Life After Death - What Happens Next?

What this episode covers

In this opening episode of our series on eschatology—also known as the study of end times—we explore one of humanity’s deepest questions: What happens after we die? This lesson dives into the difference between facts and theories when it comes to eternal life, judgment, and resurrection. We look at what scripture clearly teaches—such as the reality of Judgment Day and the Resurrection—versus what is speculated, like the nature of the soul’s immortality and the specifics of heaven and hell. You’ll hear a breakdown of the resurrection body—what it will be like, how it mirrors Jesus’, and why it matters. Then we tackle a debated topic: soul sleep vs. the intermediate state—do we rest until the resurrection, or is there a conscious experience with Christ after death? We also redefine eternal life, not just as living forever, but as knowing God through Christ, as seen in John 17:3. Finally, we close on a hopeful note: that our true hope lies not in this life, but in what is to come.
