     | 2,237 views

    While the Rapture is delayed everyone must reach the gates of death. What are those last days, hours, minutes like? We look at that, and questions around death. For Christians, the Lord Jesus provides the road through death into His presence FOREVER MORE.

    WHEN WE ARE AT THE POINT OF DEATH – THE CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE [1]. THE INTRODUCTION – THOUGHTS NEARING DEATH I would estimate very few want to face death, but for the committed Christians, they are prepared and happy to, because they know the truth of the verses - {{2Corinthians 5:7-8 “for we ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 17, 2021
     | 2,833 views

    This sermon focuses on the interesting comment that Simeon makes that, having seen the Messiah, he is now ready to die in peace. What would it take for us to die in peace?

    READY TO GO? What would make you say, “Now I can die in peace”? - I ask this question in the half-joking way that we usually use this phrase.
