Key Theme:
God desires to dwell with His people being intimately, restoratively, and satisfyingly present.
Key Application:
Walk and live in the hope and promise that God is cultivating you and His church to be with Him.
Key Verse:
Isaiah 55:2 “Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food.”
Key Questions:
1. Spend time imagining what a sinless unbroken world would be like united with heaven? Write down five specific things. Meditate on those things and thank God for the promise of something even better than you can imagine.
2. Write down or discuss the things that most distract you from the hope of the world to come. How can you push against that?
3. Consider and discuss or write down some ways in which you can see God cultivating you in this life.
