 00:07:10.780
  • And god has described it for us
  • 00:07:10.780 --> 00:07:12.849
  • In incredible detail in the bible.
  • 00:07:12.849 --> 00:07:15.651
  • He wants us to know about it, visualize it,
  • 00:07:15.651 --> 00:07:18.154
  • Imagine it, and prepare for it.
  • 00:07:18.154 --> 00:07:21.691
  • We find descriptions of heaven from genesis to revelation,
  • 00:07:21.691 --> 00:07:25.862
  • And the closing chapters of the bible
  • 00:07:25.862 --> 00:07:27.763
  • Provide a travel guide to our eternal home.
  • 00:07:27.763 --> 00:07:32.168
  • The bible reveals the mysteries of heaven,
  • 00:07:32.168 --> 00:07:35.104
  • And the lord jesus himself,
  • 00:07:35.104 --> 00:07:37.306
  • Who ascended to heaven at the end of the gospels,
  • 00:07:37.306 --> 00:07:40.409
  • Is preparing to come again for us,
  • 00:07:40.409 --> 00:07:43.079
  • Take us there to live with him forever.
  • 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.716
  • Heaven is a precious place,
  • 00:07:46.716 --> 00:07:48.751
  • And we should anticipate it to the utmost.
  • 00:07:48.751 --> 00:07:52.054
  • Amid anxiety, it consoles us.
  • 00:07:52.054 --> 00:07:55.424
  • In sickness, it anchors our hope, and in poverty,
  • 00:07:55.424 --> 00:07:58.928
  • It reminds us of our coming wealth.
  • 00:07:58.928 --> 00:08:02.164
  • I can't think of a more appropriate way
  • 00:08:02.164 --> 00:08:05.268
  • To turn our thoughts toward heaven than through music.
  • 00:08:05.268 --> 00:08:10.172
  • The apostle john gives us a glimpse into heaven
  • 00:08:10.172 --> 00:08:13.776
  • In revelation chapter 5,
  • 00:08:13.776 --> 00:08:15.845
  • Where tens of millions of believers lift perfect voices
  • 00:08:15.845 --> 00:08:20.216
  • In a perfect song,
  • 00:08:20.216 --> 00:08:22.184
  • Glorifying the perfection of our god and singing,
  • 00:08:22.184 --> 00:08:26.222
  • "blessing and honor and glory and power
  • 00:08:26.222 --> 00:08:29.492
  • Be to him who sits on the throne and to the lamb
  • 00:08:29.492 --> 00:08:32.962
  • Forever and ever."
  • 00:08:32.962 --> 00:08:35.765
  • Tonight, we are going to practice for that day in heaven.
  • 00:08:35.765 --> 00:08:40.703
  • Our exceptional musical guests and choir will lift their voices
  • 00:08:40.703 --> 00:08:44.774
  • To god, all accompanied by this outstanding orchestra.
  • 00:08:44.774 --> 00:08:49.679
  • So i invite you to sit back and take in the beauty of the music,
  • 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:53.749
  • The profound meaning of the lyrics, and imagine,
  • 00:08:53.749 --> 00:08:57.453
  • Even savor, these glimpses of heaven.
  • 00:08:57.453 --> 00:09:01.891
  • I pray that through this presentation,
  • 00:09:01.891 --> 00:09:05.194
  • God will speak to you, comfort you, encourage you,
  • 00:09:05.194 --> 00:09:10.900
  • And even strengthen your resolve to live more effectively
  • 00:09:10.900 --> 00:09:14.704
  • In this world as you patiently await the day
  • 00:09:14.704 --> 00:09:18.007
  • When you will spend eternity in heaven with him.
  • 00:09:18.007 --> 00:09:21.210
  • This, my friends, is a special night.
  • 00:09:21.210 --> 00:09:24.814
  • So as we begin this musical journey,
  • 00:09:24.814 --> 00:09:28.084
  • Let's remember and be reminded
  • 00:09:28.084 --> 00:09:29.952
  • Of another glimpse of our heavenly home,
  • 00:09:29.952 --> 00:09:32.688
  • This time given to us by jesus.
  • 00:09:32.688 --> 00:09:36.258
  • He said, "let not your hearts be troubled:
  • 00:09:36.258 --> 00:09:40.796
  • You believe in god, believe also in me.
  • 00:09:40.796 --> 00:09:45.034
  • In my father's house are many mansions,
  • 00:09:45.034 --> 00:09:48.204
  • And if it were not so, i would have told you.
  • 00:09:48.204 --> 00:09:51.407
  • I go to prepare a place for you.
  • 00:09:51.407 --> 00:09:54.443
  • And if i go to prepare a place for you,
  • 00:09:54.443 --> 00:09:57.713
  • I will come again and receive you unto myself;
  • 00:09:57.713 --> 00:10:01.283
  • That where i am, there you may be also."

  • 00:28:36.598 --> 00:28:41.402
  • Life seems more difficult than we can sometimes bear,
  • 00:28:41.402 --> 00:28:45.006
  • Especially when we're stunned by grief,
  • 00:28:45.006 --> 00:28:48.009
  • Worried about loved ones,
  • 00:28:48.009 --> 00:28:50.044
  • Distressed over health and finances,
  • 00:28:50.044 --> 00:28:53.581
  • Or reeling from waves of fear.
  • 00:28:53.581 --> 00:28:56.951
  • We long for joy in the morning,
  • 00:28:56.951 --> 00:28:59.788
  • But sometimes we're trapped in the darkest night.
  • 00:28:59.788 --> 00:29:03.892
  • However, there's one thing we know about the night.
  • 00:29:03.892 --> 00:29:07.962
  • It is not permanent.
  • 00:29:07.962 --> 00:29:09.931
  • We are not forsaken, not forgotten,
  • 00:29:09.931 --> 00:29:14.068
  • Not destitute, not detached.
  • 00:29:14.068 --> 00:29:17.839
  • If we can lift our eyes heavenward and whisper a prayer
  • 00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:21.476
  • In jesus's name,
  • 00:29:21.476 --> 00:29:23.378
  • We'll eventually see a glimpse of hope on the horizon.
  • 00:29:23.378 --> 00:29:28.483
  • The lord has a way of imparting grace when we need it most.
  • 00:29:28.483 --> 00:29:34.122
  • He enables us hour by hour, moment by moment.
  • 00:29:34.122 --> 00:29:38.626
  • He reminds us that our light and momentary troubles
  • 00:29:38.626 --> 00:29:42.597
  • Are not worth comparing to the glory
  • 00:29:42.597 --> 00:29:44.999
  • That will be revealed in heaven.
  • 00:29:44.999 --> 00:29:48.236
  • We all want to go to heaven,
  • 00:29:48.236 --> 00:29:50.738
  • But it's the getting there that can be trying.
  • 00:29:50.738 --> 00:29:54.809
  • Until the day god calls us home, we will encounter pain,
  • 00:29:54.809 --> 00:29:58.546
  • Suffering, and sorrow.
  • 00:29:58.546 --> 00:30:01.783
  • Sorrow may be the most difficult,
  • 00:30:01.783 --> 00:30:04.552
  • Separation from those we love.
  • 00:30:04.552 --> 00:30:07.989
  • The loss of a friend or loved one can be the deepest darkness
  • 00:30:07.989 --> 00:30:11.860
  • Known to god's people on earth.
  • 00:30:11.860 --> 00:30:14.495
  • In pain, the psalmist cried out to god,
  • 00:30:14.495 --> 00:30:18.099
  • "you have taken away my companions
  • 00:30:18.099 --> 00:30:20.268
  • And loved ones.
  • 00:30:20.268 --> 00:30:21.769
  • Darkness is my closest friend."
  • 00:30:21.769 --> 00:30:25.373
  • Perhaps tonight you're missing someone separated from you
  • 00:30:25.373 --> 00:30:29.444
  • By death: a mother, a father, brother or sister,
  • 00:30:29.444 --> 00:30:37.185
  • A child, an unborn child.
  • 00:30:37.185 --> 00:30:41.522
  • Maybe a special friend, teacher, or neighbor.
  • 00:30:41.522 --> 00:30:45.994
  • When you arrive in heaven,
  • 00:30:45.994 --> 00:30:47.729
  • After jesus who do you want to see next?
  • 00:30:47.729 --> 00:30:53.134
  • Most likely you're thinking of someone in particular,
  • 00:30:53.134 --> 00:30:57.171
  • Someone waiting for you in heaven.
  • 00:30:57.171 --> 00:31:00.642
  • Can you imagine the reunion you will have
  • 00:31:00.642 --> 00:31:03.611
  • Just inside those pearly gates standing on streets of gold?
  • 00:31:03.611 --> 00:31:10.084
  • The truth of heaven not only provides anticipation
  • 00:31:10.084 --> 00:31:13.087
  • Regarding our future, but it also comforts us
  • 00:31:13.087 --> 00:31:17.058
  • In regard to those who have gone before us.
  • 00:31:17.058 --> 00:31:20.628
  • Heaven is already a heavily populated land
  • 00:31:20.628 --> 00:31:24.565
  • Filled with glorious residents, many of whom you will know.
  • 00:31:24.565 --> 00:31:30.405
  • So whether it's pain, suffering, sorrow, or death,
  • 00:31:30.405 --> 00:31:35.376
  • The word of god offers us hope in our darkest times.
  • 00:31:35.376 --> 00:31:40.315
  • Revelation 21:4 tells us: "he will wipe away every tear
  • 00:31:40.315 --> 00:31:46.120
  • From their eyes, and death shall be no more,
  • 00:31:46.120 --> 00:31:50.024
  • Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying,
  • 00:31:50.024 --> 00:31:53.061
  • Nor pain anymore,
  • 00:31:53.061 --> 00:31:55.330
  • For the former things have passed away."
  • 00:31:55.330 --> 00:31:59.334
  • One day our loving father will bring us home
  • 00:31:59.334 --> 00:32:05.173
  • And in that land there will be no more night
  • 00:32:05.173 --> 00:32:09.911
  • For we will live in the light of the risen one.
