Title: What's Heaven Like? (4)
Series: Big Questions, BIGGER God: Life, Death, and What Happens Next
Author: Brad Whitt
Text: John 14:1-3
INTRODUCTION
Take your Bibles this morning and turn with me to John Chapter 14. We're in the middle of a series of messages entitled "Big Questions, Bigger God." We're learning what the Bible has to say about life, death, and what happens next.
So far, we've dealt with the questions of:
- "Is there life after death?"

Every week we've dug deep into God's Word to find the real and relevant answers for the questions we all face - not just in our heads, but in our hearts.
This morning, we come to a question that stirs our curiosity and stokes our hope: "What's Heaven Like?"
ILLUSTRATION
When I was in my first pastorate, a young mom in our church collapsed at work and died suddenly of an aneurysm. I'll never forget standing beside her husband in that hospital hallway, looking at her body on the table, covered with a white sheet. That young husband dropped to the floor sobbing and crying, and then he looked up at me with tear-filled eyes and asked me a question I've never forgotten: "Pastor, is there really a Heaven?"
That question has echoed in my heart and on my mind for nearly 30 years. "Is there really a Heaven?" "Is Heaven really real?"
All around us, people are asking that very question: "Is Heaven real?" And God, in His goodness and grace, has answered it - not with speculation or sentiment, but with Scripture.
ILLUSTRATION
Back in 1978, a young airline pilot named Jim O'Neill was flying on a solo trip from Scotland to London when he suddenly went blind mid-trip due to a medical emergency. He radioed for help, panicked, not knowing how he'd survive. The British Royal Air Force scrambled a jet, and Flight Lieutenant Paul Gerrard found O'Neill in the sky. For the next 40 minutes, Gerrard flew alongside him, gently ...
