What is Heaven Like? A Trip to Heaven and Back | 2 Corinthians 12:1-6

About this episode

Pastor Brandon Scroggins explores the biblical understanding of heaven through the Apostle Paul's account in 2 Corinthians 12:1-6.

What is heaven really like? Can it be described? In this expositional sermon from 2 Corinthians 12:1–6, Pastor Brandon Scroggins walks through the Apostle Paul’s rare and mysterious account of being “caught up to the third heaven.” While many today claim visions and experiences, Paul’s response is striking—he refuses to boast and instead points us to the sufficiency of God’s Word and the humility produced by true encounters with divine glory. This sermon challenges us to think biblically about heaven, eternity, and how a heavenly perspective shapes our lives right now. Rather than chasing subjective experiences, we are called to fix our eyes on Christ and live in light of the glory to come.
