The Three R's Of Death
Contributed by David Gant on Dec 31, 2005
This is a funeral service I have used several times, most recently in the situation where I doubted the salvation of the individual, and the family was mixed with believers and unbelivers. It is a way to honor the individual, but still present the gospel
THE “3 R’S OF DEATH” In school, we used to refer to the importance of learning “The 3 R’s” – and of course we meant “Read’n, writ’n, and rithmatic…” As we gather here today – not to mourn the death of Wayne Thompson, but rather to celebrate his life and all it has meant to those that have ...read more

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jan 23, 2026

Five Smooth Stones
Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 23, 2026
Psalm 27 is a Psalm David wrote that reflected the kind of man that he was and the kind of God that he served. What can we learn from this Psalm about being a man or woman who serves our God?
David wrote the 27th Psalm - and it’s a Psalm about how to face conflicts in life. It’s a Psalm about relying on God. A Psalm of HOPE. A Psalm of FAITH. And when I read this Psalm, it can kind of reminded ME of David facing Goliath. The psalm reflected David’s mindset when he went out to face the ...read more
