Where is the true center of faith? Not in cathedrals, temples, or even Jerusalem’s stones—but in heaven itself. Join us as we uncover Christ’s ministry in the heavenly sanctuary, His intercession for you, and the love that transforms lives. Discover why true hope is not on earth, but in Christ above.

So, where is the true center of faith?

Many believe it rests in sacred places—cathedrals, temples, or even the stones of old Jerusalem. Yet the Bible tells a different story. The real center of faith is not on earth at all. It is in heaven, where Christ Himself ministers for us.

This episode takes you on a journey through Scripture and the writings of Sister White, peeling back centuries of assumptions to uncover the heavenly reality that shapes salvation. We explore the words of Hebrews: “For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us” (Hebrews 9:24, KJV). No longer is our hope tied to earthly cities or human traditions. Our High Priest serves in the sanctuary above, standing before God on our behalf.

Along the way, you’ll hear how this ministry transforms lives. Christ is not idle in heaven—He is refining character, lifting prayers, and preparing a people for eternity. As Sister White explained: “Our Saviour is in the sanctuary pleading in our behalf” (Fundamentals of Christian Education, p. 370, 1923). Every prayer you offer mingles with His holiness, carried by His blood into the throne room of grace.

But this discovery comes with a twist. Why do so many still cling to earthly Jerusalem as though holiness can be found in stones and streets? Jesus’ words to the Samaritan woman still echo: “The hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father” (John 4:21, KJV). Paul reminds us that “our conversation is in heaven” (Philippians 3:20, KJV). Faith is not strengthened by pilgrimages, but by trusting Christ’s ongoing intercession.

So what does readiness really look like? It looks like transformation—hearts made righteous, lives shaped by love, hope anchored in the promise of a new heaven and a new earth. Isaiah declared, “Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever” (Isaiah 60:21, KJV). Sister White warned that prophecy is rapidly fulfilling and God’s people must prepare. Love drives this preparation, for Christ’s intercession is fueled by grace, mercy, and a love that reaches every corner of the world.

This episode will challenge where you place your hope. Is it bound to traditions and earthly sites? Or is it anchored in Christ, the true High Priest, who ministers even now in the heavenly sanctuary? His ministry is the true center, His intercession the true hope, and His love the true power.

Come and discover what it means to fix your eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen… not on earth, but in heaven. And now you know… the truth the Spirit has made known.
