Sunday’s message in our Real Answers about Heaven series was called Family Reunion, taken from 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Here is a brief outline of the message:
I. We will be reunited when Christ returns
A. The dead in Christ will rise first
– 1 Thessalonians 4:13-16
B. Then we who are still alive will be caught up with them
– 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52
II. We will join with the whole family of God
A. We will know and recognize each other
– Matthew 8:11, 17:3; Luke 10:20; Philippians 3:21 (see Ecclesiastes 1:11)
B. We will be reunited with our family members
– 2 Samuel 12:23; Zechariah 8:5; Matthew 22:30
C. We will all live in perfect harmony
– Colossians 3:10-11; Hebrews 12:22-23
III. Christ will still be the main attraction!
– 1 Thessalonians 4:17
Three applications:
1) Reconcile with others now – don’t wait for heaven (Matthew 5:23-24)
2) Grieve – but not like those who have no hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13)
3) Pray for your unsaved loved ones to come to Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:14)

Someone said, when Christ return, we will all be together forever, and so we might as well get along now and put our differences aside.
Thanks!
