Loss

In Part 2 of this Heaven series, Mark Oakes, UCB's Managing Director, continues to explore what the Bible says about eternity. Building on the promise of Heaven, he unpacks what it means to live with hope today, how we can be sure of our eternal destination, and why Jesus’ invitation still stands for each of us.

Heaven (Part 2)

God spoke an ancient word over your life that promised hope and a good future. Regardless of circumstances, He can orchestrate a turnaround that sets you on a path of victory, breakthrough, deliverance, healing, and provision. Trust Him at your crossroads; make Him your only option. Be open to change and expect the unexpected. God’s jaw-dropping goodness awaits you!
