Who Lives There? (2 of 12)
Series: A Closer Look at Heaven
Dan Rodgers
Revelation 21:1, 2, 10, 11, 22-27

INTRODUCTION:

1. In our lesson last week the title of the message was, "Ready and Waiting." We had two main points: "Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people," and "heaven is a promised place for a patient people."
