🌤️ WHO GETS IN?
Big Idea: Heaven isn’t for perfect people—it’s for forgiven people.
In Part 3 of our Heaven & Hell series, Pastor Drew tackles one of the most common—and most misunderstood—questions about eternity: Who actually gets into heaven? This message breaks down the myth that “good people go to heaven,” and replaces it with the radical, grace-filled truth of the Gospel.
📖 Scriptures Covered:
Romans 3:10, 23 – “All have sinned…”
Luke 23:39–43 – Jesus and the thief on the cross
John 3:16–17 – God’s love, not condemnation
2 Corinthians 5:20–21 – Jesus became sin so we could become righteous
1 Corinthians 15:1–7 – The Gospel is of first importance
💡 This Week’s Big Idea:
Heaven isn’t for perfect people. It’s for forgiven people.

🧭 Common Assumptions Challenged:
❌ “I’m a good person.”
❌ “Good people go to heaven.”
