Hey, I'm James MacDonald. Thanks for tuning in again this week to our weekly Bible teaching.

I hope that it's a source of spiritual nourishment for you that you trust and rely upon.

We're so happy to send it out to you. And, you know, I've preached a lot of messages through the years.

But this message on Revelation chapter 21 has gone further and to more people, I think by far,

than any message I ever preached. It was originally called What's Up with Heaven. And then

I preached to that Moody Founders Week when they called me at the last minute needed to fill

in. I was kind of nervous, but it was the first time I had ever spoken there at Moody Church.

And, but then when I taught through Revelation, I expanded it into the whole chapter,

Revelation, chapter 21. The biggest part of it is about heaven and what heaven is about,

what it has in store for us who love him.

And truth is the Bible says much, much, much, much more about hell than it says about heaven.

So we will fear that outcome and follow and trust and love the Lord.

So, but if we do get a little glimpse of heaven, I think if he told us more,

we'd all be looking for an early exit ramp. Heaven will be awesome. You will not be disappointed. And this will put practical

things on the tip of your tongue in regard to what our hope specifically is. Revelation 21. Let's go.

Good morning.

Great to see all of you here.

I hope you've brought hungry hearts for the Word of God.

It's been great to worship the Lord.

And now I want to invite you to take your Bible.

If you didn't bring a Bible, there might be one underneath a chair in front of you or somewhere nearby.

And you're in a room full of people who would love to share with you.
