June's lesson series at Highland Heights church of Christ focuses on the relentless pursuit of heaven. Here is the June 1 evening lesson, "Don't Miss it!" with Wayne Cornwell
3. Hebrews 11:13-16
13 These all died in faith, not
having received the
promises, but having seen
them afar off were assured
of them, embraced them and
confessed that they were
strangers and pilgrims on the
earth.
4. Hebrews 11:13-16
14 For those who say such
things declare plainly that
they seek a homeland.
15 And truly if they had called
to mind that country from
which they had come out,
they would have had
opportunity to return.
5. Hebrews 11:13-16
16 But now they desire a
better, that is, a heavenly
country. Therefore God is
not ashamed to be called
their God, for He has
prepared a city for them.

7. 1Peter 1:3-5
3 Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, who according to His
abundant mercy has
begotten us again to a living
hope through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead,
8. 1Peter 1:3-5
4 to an inheritance
incorruptible and undefiled
and that does not fade away,
reserved in heaven for you,
5 who are kept by the power
of God through faith for
salvation ready to be
revealed in the last time.
11. 1Corinthians 15:50-53
50 Now this I say, brethren,
that flesh and blood cannot
inherit the kingdom of God;
nor does corruption inherit
incorruption.
13. 1Corinthians 15:50-53
52 in a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, at the
last trumpet. For the
trumpet will sound, and the
dead will be raised
incorruptible, and we shall
be changed.
14. 1Corinthians 15:50-53
53 For this corruptible must
put on incorruption, and this
mortal must put on
immortality.
15. 1John 3:2
Beloved, now we are
children of God; and it has
not yet been revealed what
we shall be, but we know
that when He is revealed,
we shall be like Him, for we
shall see Him as He is.
17. John 14:1-3
1 “Let not your heart be
troubled; you believe in God,
believe also in Me. 2 In My
Father’s house are many
mansions; if it were not so, I
would have told you. I go to
prepare a place for you.
18. John 14:1-3
3 And if I go and prepare a
place for you, I will come
again and receive you to
Myself; that where I am,
there you may be also.
19. Hebrews 11:9,10
9 By faith he dwelt in the land
of promise as in a foreign
country, dwelling in tents with
Isaac and Jacob, the heirs
with him of the same promise;
10 for he waited for the city
which has foundations, whose
builder and maker is God.
