Is This Heaven?
What Happens When You Die? | Heaven
June 7-8, 2025 | By Jesse DeYoung
What if facing death is the only way to finally live?
Most people spend their lives avoiding the thought of dying—but what if that’s where real clarity comes from? In this honest and hope-filled message, we wrestle with the question “What happens when you die?”—through personal story, Jesus’ final moments on the cross, and the raw truth about heaven and hell. This isn’t scare-tactic religion. It’s an invitation to face reality, find purpose, and live fully now.

// Bible References: Psalm 90:12; Luke 23:32-43; Rev 6:9-11; Phil 1:21-25; 2 Cor 5:17-21
// Community Question: How do you think the world would change if there were no doubt about the afterlife?
// Discussion Questions
- Jesus lived with a clear purpose, even in His final moments. What can we learn from the way He lived about how to live with intention? What’s one area in your life where you sense God calling you to focus or be more intentional right now?
- Jesse describes hell as eternal separation from God, emphasizing that it's a choice people make rather than a punishment imposed by God. How does that shift the way you think about life after death? What role do our choices play in shaping our eternity?
- Jesse emphasized that hell isn't just a future event, but something we can see in daily behaviors like bitterness, isolation, and unforgiveness. In what ways can 'hell-like' behaviors affect our life and the lives of those around us?
- Going Deeper: How do you honestly feel when you hear the phrase “Remember you must die”?
How does thinking about the shortness of life help clarify what really matters to you?
What’s one practical way you could live differently this week with that perspective in mind?
// Challenge: Jesse challenged us to live as ambassadors of heaven, bringing hope, peace, and joy to the world around us. What’s one way you can bring a little bit of heaven into someone’s life this week, whether it’s in this group, at home, or at work?
