Pastor Michael in conversation with Immanuel’s church Librarian, Janessa Driedger.

Joy Lan is new to Canada and a newcomer to our church family. We hope you’re encouraged by Joy’s story of coming to faith in Christ in China and experiencing His love at Immanuel.

What will we do in Heaven? We will learn, fellowship, work, and worship.
Three views of the nature of Hell are introduced and explored:1. Eternal Conscious Torment / Traditionalism2. Universalism3. Annihiliationism / Conditional Immortality / Terminal PunishmentEach view can be defended Biblically, but why does Pastor Michael think the third view may have the strongest Biblical case?
What will "Heaven on Earth" be like when all is said and done? A place of perfect peace, total holiness, and absolute beauty. The meaning behind the symbolic depictions of Revelation 21 & 22 is explored.
Jesus' coming judgment is a necessary part of His good and beautiful plan to completely eradicate all trace of sin and evil from Creation.

hereafter part 5: Wheat and Weeds: The Judgment of the World. Matthew 13.
When Christ returns, the first thing that will happen is the resurrection of the dead. What does the Bible have to say about this moment? Is 1 Thessalonians 4 describing the rapture or a welcoming party to receive Jesus to the earth? What will our new bodies be like in eternity?
Jesus is coming back - what does it mean to be ready? Can we know when it will take place? Is the popular idea of "the rapture of the church" even in the Bible? Pastor Michael surveys what the New Testament has to say about the future return of Jesus.
Pastor Michael sits down with Rev. Dr. Danny Zacharias (New Testament professor, Acadia Divinity College) to discuss:• Origins of the popular ‘futurist’ approach to the book and why it’s not the best way to handle the text.• How understanding the genres present in the book (letters, apocalyptic, prophecy) help us know how to interpret it correctly.• The timelessness of Revelation’s message.• How worship in the midst of great trial is a major feature of the book.• Why it’s significant that Jesus is presented in Revelation predominantly as a slaughtered lamb.• The ‘political’ themes in Revelation.• Recommended resources for further study.• And more!For anyone who has been taught that the book of Revelation presents a play by play of yet-to-happen events, this is a must-listen-to podcast!
What happens to the human soul between our death and our resurrection?
Isn't the message of Jesus that if we believe in Him we'll go to Heaven when we die? Actually, his message was more about Heaven coming here, and how we can be part of the Kingdom of God on Earth. In this introductory message to his teaching series on the afterlife and future events, Rev. Michael Fredericks helps us understand the grand narrative of Scripture and history, which is necessary to gain a truly Biblical perspective on Heaven and Hell and the future return of Christ.

hereafter: what the Bible says about life after death and what lies ahead Part One: Between Two Gardens (The History of Heaven)
Pastor Michael breaks down eight common reasons some Christians give for not being baptized. And it's not just about baptism!
Reading Hebrews, we can't miss this mysterious figure called Melchizedek. Is he human? something more? And why does it matter that Jesus is a priest like him?
Are there contradictions in the New Testament accounts of the life of Jesus? Author Greg Monette is our guest as we discuss why the Gospels tell stories differently and why we shouldn't lose sleep over it!
The Bible speaks very favourably about wine! Wine is a blessing from God to be enjoyed. But there are also some warnings. There are at least five times a Christian should not drink alcohol.
In response to a question from his Sabbath sermon, Pastor Michael teaches from Scripture why Christians are no longer obligated to keep any of the Old Covenant commandments (except for the ones Jesus repeated), because we are now under the Law of CHRIST. Scriptures referenced:Jeremiah 31:31-34Romans 7:6Galatians 3:23-252 Cor 3:6-11Hebrews 8:13Hebrews 10:11 Cor 9:20-21Galatians 6:2Matthew 22:37-40Galatians 5:14Colossians 2:16-17
Jesus was in agony and invited his closest friends into his suffering… but they fell asleep.
