What Is Life

In the message this morning, I will try to answer one of life’s most important questions. What is life or what is this life all about? I am sure most of us at some time have asked ourselves questions such as, why was I born? Why am I here? What is the purpose of life? Is this all there is to life?

I. Definition of Life 1. The dictionary says: a. Life is the union of soul and body. That's not 100% true because the word of God says man is made up of body, soul, and spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12 b. Life is the period between birth and death. This is not true.

Laying The Groundwork Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

One of the most novel debates in the history of Christianity was that over the question of whether or not Adam and Eve had a navel.
