Sermon by Father Bob Wismer - November 9, 2025

Getting Heaven into Us

In this sermon, Father Bob Wismer offer a theological discussion focusing on the concept of heaven and the Kingdom of God, drawing from various biblical narratives and popular cultural references. He uses quiz questions about songs referencing heaven and a joke about St. Peter at the pearly gates to introduce the topic, emphasizing that while people speculate about heaven, the Christian focus should shift from simply getting into heaven to realizing the Kingdom of God on earth. Hecritically examines the views of the Sadducees, who did not believe in the resurrection, and asserts that following the Lord's Prayer means working to align life on earth with God's will as it is in heaven. Father Bob argues that the Christian mission is to be a channel for God's grace and power in the world, believing that by bringing "heaven into us," one is fulfilling the path to eternal life.
