My Weird Bible: Week 5 | Brent Cunningham

Series: WNC

February 11, 2026 | Brent Cunningham

Wednesday night community is back! Join us for My Weird Bible, 11 weeks on the passages that finally make sense.

My Weird Bible will explore some of the strangest, most confusing, and often misunderstood passages in Scripture. By digging into the historical, cultural, and biblical context behind these stories, the series helps make sense of what can feel weird or unsettling—and shows how even the most unusual parts of the Bible reveal God’s character and invite us into deeper faith.

Week 5: When Jesus Descended to the Dead Part 2: Where You Go Now and What’s Still Coming

KEY TERMS

PARADISE – "Wherever Jesus is." Used three times in the NT for three different locations (Abraham's bosom, heaven, New Creation)

THE INTERMEDIATE STATE – The period between death and resurrection when believers are consciously with Christ in heaven (without resurrection bodies yet)

RESURRECTION BODY – The glorified, imperishable physical body believers will receive when Christ returns (1 Cor 15)

THE NEW CREATION – The renewed heaven and earth where resurrected believers will live physically with God forever (Rev 21-22)

GEHENNA / LAKE OF FIRE / HELL – The final place of eternal judgment, prepared for the devil and his angels (Mt 25:41)

SOUL SLEEP – The false belief that the dead are unconscious until the resurrection. The Bible teaches believers are immediately conscious with Christ (2 Cor 5:8)
