    We are all one moment away from death. It’s a moment that could change our lives forever.

    Introduction: What a scary thought! One moment you’re on earth with a lot of money and stuff and the next moment you’re in a place of torment crying for a drop of water to cool your tongue. Or on the other hand you’re on earth broke as the “Ten Commandments” and the next moment you’re in a place ...read more

     | 11,978 views

    What we believe about death and resurrection affects more of our lives than we think. This is a controversial subject, but it needs to be discussed and understood. Why is this important and what actually happens when we die, according to the bible?

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Jun 30, 2021
     | 13,778 views

    When someone passes away unexpectedly, we often are left without knowing what to say. Through the story of Lazarus' death, we can see some things we can say when we do not know what to say.

    “What to Say When You Don’t Know What to Say” Introduction There are not many times when I am left speechless. I’m often told that I have a tendency to not be quiet and listen — that I actually talk too much. When I first heard of Debbie’s passing, however, I found myself without words to say. ...read more

    But, for the ones who belong to Jesus …God promised us a new body….and calls it glorified. One that will always keep its beauty and strength and last forever.

    New Body 1 Corinthians 15 Sept 21 Hollywood tries to preserve the body and its beauty by facelifts…tummy tucks….sewed in hair…filled in lips…taking out veins….putting teeth in…reconstructing everything but, in the end….the results is all the same from the ...read more

     | 6,826 views

    How do we interpret death? Is it a sign of God's love or hate? How do we put God in the picture? this sermon answers the question.

    March 18, 2012 John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is ...read more

    You are dying. How then, can you live forever? Is there a way out of dying?

    Numbers 21:4-9: How to Live when You're Dying Have you ever gone to church and you looked at the bulletin and you thought to yourself, I don't think this sermon is really going to apply to me.

    This sermon deals with the dark valleys we encounter in life, various aspects about these valleys, and how we successfully navigate through them.

    Funeral for George Hafele Today we gather to celebrate the life and future of Mr. George Hafele. Times like these are never fun.

    Mortality

    Contributed by Brien Sims on Jan 16, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,096 views

    This story is about someone who fears death because they don’t know what’s next, someone who says they know Christ but fears death, and someone who lived for Christ and knows where they are headed.

    How often do we as humans think about our mortality? Generally something has to jog our brains a bit before we being to really contemplate the seriousness of life and death. Maybe we see a horrific accident on the news, a national disaster such as hurricane Katrina, or even now an act of terror ...read more

    This is a generic model for a funeral message for someone who died after struggling with an illness, using the autobiography of Morrie Schwartz who died of ALS to craft the message.

    MESSAGE FOR A MEMORIAL OR FUNERAL SERVICE ___________________________ I’ve been in a funk for a couple of weeks now. But I think I’m coming out of it now. Strange that I could say that on the occasion for which we have come together here. It all started a couple of weeks ago as I anticipated ...read more

     | 165 views

    Such tragedy in Judah but who can help? The broken walls weep. Hunger is everywhere. Women turn to cannibalism. Everyone is badly affected. Jeremiah asks, “Why has the LORD done this to us?” In fact it is sin that is reaping its sowing. The nation was corrupt.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 11 – THE WALLS ARE BROKEN AND SADNESS AND TRAGEDY ARE WIDESPREAD – JEREMIAH QUESTIONS GOD - CHAPTER 2:18-20 We continue the description of the state of the survivors from the Babylonian invasion and Jeremiah’s communication to them.

    The sad result of our sin as seen by God.

    Introduction: When you think of a loaded wagon in scripture, what text do you think of? Personally, I can not help but to think of the David in Psalms 68:19 (Psalm 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.)
