    Is there life after death? Death and dying are an inevitable part of human life. We are all going to die? But will we all live again? What do philosophers and religion say about life after death? What does the Bible tell us?

    What Happens When We Die? Job 14:14 “If a man dies will he live again?” Is this all there is to life? What happens when we die? If we die is that it? Are we simply absorbed into the cosmos?

    To accomplish the task of evangelising our world, we must work as though our congregation was new. New churches have a vibrancy that can be lost as we grow older. In time, if we don't take care, we will have an "inherited church" rather than a vibrant, living congregation.
