What's Happening
MIDWEEK BIBLE STUDY
Wednesdays, 11:00 a.m., Chapel and 6:00 p.m., Social Hall
We all have questions about death and the life beyond. Despite the strong assurance the Bible gives us about life beyond the grave, Christians are often troubled by many questions related to death. What will happen on the day of judgment? Will we have bodies in heaven? Will there be rewards in heaven? Will we recognize and truly know our loved ones? During this semester, Pastor David (and several other Dawson Ministry Staff members) will shed light on these questions and many more as we look to God’s word to see what the Bible teaches about dying, death, and life beyond the grave.
