The Promise of Heaven Bible Study Guide: Why You Can Get Excited About Your Eternal Home
In The Promise of Heaven Study Guide, Dr. David Jeremiah will take you deeper into a biblical exploration of what heaven might actually be like and inspire you to anticipate the eternal life that awaits you.
Many of us feel an unfulfilled longing—a space within that cannot be satisfied with material possessions, experiences, or relationships. Only heaven will fulfill that longing, and the only way we can get there is through Jesus Christ.
Despite common portrayals that imagine heaven as boring or abstract, its reality offers far greater meaning and joy. Heaven is a real place where peace and belonging are guaranteed for those who have faith in Christ.
Thinking about eternity in this way will transform how you live today, give you hope in the midst of life’s challenges, encourage you to live with intention, and share God’s love with others—helping them find the same fulfillment that only Christ can give.

About the author
David Jeremiah
707 books968 followersDr. David Jeremiah, founder of Turning Point Radio and Television Ministries and senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church, felt God’s calling on his life at a very early age. Born February 13, 1941 in Toledo, Ohio, Dr. Jeremiah was raised in a family deeply committed to ministry. At the age of eleven, Dr. Jeremiah and his family moved to Dayton, Ohio where his father, Dr. James T. Jeremiah, was the Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church, and in 1953 became the President of Cedarville College in Cedarville, Ohio.
As Dr. Jeremiah was sensitive to God’s leading in his life, he followed in his father’s footsteps. In 1963, Dr. Jeremiah received a Bachelor of Arts from Cedarville College. In that same year, Dr. Jeremiah married his college sweetheart, Donna Thompson who also was attending Cedarville College as a business major. He went on to earn a Masters degree in Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1967. He completed additional graduate work at Grace University and was granted the Doctor of Divinity degree from Cedarville College in 1981.
In 1969, Dr. Jeremiah began Blackhawk Baptist Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and developed a Christian school grades K through 12. In the 12 years he served as pastor, Blackhawk Baptist Church grew from 7 families to 1300 members. He also launched The Bible Hour television program.
Dr. Jeremiah heeded God’s call, and in 1981 he and his family moved to California where he became the senior pastor of Scott Memorial Baptist Church, now Shadow Mountain Community Church.
Shadow Mountain Community Church is one of the largest churches in San Diego County. It is also the home of Southern California Seminary and Christian Unified Schools.
As Dr. Jeremiah began his ministry at Shadow Mountain, he felt God’s calling to continue the broadcast ministry he started in Fort Wayne. In 1982, Turning Point Ministries became a reality.
Today, Turning Point's 30-minute radio program is heard nationally and internationally on over 1800 stations and translator/satellators. In recognition of Dr. Jeremiah’s commitment to teaching the Word of God, he received the Broadcaster of the Year Award in 1999 from the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), in August 2002, received the Award of Merit from the Western Chapter of National Religious Broadcasters for Excellence in Broadcasting and Faithfulness in Service, and in 2006 Turning Point received the Best Radio Teaching Program Award. Dr. Jeremiah has served on the Board of Directors for the NRB since 1996.
Turning Point launched a television program in 1982 in San Diego and went nationwide in 2000. Now seen around the world through cable and satellite technology, as well as on terrestrial stations all across the United States, conservative estimates suggest that close to 200 million homes around the world have access to Dr. Jeremiah's Bible teaching each week. Turning Point Television offers a half-hour Bible study message and a full hour worship service with the same great preaching. Carried on several national and international networks such as TBN, ION, and INSP, Turning Point Television has most recently been added to Middle East TV Network and BET, the Black Entertainment Network.
Dr. Jeremiah is a sought-after conference speaker for organizations around the country. He frequently speaks at Cedarville College, Dallas Theological Seminary, Moody Bible Institute, Billy Graham Training Center, Phil Waldrep’s Senior Adult Celebrations and numerous NFL, NBA and Baseball chapels.
Along with his speaking schedule around the country, Dr. Jeremiah also finds time to fulfill another passion in his life, writing. His books are always gripping and right to the point. Some of his books include Escape the Coming Night, The Power of Encouragement, What the Bible Says About Angels, Prayer The Great Adventure, which brought him The Gold Medallion Award in 1998, God In You, Gifts from God

What a wonderful perspective on the miracle of the Heaven Creation. It was the first thing God Created, the "Heavens" and the Earth, and those of us Blessed to be The Called will all experience it soon; not because of anything we have done, but because what has already been accomplished by Jesus Christ. see you there!

Heaven gets a close study in this eleven-lesson companion guide. Each lesson pairs Scripture outlines with application questions and short Did You Know notes for personal or small-group study. Its clarity and warmth stand out with only the wish for more depth in places. You'd enjoy this if you're working through the companion book or leading a group discussion.

A deep dive into scripture allows a vivid picture of what to expect if you’re a believer in Christ…and if you’re not.
