Heaven
“Will I Be Bored?”
Revelation 21-22

The most heavenly minded are the most earthly good!

“Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits at God’s right hand in the place of honor and power.” – Col. 3:1 (NLT)

Will I be bored?

Revelation 21-22

Boredom is being:
Uninterested – lack of curiosity
Dissatisfied – inactivity
Drained – lack of fulfillment & excitement
Jaded – fun that is defined by someone else

Hell is boring!
Hell is torment and isolation where friendships and fun don’t exist.

“Heaven is boring” has 3 underlying problems.
Bad assumption: Self-indulgence is fun
Wrong reality: God is boring
Vicious rumor: There’s nothing to do

Response: Self-indulgence is fun
The devil’s greatest lie
Self-indulgence shrinks life
Self-indulgence brings temporary pleasure that leads to long term emptiness
Emptiness inevitably leads to boredom

Response: God is boring
God is the author of fun
God promises laughter, joy, and endless pleasure
Boredom is impossible in God’s presence

Response: There’s nothing to do
I will have a great and ever-increasing capacity for joy
I will help God run the universe
I will serve God, exercise leadership authority, and make decisions
I will be involved in music, dancing, storytelling, art, drama, entertainment, and sports

Revelation 22:3 - No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.

So…
Make your life about someone else
Discover God’s beauty
Do what you enjoy and play hard

Eternal life will be enjoying forever what life on Earth is at its finest moments
