    About this ebook

    The Story of Heaven small group video Bible study is a three-week exploration into the hope and promise of Heaven, adapted from God’s Story, Your Story and The Story Adult Curriculum. Pulled straight from the pages of the Bible, this study provides individuals and groups of all sizes the opportunity to learn, discuss, and apply biblical teaching about heaven to their everyday lives.

    This Participant's Guide (DVD/digital video sold separately) will open your eyes to the glorious finale of God's masterfully-told story. Discover the heart of God's Story and the joy that comes as you align your story with God's. Max Lucado and Randy Frazee offer a hope-filled perspective of heaven, showing groups:

    • The power of the words "Christ has risen" and the hope that they provide
    • How Jesus promises this same type of resurrection to those who follow Him
    • The promise of new bodies without sickness and without the struggles of the flesh
    • A picture of what the kingdom of God will be like from the book of Revelation
    • How we can participate in God's ultimate story
    • How Jesus will return to earth and live with us in a new earth forever

    Sessions include:

    1. Exit Strategy (Lucado)
    2. Heavenly Graduation (Lucado)
    3. The End of Time (Frazee)
