Preparation for Heaven

No, it's not about death and dying, it's about living in a way that fits with heavenly life and so not only prepares us for life after death but confirms heavenly qualities with us in this world.

Check out the summer sermon series about this preparation: - what it takes, how it works, and what it really means to be "saved". Many of these talks are based on parables found in the Gospels, and explain the symbolic meaning of otherwise confusing details in these stories. Go to sermons in the resource tab and come back every week or two through the summer for more.
