What does it mean to “live with the end in mind”? In this week’s message—Living with Death in Mind—we explore a hopeful, biblical view of death and resurrection from 1 Thessalonians 4 and 1 Corinthians 15. Scripture teaches that death is the result of sin and is inevitable, yet it is not the end of existence. For those who belong to Jesus, death becomes the doorway out of a fallen body and the way we are ushered by angels into His presence (2 Cor. 5:8; Luke 16:22).

We also clarify common questions: Where are our loved ones who died in Christ? What does “the dead in Christ will rise first” mean? How do our future, resurrected bodies mirror Jesus’ post-resurrection life—recognizable, physical, and imperishable? This message offers six anchor truths that help us grieve with hope and live today in light of eternity.

If you’re seeking comfort after loss or clarity about heaven, the rapture, and the resurrection, this teaching will ground you in God’s Word and point you to living fully for Christ now. NewHope Church serves the Triangle—Durham, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill—and online each week.
