Hope

Heaven is a central theme of our faith and yet is often misunderstood. Many long for hope, but their idea of heaven remains abstract and distant. However, the Bible shows us that heaven is real and tangible—and begins today. Those who recognize what is to come live changed in the here and now. In this reading plan, we discover how God is already bringing heaven into our everyday lives.
