Discussion Questions

• Have you seen any movies or television programmes that have portrayed heaven? What was heaven like?
• Before tonight, what did you think heaven was going to be like?
• From the description in Revelation 21, what is most attractive about heaven? What is least attractive about heaven? Why do you think this?
