Heaven

"A Fixer Upper" I have a very good friend who is excellent at flipping houses. He finds houses that are in disrepair and buys them at a low price and then fixes them up so they can be sold at reasonable prices that ordinary folks can afford. The picture above shows the before and after of a property. The challenge for many of us, myself included, is we are much closer to that before picture than the after picture. And not just ourselves, but people around us and even the environment we live in. The whole earth needs a makeover in the worst way, but we forget who has the power to make it happen. Today we are going to take the time to search through the Bible to see there is a carpenter who is The Ultimate Extreme Home 🏠 Makeover King!

"Our Neighborhood" Most of you watching or listening to me now have lived in more than one place. I have a question for you. In your life up to this point, where was your favorite place to live? The last time we talked about Heaven I used the analogy of Extreme Home Makeover. I want to carry on that theme for today. One of the most important things about looking for the right place to live is finding the right neighborhood. How the neighborhood looks, are there good schools, are there recreational activities nearby, etc. I know for me what really makes a great neighborhood are the neighbors. Are they easy to talk to? Do they care about you? Do they look out for the property you steward while you are away? So when you are thinking about the best neighborhood you have ever been in with the best neighbors, do we realize in heaven, God will be our neighbor. I know, hard to conceive, but that is what we are going to be talking about today. God Will Be Our Neighbor
