Heaven: Why It May Not Be What You've Always Heard

Mar 8, 2026    Rubel Shelly

Take a fresh look at what the Bible actually says about heaven, resurrection, and God’s plan for creation. This lesson reflects over 20 years of study and may challenge some of the ideas many of us grew up with—especially the assumption that the goal of the Christian life is simply to “go to heaven when we die.”


Instead of imagining heaven as a distant, disembodied existence beyond the clouds, this class walks through Scripture from Genesis to Revelation and shows how the Bible repeatedly points to heaven coming to earth. God created the world to be His dwelling place, made humans to bear His image, and intends not to abandon creation, but to restore and renew it.
