About
Garrett Bookout continues exploring the Bible’s teaching on our eternal home. Moving beyond the introductory contrast of views, the lessons will examine the rich biblical hope of bodily resurrection and life on a gloriously renewed earth where God Himself dwells with His people.
Drawing heavily from Genesis, Isaiah, Romans 8, 1 Corinthians 15, 1 Thessalonians 4, and Revelation 21–22, the class will present heaven not as an escape from the physical world but as its redemption and perfection. Participants can expect thoughtful study on what our resurrection bodies will be like, what daily existence in eternity will involve, and how the curse of Genesis 3 is ultimately reversed. The series aims to deepen our longing for eternity while making the hope of heaven more tangible, relational, and thrilling.

In the second class of the “Heaven” series (May 10, 2026), Garrett Bookout teaches on **Resurrection in the Old Testament**. He explains that the belief in a future bodily resurrection was already well-established among many first-century Jews (especially the Pharisees) before Jesus ever taught on it. Drawing from the Old Testament, Garrett shows that God has power over life and death, that He raised people in the time of Elijah and Elisha, and that the prophets (Ezekiel 37, Isaiah 26, Daniel 12) gave Israel a clear hope of dead bodies being physically raised from the dust/graves to new life. He emphasizes that resurrection in Scripture is not merely “going to heaven as a spirit,” but the re-embodiment and glorification of God’s people.MAY 10, 2026Resurrection in the Old Testament - Class #2Garrett Bookout -
