The Death Of Death

From Despair To Hope

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 8, 2025

Funerals are some of the hardest moments of our lives. We come with tears, with memories, with aching hearts. Death feels final. We feel the empty chair at the table. We hear the silence where laughter once rang. We even catch the scent of a shirt still hanging in the closet, and it all reminds us ...read more

Awake In Gethsemane

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 13, 2026

Jesus’ agony in Gethsemane reveals the cost of salvation and shows that Easter hope rests on His obedience, not ours.
