In the Market with Janet Parshall
September 29, 2023
Hour 1: Heaven On Earth
For all the skepticism that abounds in our time, people still want to know what happens after death. Do you know with any certainty where your conscious, thinking, self–aware, communicative self will be? And does it matter, as long as you are in ’heaven’? But the importance of ’heaven’ does not consist only in it being the alternative to ’hell’. It is not just an abstract future state into which we will slip, it is a physical reality which can give us joy and hope even now as we look toward it. Our guest will examine how the Christian can and should think about heaven.
Hour 2: Enjoying God
What is the key to actually enjoying God? Christians talk a lot about having a relationship with God – but what exactly does it mean to have a relationship with someone we cannot see? Today, we will discover not only what it means to have a relationship with the living God – Father, Son and Spirit – but also how it can be infused with genuine joy.
