Episode 373: When Heaven Comes Down: How the Hope of Heaven Shapes the Way We Live Today

What happens when we die? And what does heaven really look like? In this powerful Memorial Day weekend message, we explore the astonishing story of Casey Cleveland—a worship leader who suffered a massive stroke and experienced a profound peace on the brink of death. His near-death testimony offers a glimpse of something greater… but Scripture tells us there’s even more.

Drawing from Revelation 21, this sermon challenges popular ideas about heaven and paints a more hopeful, grounded picture: not of escape, but of renewal. A holy city. A world made whole. God’s presence with us, forever.

If you’ve ever wondered about life after death—or struggled to find meaning in the here and now—this message will bring comfort, clarity, and hope.
