Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station on today's edition of Pathway to Victory.

Is heaven a real place or is it simply a state of mind?

There's no better authority to answer that question than the only person who has actually been to heaven and come back to tell us what is really there.

His name is Jesus Christ.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

Is heaven a real place or simply a state of mind?

If heaven is a physical destination, where is it located?

And what will it be like to live there forever?

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress turns to passages in both the Old and New Testaments to discover what God's Word says about our eternal home.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message.

Dr. Jeffress?

Thanks David and welcome again to Pathway to Victory.

It's Thursday, September 1 and that's a reminder that you only have 29 more days to take advantage of the early bird registration discount for our Pathway to Victory tour of Israel next April 25th through May 5th.

We'll stand on the plane of Maguito where the final world battle known as Armageddon will be fought.

We'll stand on the top of the Mount of Olives where Jesus promised to come back again one day.

To find out more, go to ptv.org, download the brochure, look at the itinerary, but most importantly, take advantage of the discounted price between now and September 30th.

In our sophisticated age, many agnostics believe that heaven is nothing more than a figment of our imagination.

Today I'm presenting a message that answers the question, is heaven a real place?

And along those lines I've written a best-selling book that's designed to instill you with hope and anticipation.

Now this is new, it's never been offered before, it's entitled Encouragement from a Place Called Heaven.

Based on my original book, A Place Called Heaven, this gift book is a beautiful reminder both in words and in pictures of what God has planned for you.

And it's a great tool to give somebody who doesn't know Christ yet a Savior, maybe somebody who's going through a loss in their life as well.
