We’ve come to the end of our journey together through God’s Big Story. But it’s not really the end! Our prayer is that families will keep learning together and growing together in faith! Talking about Heaven is a great place to start this week. Here are some ideas:

Preschoolers: What do you want to do in Heaven? Who will you see there? How will you feel in Heaven? The Bible tells us there will be no crying, no hurts, no tears!

Early Elementary: The Bible tells is that Jesus is preparing a place for us in Heaven, and that “In my Father’s house there are many rooms.” (John 14:2-4) Describe what you hope to see and do in Heaven!

Older Elementary: How do you feel when you think about Heaven? What questions do you have? What do you hope for? What would it be like if time didn’t matter and there was no sadness?

Here are some more resources to help your family grow in faith together!

• The Beginner’s Gospel Story Bible (great for toddlers and preschoolers!)

• The Hear-Me-Read Bible (great for young readers!)

• Notes from Jesus (one of my very favorite books for early elementary!)

• Kindling the Heart- Family Edition (simple devotions for families!)

• RightNowMedia and Minno (Christian video content for kids!)

• Seeds Kids Worship and Rain for Roots (Kids worship and Bible memory songs)

There's a lot of myths and misinformation around the end of time. It tends to make imaginations run wild (as a quick Google search will show). In this week’s episode, Pastor Jim Mueller separates fact from fiction. We're going right to the source—the Book of Revelation—to find out what the Bible really has to say on the subject. What we find is both fantastical and fascinating. Revelation is a book like no other, and I am excited to teach on a topic that inspires so much good (and really, really bad) discussion. Let's get to the real story and discover what apocalyptic writing from 2000 years ago can tell us about our world today...and in the future.
