Wealth vs. Well-Being: A Modern Paradox

What if the emptiness you feel isn’t because you’re doing life wrong, but because you’re expecting earth to deliver what only heaven can?We’re kicking off Heaven Week 1 by rethinking everything we thought we knew about the afterlife. Most of us don’t have time to think about heaven—we’re just trying to get through the week. But what if a right view of heaven could radically change the way we live right now? What if the soul-deep ache we carry is a sign that we were made for more than just this world?This message challenges the idea that heaven is just something to deal with when we die. Drawing from Hebrews 11, Philippians 3, and CS Lewis, we uncover how a deep hope in heaven reshapes how we parent, grieve, hustle, forgive, and live. We’re not here to escape the world—we’re here to bring heaven into it, one faithful act at a time. Because this world isn’t our home. And when we live like heaven is real, it changes everything.
