This funeral sermon is aimed at comforting believers as they mourn the loss of a precious daughter.
On behalf of the family of _______ I wish to thank each one of you for being here today. Despite the immense difficulty of today, we have the promises found in the Scriptures to cling to. We gather here today under the loving gaze of our Creator. We are here to find comfort, to seek wisdom, and to share in the fellowship of faith during our time of grief.

Jesus said "Don’t let your hearts be troubled." We are troubled when we don’t know what is going to happen when we die, but Jesus has taken the fear out of dying. He has conquered the grave and death so there needs to be no fear in our eternal future.
Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore.- Revelation 1:17-18
Do you know what the good news is this evening? Death had no Christ on Him nor does it have a hold on us. Because Christ conquered death there should be no fear for the Christian because through Christ we also conquer death.
We are troubled when we view death as an end instead of a beginning.
For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.- 2 Corinthians 5:1

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying ... View this full PRO sermon free with PRO
