Just a Nap

Jesus refers to death as sleep and that's a good way for Christians to view death. It's just a nap that you will wake from.

The Death Church

Pastor Don Moldstad compares the constant reminder of mortality to a "Death Church." We find hope in Jesus' resurrection, which brings us into the "Life Church." Through Christ, death is overcome, offering believers eternal life.

Historical Facts

Historically, even non-Christians acknowledge Jesus's existence and empty tomb. 1 Corinthians 15 explains death entered through Adam, our ancestor, but through Christ, a new lineage of life is offered. Believing in Jesus grafts us into this living lineage, ensuring our future resurrection like Christ, the firstfruit.

Arachnophobia

Arachnophobia, like the fear of death, is common, yet unwarranted for those with faith in Christ. As Paul's words to the Corinthians express, death's sting is negated by Jesus' sacrifice. Believers need not fear death; it's merely a passage to eternal life, a victory and hope through resurrection afforded by faith in Jesus.
