3. The Death of Death (Philippians 1:20-26)
Our culture tries to deny death, distracting ourselves so we don’t have to face the fact that one day… we’re all going to die. That’s why Paul’s words in Philippians are so remarkable. He celebrates dying! How could he say this? In this message on Philippians 1:20-26, Michael Bouterse, Thrive’s local director, looks at what the Bible says about Heaven, Hell, and why Christians can approach death with joy and not fear.
Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this message include 2 Timothy 1:10; 1 Corinthians 15:20-24, 50; Revelation 6:9; 21:1-4, 22-27; 22:1-2; Genesis 4:17-24; 11:1-9; 13:10; 2 Corinthians 5:6, 8; Matthew 25:41, 46; and Mark 9:43-48.
