Their Spirit Is Doing Great (Resurrection Handbook – Part 15)
Length: 8 Minutes
It’s always God’s will to give life to people. Thanks to Jesus, raising the dead is as simple as waking someone from sleep. That’s excellent news, but we should also know: Even while a believer’s body is still sleeping, their spirit has never been better! They have only changed locations.

Waking From Sleep (Resurrection Handbook – Part 14)
Length: 8 Minutes
As long as there is someone on this earth believing, as long as there’s someone in the situation full of the life of God, that person that “died,” is in fact not dead, but merely sleeping.

Definitive Proof We Can Raise The Dead (Resurrection Handbook – Part 13)
Length: 8 Minutes
We’ve already been over many scriptural proofs, but for anyone who believes scripture, this is the simplest and most profound proof that physical resurrection is a part of our inheritance.

Normalizing What’s Normal (Resurrection Handbook – Part 12)
Length: 6 Minutes
Because of what Jesus provided, raising the dead back to life is nothing extraordinary or unusual. You don’t need a “special anointing” to see it in your life. You just need to have a clear idea of what you have in Christ.

Death Is Not God’s Solution To Suffering (Resurrection Handbook – Part 11)
Length: 9 Minutes
Paul was someone who suffered quite a lot for the gospel’s sake, but even he acknowledged that Jesus had fixed this, and the death and hurt he suffered was based on his own lack of knowledge (as is always the case – 2 Cor. 4:12, 2 Tim. 1:10, Rom. 8:6). But regarding the relief of his suffering and pain, he said these famous words:

Finishing The Race (Resurrection Handbook – Part 10)
Length: 7 Minutes
Paul said that he “finished his race.” So, doesn’t that imply that there comes a time when we’re supposed to die because our life is finished? Well, it would imply that, if the “race” he was speaking of was referring to his life, but that’s not the way the Bible defines the word “race” at all.

God’s Not Appointing “A Time” For People To Die (Resurrection Handbook – Part 9)
Length: 9 Minutes
When someone dies, people say that it was God’s “time” for them to die. Not only is that untrue, but God is trying to do quite the opposite. He’s trying to cause people to live (Romans 8:11). And you would think that would be less controversial than it is.

God’s Not “Calling People Home” (Resurrection Handbook – Part 8)
Length: 6 Minutes
When someone dies, the church tells us that the Lord “called them home” or, “It was their time.” If, when people die, it is simply because the Lord called them home at their appointed time, then why did Jesus routinely raise people back up from the dead in His earthly ministry? For that matter, why has God been raising people from the dead since the Old Testament?

Someday In The Future? (Resurrection Handbook – Part 7)
Length: 5 Minutes
Just about every Christian believes in immortality and in the resurrection of the dead, but many, if not most, see these things as something that is reserved for Jesus’ second coming, or for heaven someday. Of course, they believe that God has the ability to raise the dead now, but in their mind, this is more the exception to the rule than anything. What they don’t realize is, Martha thought this exact same way, but Jesus corrected her.
