What will we actually do for eternity? This session shatters the common myth of heaven as an endless, static worship service and opens our imagination to the biblical promise of reigning, creating, and living fully on a restored earth. John Eldredge explores chapters 7 and 8 of All Things New, revealing that eternity is not a cloudy afterlife but a tangible continuation of God’s story—with us fully restored, evil vanquished, and the Kingdom made real on earth.
Drawing from Revelation 19–22 and Isaiah 65, this session gives fresh meaning to eternal life. God’s promise isn’t the obliteration of this world but its renewal—where evil is judged, justice is done, and we take our place as sons and daughters, co-ruling with Christ. You’ll discover that your gifts, passions, and longings were never random. In the coming Kingdom, you’ll create, build, lead, and celebrate—doing everything you were made to do, in a world made new.
From crafting music to planting vineyards, from preparing feasts to ruling cities, the new earth is bursting with purpose. The story doesn’t end—it continues, gloriously.
