Death and Resurrection, Earth and Heaven: Bodily Life in the Old and New Creation (6 Sessions)

Loved ones pass away. Celebrity memorials are televised. Wills are drafted, funerals are planned, and cemetery plots are purchased. Eventually, we will all die. Yet, despite this constant awareness of death, we fear it. Dread it. Seek to avoid it at all costs. Death is an unfortunate reality we all must face-but a reality we need not fear. Christ has conquered death; it has no hold over us. We belong to Him. In death, Christ becomes our all in all as we live forever in communion with Him. In light of this promise that is sealed in our Baptism, we can live this impermanent life as an act of bold confession, trust, and hope. This six-session Bible study invites you to consider death in light of the promises of Christ, examining the role the physical body plays in life and death, the experience of dying, and the nature of the new creation and our resurrected bodies.
