The document discusses what is required to enter heaven. It says that it is difficult for rich people to enter heaven and easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. While this seems impossible, Jesus says with God all things are possible. One must strive to enter the narrow gate, as many will seek to enter but not be able. Simply saying "Lord, Lord" is not enough; one must do the will of the Father. The key messages are to trust in Jesus over wealth, enter the narrow path, and do God's will to walk straight to heaven.

1. Walking Straight to Heaven
Luke 13:23-24

2. Matthew 19:23-26
Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Assuredly,
I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to
enter the kingdom of heaven. And again I
say to you, it is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle than for a rich
man to enter the kingdom of
God."

3. Matthew 19:23-26
When His disciples heard it, they were
greatly astonished, saying, "Who then can
be saved?" But Jesus looked at them and
said to them, "With men this is impossible,
but with God all things are possible."

4. Luke 13:23-24
Then one said to Him, "Lord, are
there few who are saved?" And He
said to them, "Strive to enter through
the narrow gate, for many, I say to you,
will seek to enter and will not be able.

5. Matthew 7:21-23
"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord,
Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven,
but
he who does the will of My Father in
heaven. Many will say to Me in that day,
'Lord, Lord,

6. Matthew 7:21-23
…have we not prophesied in Your
name, cast out demons in Your name,
and done many wonders in Your
name?' And then I will declare to them,
'I never knew you; depart from Me, you
who practice lawlessness!'

7. Matthew 19:23-26
Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Assuredly, I
say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter
the kingdom of heaven. And again I say to you,
it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of
a needle than for a rich man to
enter the kingdom of God."

8. # 1 DON’T

fortune
trust Jesus!

10. And what do you benefit if you
gain the whole world but lose
your own soul? Is anything worth
more than your soul?
Mat. 16:26

11. #2 Strive to
enter through
the narrow
gate

12. Luke 13:23-24
Then one said to Him, "Lord, are
there few who are saved?" And He
said to them, "Strive to enter through the

13. Easy might appear nice from
a distance, but when there’s
too much ease in life, there
will be less opportunities for
growth, success and
fulfillment.

14. Many things in striving to live the Christian life
are in fact extremely difficult to accomplish but
very much worth the effort!

18.  Because we want
comfort
 We value freedom
 We don’t want to wait!

22. # 3 Do the
Fathers will!

23. Matthew 7:21
"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord,
Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven,
but he who does the will of My
Father in heaven.

24. For this is the will of my Father, that
EVERYONE WHO SEES THE SON AND
BELIEVES IN HIM should have eternal life; and I
will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:40

26. Dear brothers and sisters, pattern your
lives after mine, and learn from those
who follow our example.
Phil. 3:17

27. FIND US FAITHFUL
We're pilgrims on the journey
Of the narrow road
And those who've gone before us line the way
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary
Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining
grace

28. FIND US FAITHFUL
Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses
Let us run the race not only for the prize
But as those who've gone before us
Let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on through
godly lives

29. CHORUS:
Oh! may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

30. After all our hopes and dreams have come
and gone
And our children sift through all we've left
behind
May the clues that they discover and the
memories they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the
we each must find

31. “Oh may all who come behind
us find us faithful….”

32. Heaven is a long way…..it takes
a lot PREPARATION to be there!

33. Walking Straight to Heaven
1. Don’t trust your fortune trust Jesus!
2. Enter the narrow road
3. Do the Fathers will!
