Our hope is that Jesus Christ was bodily raised from the dead and that those who belong to Him will also be raised.If this teaching encourages you to seek Christ above worldly gain, consider joining our community for deeper Bible study and discussion.https://www.skool.com/estero-ekklesia-1658Support the Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2394920/support Support the show
