In this bible study, we look at how mental and emotional struggles are not evidence of weaker faith.

In this episode, we explore what happens after death and why the Christian hope goes beyond simply “going to heaven.” Scripture gives believers the comfort of being with Christ after death, but it points us toward an even greater hope: bodily resurrection and everlasting life with God in His renewed creation. Through the resurrection of Jesus, we see that death does not have the final word. God’s plan is not to abandon His creation or our bodies, but to redeem, restore, and raise His people to new life. This hope gives us confidence in the face of death and reminds us that what God has begun in Christ will one day be made complete.

In this episode, we explore the true shape of the Christian hope. While heaven is often described simply as where believers go after death, Scripture tells a much bigger story. The biblical hope ultimately points toward resurrection, the renewal of creation, and God dwelling fully with His people. From Jesus’ resurrection to the promise of a new heaven and new earth, we discover that Christianity is not ultimately about escaping creation, but about God redeeming and restoring it. And this future hope changes how we live today—giving us courage in suffering, purpose in the present, and confidence that death, sin, and brokenness will not have the final word.

The objective of this study was to examine and review the historical evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus. This study looked at and questioned preconceived notions about the Resurrection and discussed its importance. Listen in and learn about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Led by: Jolius B.

As Jesus closes the Sermon on the Mount, He leaves us with a decision. Two roads. Two kinds of fruit. Two foundations. But only one way leads to life. Jesus reminds us that following Him is more than saying the right things or simply hearing His words—it’s allowing His teaching to shape the way we actually live. The question isn’t just “Do I know what Jesus said?” It’s “Am I building my life on it?” Join us as we conclude what it means to live as citizens of God’s kingdom. Dive deep into Matthew 5-7 and explore the teachings of Jesus given to us on the mount.

Jesus now turns from outward religious practices to the everyday realities of life. He shows what greater righteousness looks like in how we handle our possessions, our worries, and our relationships. Instead of being ruled by money, anxiety, or judgment, disciples are called to trust the Father's care, love others with wisdom and grace, and live by the principle of treating others as they would want to be treated Join us as we discover what it means to live as citizens of God’s kingdom. Dive deep into Matthew 5-7 and explore the teachings of Jesus given to us on the mount.
