Psalms Series #6 - Hell and the Grave in the Psalms
Pastor Terry M. Ferrell   E-mail Terry
Greenville Church of God, 217 White Oak Road, Greenville, SC 29605
A word study of "hell" is a revealing and important subject.  The word translated "hell" has a very different
meaning now than when it was written.  As we explore, we see that it always has to do with a state of death.  
Is there fire and burning there?  Is there judgment in hell?  What do the Psalms, and the Bible, really teach?  
Find out the meaningful answers today.

Paradise
Paul Rankin
Church of God, Faith of Abraham   Cashmere, Washington
Paradise was created perfectly by the simple word of God.  But it only took one sin to lose the paradise God
had created and come under the curse, separated from God.  Jesus came to reverse the curse.  Through
his life, we see a glimpse of the restoration that is coming as we look ahead to the complete restoration
that will be fulfilled when he returns.
In My Father's House, There are Many Mansions...
Pastor Jim Shaull   E-mail Jim
In today's text, we examine one of the greatest, but most misunderstood, scriptures in all of the Bible.  What
is the passage trying to say to us?  As we look at the meaning behind the words themselves, we discover
the treasure hidden under all of the tradition.  Find out the meaningful truth today.

Our Fathers Who Aren't In Heaven
Steve Taylor with Anthony Buzzard
Pastor Steve interviews Anthony about one of his authored books as they discuss the Bible teachings on the
Kingdom of God as compared with the teachings of traditional orthodoxy.
Paradise Lost, Paradise Gained
Kenneth Milne
What is "paradise?"  Is it synonymous with "heaven?"  When man sinned and was driven out of the Garden,
was paradise lost forever?  What was the central theme of the ministry of Jesus?  Did Jesus enter paradise
the day he died?  And what exactly is the "third heaven?"  Find out the truth from God's word today.

Baptism and the Thief on the Cross
Z.B. Duncan   11-28-1984
Water baptism is an outward confession of faith for the remission of sins that was commanded by Jesus.  
But is the thief on the cross proof that immersion is not necessary, or is there evidence that indicates
otherwise?  Did the thief even die that day?  Is there enough to base our doctrine off of this one verse?

The Bible Truth Radio Broadcast: "What Does the Bible Teach About Hell? - Part Two"    
Z.B. Duncan   
 12-9-1984
Did you know there are 4 different words translated as "hell" in our Bible?  Why did Bible translators not
translate it the same way each time?  What happens there?  Where is it?  What goes down there?  Is there
conscious suffering in flames of fire?  What does conventional theology teach? What does the Bible really
teach about "hell?"  As we continue our study, we examine "Gehenna" and hell-fire.

The Bible Truth Radio Broadcast: "What Does the Bible Teach About Heaven?"    11-4-1984
Z.B. Duncan
Because many people have been pressured by the world's philosophies, the truth of what the Bible teaches
is sometimes pushed off into the background.  What does the Bible really teach and have to say about
"going to heaven?"  What did Jesus say?  What's the truth?  Will the kingdom be coming, or will we be
going?  When and where will man be rewarded?

The Bible Truth Radio Broadcast: "The Rich Man and Lazarus"
Z.B. Duncan
Does man have a conscious, separate existence outside of this world after death?  Many think so, and they
point to the verses in this parable to prove it.  But is the evidence really there?  And if we take this parable
as literally true, what else do we have to believe?  In today's study, Pastor Duncan looks deeper into the
misconceptions, additions, and insertions that have been added into the story Jesus told.

The Open Bible Pulpit: 7 Statements from the Cross: Promise of Paradise
Pastor Chuck Jones  E-mail Chuck    Visit Chuck's blog
Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California
Attaching ourselves to what appears to be a losing team isn't the popular way to go. (Ask any Detroit Lions
fan). Sometimes we find our commitment wavering when things get difficult.  But one thief chose to be on
Jesus' side, even though it looked bleak for his cause.
Luke 23:39-43

The Egg Heads Get Beat
Pastor Wally Winner     E-mail Wally     Acts 17:16-18,32
Joy Fellowship Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith  
In this series on the book of Acts, we're examining the church of the first-century Christians and what we
can learn from this dedicated fellowship of believers today.  In today's message, we once again find Paul
encountering the false teachings of the world.  Everyone wants to know what happens when we die.   Is
there life after this?  There have been so many ideas, but the Bible tells us of our hope...but are you ready
for the answer?
If A Man Dies, Shall He Live Again?
Pastor Scott Ross    E-mail Scott
Jaynes Street Community Church of God  Omaha, Nebraska
Birth. Life. Death.  Is that it?  Is there life after death?  Is there something more and greater to come?  What
does the Bible say?  What
is "eternal" life?  When will that life be?  What is man's hope?  In today's
message, we examine one of life's most asked - and most misunderstood - questions.  In Job's
desperation, he speaks of a "change."  And that change is the hope that sustains us.  And knowing
that
change causes us to
change.
Job 14:1,13,14; John 3:16; Matthew 28:20; Mark 10:29,30; Hebrews 11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18;
