Book of Romans: Hope of Eternity

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | October 26th, 2025

Referenced Scripture:
Mark 1:1, Mark 14b-15, Genesis 1:1, John 1:14, 1 Corinthians 6:19, John 6:10, Revelation 21:3

Reflection Questions:
1. What there something from the sermon that grabbed your attention or stuck out to you? What did you like? Not like? Not understand? What questions do you have? Was there anything you disagreed with?

2. “The goal of our faith is not to get to heaven when we die but to bring heaven to earth while we live.” Agree or disagree? Why? How would you explain this statement in your own words?

3. What comes to your mind when you think of heaven? What has shaped your perspective on what heaven is and what it is not?

4. What does the Bible mean when it says that the Kingdom of heaven has come near? (Matthew 4:17) How do we experience the kingdom of heaven while we are still alive? How will we experience it fully when God restores all things?

5. Jesus taught us to pray in Matthew 6:10… “your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

6. How can we be an answer to this prayer? How can we be part of God’s mission to bring heaven to earth? How do we see the kingdom of heaven breaking into earth today?

7. How might this mental map of heaven change the way we live our life and live out our faith?
