Perplexing Questions About Heaven

The Hope of Heaven Series

Sermon by Pastor Brent Snook / Dec 7, 2025


Introduction

  • We continue our series: “The Hope of Heaven.”

  • Today’s message explores several perplexing questions about heaven.

  • Our goal: clarity, comfort, and confidence in God’s promises.

1. What Happens to Infants and Small Children Who Die Prematurely?

A. The of God

  • God is compassionate and just (Psalm 86:15).

  • Adults are accountable for creation’s testimony (Romans 1), but children are not.

  • Israel’s example shows God distinguishes between adults and children (Deuteronomy 1:39).

B. The of the Savior

  • Jesus does not desire that any child perish (Matthew 18:14).

  • Infants, miscarried babies, aborted babies, and those unable to understand are received into heaven.

C. The of David

  • David said of his child: “I shall go to him” (2 Samuel 12:23).

  • Believers can expect to see their children again.

2. Will Heaven Be Boring?

A. Is Boring?

  • God is the source of joy (Psalm 16:11).

  • Heaven reflects His creativity and goodness.

“Our belief that heaven will be boring
portrays a heresy that God is boring.
There is no greater nonsense. Our desire
for pleasure and the experience of joy
come directly from God’s hands. He
made our taste buds, adrenaline, desire
for pleasure.

Likewise, our imaginations and capacity
for joy and exhilaration were made by the
very God we accuse of being boring. Are
we so arrogant that we imagine that
human beings came up with the idea of
having fun?” – Randy Alcorn

B. Are Boring?

  • Perfect fellowship with the redeemed (Hebrews 12:22–23).

  • No conflict, dishonesty, or manipulation.

C. Will Our Be Boring?

  • Believers serve God joyfully (Matthew 25:21).

  • Heaven fulfills the longing of believers (Romans 8:22–23).

3. Will There Be Animals in Heaven?

  • God created and values animals (Genesis 6:19; Proverbs 12:10).

  • Animals were present in Eden, in the Ark, and at Christ’s birth.

  • Likely presence of animals in God’s renewed creation.

4. Will There Be Marriage in Heaven?

  • Earthly marriage will not continue in heaven (Matthew 22:30).

  • Marriage points to Christ and the believer.

  • Relationships in heaven will be deeper and free from sorrow.

5. Do People in Heaven Now See What Happens on Earth?

  • Possible heavenly awareness (Hebrews 12:1).

  • Joy in heaven when someone is saved (Luke 15:10).

  • The redeemed may celebrate earthly victories.

Conclusion

  • Heaven is real — joyful, relational, purposeful, and full of God’s glory.

  • The greatest question: Are you prepared for eternity?
