HEAVEN,
THE SOUL, AND THE AFTERLIFE
RENEWAL SCHOOL OF MINISTRY
You may have
heard it said that some people are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly
good. But turn this on its head and we
see that some people are so earthly minded that they are no heavenly good. In
this class we will focus on a Christian understanding of heavenly-mindedness, and hope in, life
after death.
We will
respond to questions like these.
What happens
to us when we die?
What will
the afterlife be like?
How does the
Bible describe the afterlife?
Why is it
important to understand that you have a soul?
How can we
know that persons have souls?
Will we be
with our loved ones in eternity?
What will we
do for all eternity?
How does
belief in everlasting life inform how we now live on earth?
This is a
four-week class. Monday nights. 8-9 PM EST. Begins Monday, Sept. 16, 2024. (9/16, 9/23, 9/30, 10/7)
Class
sessions will be both in person at Redeemer Church in Monroe, Michigan, and
live-zoomed.
Registration
begins in August. $10 for the four class sessions.
