1. Beyond Death’s Door
What Happens At Death
Matthew 17:1-4

2. Death And The Physical Body
At the time of conception, God put our spirits in our bodies - Numbers 27:16; Ecclesiastes 3:21, 12:6-7; Zechariah 12:1; Hebrews 12:9
Death does not end the existence of the body, but it does terminate the life of the body - Genesis 3:19; Ecclesiastes 12:7
Death is a result of sin
We cannot have both at the same time - Philippians 1:20
We're talking about Physical life - Acts 17:25
We're talking about Physical death - Matthew 20:18

3. Death And The Soul And Spirit
Do the soul and the spirit die with the body dies? - Matthew 10:28
The soul and spirit leave the body at death
We conclude at death the body dies but the soul and spirit do not!
The rich fool was told - Luke 12:20
When Jesus died - Luke 23:46
The soul of the widow's son returned when he was brought back to life - 1 Kings 17:21-22
Rachel's soul did not die with her body - Genesis 35:18
Jesus' soul was not buried with His body - Psalms 16:8-11; Acts 2:29-31

4. Death And The Assurance Of Life
Assurance of life after death is importance to us
Assurance comes from the O.T. -Deuteronomy 32:39; Psalms 17:15; Ecclesiastes 12:7; Isaiah 26:19
Assurance comes from the N.T.
We should have a greater understanding and appreciation for life after death - 2 Timothy 1:10
Eternal life is one of the major themes of Jesus' teaching - John 6:54, 6:28, 6:25, 6:2-3
The resurrection of Jesus gives us proof of life after death
John 11:25; 1 Corinthians 15:20-22

5. Conclusion:
We know that when we experience the event called death, we will not walk into extinction, but into life.
When we pass through death's door, the soul and spirit depart for the body and the hadean realm. The body returns to the ground from whence it came.
Beyond Death's Door there is life!
