What is heaven really like right now? In this message, Pastor Shane explores the biblical picture of the “present heaven” — the place where believers go when they die — and how it differs from the future “new heavens and new earth” still to come. Through powerful scriptures from Genesis to Revelation, we discover: What the Bible reveals about the current heaven as a place of God’s presence and worship Jesus’ teaching on heaven as a real, tangible, rewarding place prepared for His people Why living with eternity in mind changes how we act, give, and serve today The urgency of the gospel — because life is short, but eternity is forever This sermon will expand your vision of heaven, inspire you to live with purpose, and remind you that every moment matters in light of eternity.
What really happens after we die? In this message, Pastor Shane unpacks what the Bible says about heaven, the afterlife, and God’s eternal plan for His people.

This message will help you see heaven not as a distant idea, but as the ultimate reality we’re called to live for — right now.
This message is drawn from the missionary journeys of Paul (Acts 9:15-16; Acts 13:1-5) to remind us of the vital call to endure in faith. Just as Paul pressed forward through suffering and setbacks, we too are called to persevere when life doesn’t match our expectations.
This message focuses on the urgency of missions, emphasizing the need to spread the Gospel with fervor and commitment. The key scripture, John 9:4, serves as a reminder of the limited time we have to fulfill God's work.
To welcome God’s fire daily, walk in intimacy with the Holy Spirit, and let our lives become a witness that draws others to Him. Revival comes when His fire consumes us and His glory shines through us.
The tithe is, by definition, the first tenth. Sometimes people talk of putting anything in the offering as a “tithe.” It’s not a tithe unless it’s the first tenth. Anything less than that is not a tithe. And, biblically, anything beyond that is not a tithe either. It then is a “freewill offering” to use the Old Testament term or “generosity” to use the language of the New Testament.
God’s design is for us to grow and flourish in Him, and Jesus makes a promise to us as His followers: “I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.” (New American Standard Bible, 1995, John 15:5-8)
All of us want to hear God who speaks by His Word and by His Spirit. Are there things we can do to hear Him more? And are there things we can do that can interfere with our ability to hear?
There is no doubt that we need power – and greater power – to overcome the work and attack of the enemy all around us. The question is, “Is there any way for us to be more effective in the place of prayer? Is there any way for us to pray with greater power?”
What does the Bible say about women and about the role of women? There are competing views and answers to this question, each pointing to their own verses in the Bible to support their position.
