In Genesis 2, we see the first mention of 'death' in the Bible. But what does it mean? Is it the material life we know passing away, or is it so much more? Jac Munson expounds on this concept of death by talking about the word 'nephesh,' a Hebrew term that encapsulates the entire essence of life, and how Jesus will one day restore us to a complete nephesh because of His resurrection.

The Heidelberg Catechism is a document of teachings that focuses on theological principles that we get from Scripture, and is a series of questions and answers that focus on the faith. In the first question and answer, it asks us, "What is your only comfort in life and in death?" Pastor Jon opens up this new series by answering that question, reminding us that our only hope in anything we experience, both in life and in death, is in Jesus Christ.

In Acts 8, there is a moment when Philip has a monumental encounter with an Ethiopian eunuch, and this encounter changes his life. The eunuch believes and is immediately baptized. As we continue to follow Jesus today, what is our approach to evangelizing in our culture to those around us? Pastor Jon looks at this account and challenges us to have the boldness of Philip by loving Jesus and sharing His good news with those around us.

As Paul concludes this letter to the church, he gives them a strong warning to withdraw from living idle lives and to avoid the brothers who were walking in idleness. In his final prompt, he tells them to "not grow weary in doing good," knowing that the example that they were to set was to follow the example that Paul set while he was with them.

What is our purpose in life? In this chapter of 2 Thessalonians, Pastor Jon looks at the text through the lens of that question as Paul gives further insight into this man of lawlessness who is to come and how we are to stand firm.
