To Be Absent is to Be Present

Death is not the end—it’s a doorway to eternity for those in Christ. In this four-week series, we will explore what Scripture teaches about life, death and the hope that anchors our souls beyond the grave. From Paul’s bold confidence in the face of death to the promise of resurrection and reunion, we will learn how to live and grieve with unshakable faith.
