To Die is GainZZZ?

What does the Apostle Paul mean when he says "to die is gain"? In this powerful message from our series, An Invitation to Joy, we explore how understanding death biblically transforms the way we live today. Paul, writing from a Roman prison and facing possible execution, declares that death isn't the final word. Instead, he claims it's a doorway to gaining Christ's presence, permanence, and perfect fulfillment. We unpack why grief isn't a lack of faith but a sign of love, why the Bible calls death an enemy, and how Paul's shocking confidence in the face of death reveals what it means to live with real purpose. If you've ever wrestled with loss, grief, or wondered what makes Christianity more than just good advice, this message is for you.
