Ready #6: Our Blessed Hope

About the Message

Dr. Stephen G. Tan | 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

Is there hope beyond death? Paul reminds us in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 that for those who placed their trust in Jesus Christ, the answer is a resounding yes. We don’t grieve like those without hope because Jesus' resurrection secures our own. One day we will see each other again, and we'll be given new bodies and live forever with the Lord.

 

If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about the afterlife, needed comfort in times of loss, or simply want a fresh perspective on eternity, this message is for you.
