Membership Not Required Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Nov 21, 2013

Rest For Today And Forever

Contributed by Christopher Martin on Mar 15, 2008

I preached this at my grandmother’s funeral. She was 88 and althogh her health had been declining, her death was very sudden. Her last request of me was to officiate at her funeral, which I did and was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my ministry.

While we knew that Grandma wasn’t in the best of health, and had some past health issues a little over 4 years ago, none of us thought that we’d be ...read more
