Death and the Eternal Perspective

Ryan Lowery
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

Death is something people often don't want to think about, and regard it as the worst thing that can happen to you. But God's perspective is different, and He gives us the chance to have peace about our death if we accept His offer of a relationship. From this peace can flow purpose in this life, a freedom to give of ourselves, and hope that a better life is coming in heaven.

Living Hope

Ben Foust
1 Peter 1:1-12

Peter writes to Christians scattered throughout the Roman empire and facing persecution. He urges them to put their hope in their future eternal inheritance. Christians today should have a mindset of being "resident aliens" on earth, whose true citizenship is in heaven, resulting in a refined faith.

Our Temporary Residence

Chris Hearty
1 Peter 1:17-25

What if we view this life as our permanent residence? The Bible is clear that this life is only temporary. 1 Peter 1 details God's incredible motivating plan to help us align our hearts and minds with our true home in heaven and away from all of the distractions that so often entangle us. Which residence will we invest our lives in?\r\n

Easter/The Resurrection

Ben Foust
1 Corinthians 15:1-58

What it Means to be Human

Ryan Weingartner
Genesis 2:15-25

Genesis chapter 2 describes people as God created them to be: free will beings who delight in hard work, relationships, and the pursuit of knowledge. However, as a result of the fall, we experience a damaged version of this, but we have the hope that in heaven we will be restored to the fullness of all we were intended to be.

Exploring the Afterlife

Conrad Hilario
2 Corinthians 5:1-10

Unlike other religions, the Bible describes Heaven as a physical, earthly place, where we will have physical, resurrected bodies and meaningful experiences and relationships. This hope for the afterlife has several implications for how Christians live in this life.

Resurrection Bodies

Scott Risley
1 Corinthians 15:20-58

Being immersed in the Greek philosophies of Platonism and dualism, the Corinthian church had serious misconceptions of the afterlife, many of which persist for us today. Paul assures us that Heaven will be a real, physical place and that we will have physical resurrected bodies. It will not be otherworldly, but familiar, retaining all the best things about life here on Earth, including relationships, learning, memories, and travel.
