Kingdom of Heaven

We should go to church to sing praises to the Lord, pray for others to be of the Spirit and for healings. Then we are to go out and live our life doing what Jesus said to do which is following Him. Our hope is to live in the kingdom of heaven, and we will if we follow what Jesus said to do.
