When An End Is Not The End – Theology of Death & Afterlife
July 1, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm SMT
Date: 1 July 2023 (Saturday)
Time: 9.00 am to 12.00 pm
Speaker: Bishop Emeritus Dr Robert Solomon
Venue: CMC, Level 2, Sanctuary
What happens when someone dies? Amid various ideas about the afterlife, it is necessary to take a look at what the Bible actually teaches about it and how it sheds light on issues such as the intermediate state, resurrection, second coming of Jesus, judgment, and heaven and hell. This knowledge should inspire and motivate us to live here on earth in such a way that it prepares us for the hereafter. Forethought is necessary to be prepared for the afterlife. We will each meet with our own death sooner or later, and to know how to die well will help us to live well in Christ.

A Series of Talks on Death, Loss and Grief.
What happens when someone dies?
Is it wrong for Christians to fear death?
How do we pray difficult prayers?
How do we deal with loss and grief?
Are we prepared when the inevitable happens?
The subject of death can be difficult and even frightening for some. It is an inevitable part of life yet poorly understood and rarely talked about, especially in our Asian culture. The Christian faith, however, has something distinctive and hopeful to offer. Come and hear from spiritual leaders and medical professionals as they speak on death, loss, and grief. Be equipped to face the inevitable and to lend support to others. Knowing what the Bible teaches about these topics should also motivate us to live today in preparation for the hereafter.
