The Truth About Death
No matter what part of this planet you live on, how well you take care of your body, or how much money is in your bank account, there is no escaping death.
Sound a little depressing? Sure. But there’s still good news! Really, really good news.
For those who belong to Christ, we have a hope that’s beyond this world…
“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.”
Romans 8:11 NLT
Death is the greatest tool of our enemy, which is why Jesus came to defeat it. That’s why He became human, took the ultimate punishment, and put death in its rightful place—under the authority and dominion of God.

Death is not the end of the story. For all who belong to Christ, that is the really, really good news.

Matthew 10:19-20
What a relief! Sharing the Gospel can feel intimidating. There is risk involved. What if the right words don’t come? What if someone asks a question that’s hard to answer? Jesus knew those fears and promised His Spirit would help.
Sharing Jesus isn’t about trying to convince. It’s not about control or perfect words. It’s simply sharing your story of hope—hope that could change someone’s eternity.
The Holy Spirit still speaks through ordinary people. God knows the person you’re talking to. He knows their story, their questions, and their ...
