Our Resurrection

Contributed by Michael Trask on Apr 14, 2011

While our souls do indeed go to heaven when we die, this is by no means the end of it. The ultimate goal is the resurrection. This is what scripture teaches. Why has the church drifted from this teaching? This sermon seeks to answer that as well as

Sometimes, In these later years especially, I think that we Christians have spiritualized what we believe a little too much.

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 22, 2021
