CHAT-A-BOX Pt 7. Heaven and EarthSample

CONVERSATION STARTERS Q1)  Which do you spend the most time thinking about: today, the past, or the future? Q2)  What do you think of when you hear the word “eternity”? What does the Bible say about eternity? * God is eternal. He has no beginning or end. Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands. They will perish, but you remain forever; they will wear out like old clothing. You will change them like a garment and discard them. But you are always the same; you will live forever. (Psalm 102:25-27) * God has given us an awareness of eternity. Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11) * God invites each of us to spend eternity with him through faith in Jesus. “For this is how God loved the world: He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) Discussion Questions 1.
