Paradise: What Happens When I Die?
WEEK 2 · Sept 20 · 2 Corinthians 5:1–10 · Romans 8:28
We die once and leave this “tent” of a body behind. Believers are immediately at home with the Lord, and because of the cross, we can face Jesus' judgment without fear.
Get ready for Sunday (10–20 minutes)
- Grown-ups: read Chapter 2 of the book ahead of Sunday, or the Study Book chapter if you're in a City Group.
- With your kids: read Kids' Edition Chapter 2 or Comic Issue 2 together on Saturday.
- On Sunday: kids follow along in big church with the kids listening guide, then dig deeper in cityKIDS.
- After Sunday: talk it over together (in the car, at bedtime or anytime), play the week's game, and practice the memory verse.
