What happens after death? Is the afterlife really real? Is the afterlife just a myth or fantasy? What does the Bible say? What do Biblical scholars believe?

Pastor David Fleming reminds us of Paul’s letter to the church at Corinth (Chapter 15). The people were very curious about the afterlife. Could Paul give them the answers they were searching for?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What Should the Resurrection Mean to Us Now? 1 Corinthians 15:19-20; 41-42; and 54-58

“You are not a hermit crab!” Pastor Fleming exclaims. Listen to find out why! Your appearance doesn’t change when you get saved, but your attitude and personality should. Has yours?

Randy Alcorn wrote in his book, “Heaven”:  “Conversion does not mean eliminating the old, but transforming it.” WOW! Read that again! Are you simply eliminating your old self, or are your transforming?

Final Thoughts: Always keep a fork in your pocket!

Pastor Fleming asks this question: “Since Jesus was raised from the dead, shouldn’t we live as if we will live forever?”

AS Christ was raised, so shall we.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Is the Resurrection Real? 1 Corinthians 15:13-19

“You cannot dismiss the resurrection and keep Christianity, salvation, forgiveness, healing, new life, and hope for the future” Pastor Fleming states passionately. Presbyterian Pastor and hymn writer Alfred Henry Ackley wrote “He Lives! (I Serve a Risen Savior)”.  Listen as Pastor Fleming and the congregation sing a portion of this beloved hymn.

How Does God Raise a Truly Dead Body? 1 Corinthians 15:35-38

Pastor Fleming says: “It’s miraculous, of course!” Many people say they believe in the resurrection, but they don’t believe they will have a body in the resurrection. What’s the difference? What do you believe? Scripture Reference: Luke 24:39 If God can create the universe from nothing, isn’t it possible that he can raise someone from the dead?

Is the Resurrection Real? 1 Corinthians 15:13-19

“Without the resurrection, we have nothing,” Pastor Fleming says. Acts 17… Why did the people mock Paul? What was his response? The resurrection is real, but is it also relevant?

This week, Pastor David Fleming will be teaching about Jesus’s own thoughts about resurrection and the afterlife.

Scripture Reference: John 11:2-48

Questions/Issues Discussed:

QUESTION: Would you refuse help if you were drowning? Well, you ARE drowning – in your sin! Why don’t we let Jesus help us out of the water?

WHAT DID JESUS BELIEVE/TEACH ABOUT THE RESURRECTION AND THE AFTERLIFE?

3. Grief is still a part of the process. John 11:28-37

Death, no matter the circumstances, is still devastating.
What are “professional mourners”? Was that even a real thing?

Shortest verse in the Bible: John 11:35 “Jesus wept.”

Do you ever criticize God when your requests aren’t answered the way you expect them to be answered?

Mary and Martha didn’t question Jesus’ ability; they questioned his lack of availability.

4. Jesus has power over death and the grave. John 11:38-44

Was Lazarus really dead? Tune in on Friday for Pastor Fleming’s conclusion.

This week, Pastor David Fleming will be teaching about Jesus’s own thoughts about resurrection and the afterlife.

Scripture Reference: John 11:2-48

Questions/Issues Discussed:

WHAT DID JESUS BELIEVE/TEACH ABOUT THE RESURRECTION AND THE AFTERLIFE?

2. It matters in what – in whom – we believe in. John 11:17-37

Would Lazarus have died if Jesus had gone to him immediately? Pastor Fleming says: “That’s not the point!” Listen as he explains…

Why does it matter WHO we believe in? Again, Pastor Fleming offers a terrific perspective: “You can believe a lie, but that doesn’t make it the truth.” Is a resurrection really possible? Why did God resurrect Jesus?

QUESTION: Would you refuse help if you were drowning? Well, you ARE drowning – in your sin! Why don’t we let Jesus help us out of the water?

Tune in tomorrow as Pastor Fleming continues with this illustration.

Day 3

Pastor David Fleming begins a new sermon series this week on the Afterlife.

What happens after death? Is the afterlife really real? Is the afterlife just a myth or fantasy? What does the Bible say? What do Biblical scholars believe?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Meet Dr. Gary Habermas!!! He is a world-renown historian, philosopher, and Christian apologetics author. He is also a Distinguished Research Professor of Apologetics and Philosophy at the Rawlings School of Divinity at Liberty University. Pastor Fleming “interviews” him today…

QUESTIONS FOR DR. HABERMAS:

Is there historical proof of the resurrection?

Who was Pinchas Lapide? A Jewish theologian and Israeli historian who wrote “The Resurrection of Jesus: A Jewish Perspective”.  But... “what if”? Dr. Habermas loves to gives speeches at college campuses! Listen to his reason why!

What is CS Lewis’s “argument from desire”?

Again… are “near death” experience real?

What is “transcendent joy”? Dr. Habermas says: “What we really need, really exists.”

What is Dr. Habermas’ “go-to” argument concerning the resurrection?
