God Gives Us Hope Through the Promise of Heaven

HIGHLIGHTS
Last Sunday Discovery Point:
God gives us hope through the promise of heaven

Last Sunday Key Verse:
"For the Lamb on the throne will be their Shepherd. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water. And God will wipe every tear from their eyes” (Revelation 7:17)


FAMILY DEVOTION
No tears in heaven!
Things will be really different in heaven! Read Revelation 7:16-17 to see how great things will be.

Then, try this!
Take your daily or weekly newspaper and read through some of the headlines together. Using a blue marking pen, draw a large teardrop over the stories that are about things we won’t have to deal with in heaven.

ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS
• How does it make you feel when you read some of these stories?
• Why won’t you find these stories in heaven?
• If there were newspapers in heaven, what kinds of stories do you think would be in them?

FAMILY CHALLENGE
Put on your newspaper-reporter cap, and together as a family create the first issue of the Heavenly Times newspaper. What would be on the front page?
