Jesus & The Last Days | Hope in a Shaking World

It’s a question baked in to the human condition. People have been asking it for millennia: “What happens after we die?” So many contemplate, speculate, postulate, and hyperventilate over the topic. Today, Pastor Greg Laurie simply extrapolates what God has already told us on the subject. Glad you’re along for A NEW BEGINNING as we pull back the curtain to see what’s waiting for us in eternity. Comforting insight, especially if you have loved ones already there.
