From Grave to Glory: A Four-Week Study on Death, Hope, and the Return of Christ by Matthew Allen
What happens when we die? Grief and uncertainty leave many people afraid to ask. This four-week study faces the question with Scripture and anchors real hope in the return of Christ.
From Grave to Glory: A Four-Week Study on Death, Hope, and the Return of Christ is a small group study by Matthew Allen. It uses the Christian Standard Bible and is built for 60–75 minute meetings.
How This Study Helps
Death touches every family, yet many Christians have never studied what the Bible says about it. Some carry fear, others carry confusion from popular ideas and speculation. Grieving people especially need clear answers they can hold on to.
Across four sessions, this study helps you face death with faith, learn what Scripture says about where we go when we die, anchor your hope in the resurrection and Christ's return, and practice living with eternity in view. It stays simple and biblical, so groups leave comforted and ready to serve.
What's Inside
Each session includes clear CSB passages, plain teaching, discussion and reflection questions, a guided note page for students, a weekly action step, a memory verse, and a closing prayer. Downloadable leader notes and student handouts are included.
