1. Where Are the Dead?

2. A Great Question Questioning the afterlife: What happens at death?
Godly people have asked about it (Job 14:14)
Many man-made theories exist; we are interested only in the divine truth

3. A Great Concern
Many do not realize that their present determines their future
They procrastinate (Acts 24:25). Why? Because it’s far off into the future

4. Two Views You cease to exist Forever (atheists, Sadducees, etc.)
For a time (J.W.s, etc.)

5. Two Views You continue to exist Come back to this life (Buddhism, etc)
Do not come back
Go straight to your reward
Await your reward (biblical truth)
