    I Am The Resurrection And The Life

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Mar 15, 2020
     | 4,279 views

    This text is often quoted and preached from at funerals to encourage us.

    I AM the Resurrection and the Life: An Exposition of John 11:1-45 John’s gospel is a dramatic portrayal of the person of Jesus whereas truth is portrayed in extended story and narrative. This does not mean that John avoids propositional truth, but even these propositional truths are illustrated by ...read more

    No one should tell us when to Praise and when to Bless God. We need to learn how to Bless the Lord on purpose. I heard someone call it a Premeditated Praise.

    Dr. Wayne A. Lawson Antioch Institutional Baptist Church Oklahoma City, OK RevWLawson@aol.com Preached, Sunday, September 13, 2009 (I take no credit for the originality of this Sermon – originally delivered by Pastor Marvin Wiley) TITLE: I WILL BLESS THE LORD SCRIPTURE: PSALM 34:1-3 1I will ...read more

    If we are to have a successful relationship with God, we must spend time getting to know him.

    Matthew 5:13-16 Salt and Light Witnessing There are two things that we value that seem so small but are part of our survival. We either complain because we have too much of these two things or we want more of them. One is hardly seen. Yet if you have too little of it you can taste ...read more

    The Three R's Of Death

    Contributed by David Gant on Dec 31, 2005

     | 236,491 views

    This is a funeral service I have used several times, most recently in the situation where I doubted the salvation of the individual, and the family was mixed with believers and unbelivers. It is a way to honor the individual, but still present the gospel

    THE “3 R’S OF DEATH” In school, we used to refer to the importance of learning “The 3 R’s” – and of course we meant “Read’n, writ’n, and rithmatic…” As we gather here today – not to mourn the death of Wayne Thompson, but rather to celebrate his life and all it has meant to those that have ...read more

    The Word Of The Cross

     | 3,822 views

    Funeral message for Mrs. Athelstein Coleman, whose hobby was working crossword puzzles: a play on "crossword" to say that the "word of the cross" means wisdom and strength.

    It's not only what people do that interests me; it's also why they do it. When I see someone doing something over and over again, I want to know what that behavior means. If there is a pattern in someone's behavior, what does that pattern mean? Often you find that people do what they do, even ...read more

    FBC Gaithersburg: funeral for Julia McNeely Vance, centenarian, physician, daughter of Irish Baptists. Text and poem requested by family. Julia's commitments, nurtured early, brought her into an unusual life. Not delivered by me because of illness.

    That classically Irish face looks out at me from the printed page, and I wonder what it must have been like for Julia McNeely, born a century ago, to have grown up and to have followed her calling. On one side were all the customs and expectations of her day and time … that women would live ...read more

    The thing that really strikes me about Genesis 25 is a clear reference to the HEREAFTER.

    Genesis 25:7-10 - HEREAFTER Last night I watched a video called "HEREAFTER" with Matt Damon. It is a movie about people grappling with what happens to them after they die. Matt Damon plays the part of a reluctant Psychic who connects with people who have died by touching the hands of relatives. He ...read more

    An encouraging Funeral message for my earthly brother age 57 in passing. Can be modified to fit any situation as true hope to the living.

    A little girl lived near a cemetery, and often had to walk through it after dark. When someone asked her, “Aren’t you ever afraid?”, she answered, “Oh, no! My home is just on the other side.” The best way for me to begin this sermon today, is to ask the question; ...read more

    This is a funeral/memorial meditation for the memorial service of a man who died after a life of struggle.

    Memorial Meditation – October 17, 2009 - Psalm 23 I love this passage of Scripture because it speaks of life’s most important and most intimate relationship, that of humanity, of you and me, to our Creator. And rather than use terms like Creator, Almighty One, even the term “God” itself, the ...read more

    Trick Or Treat?

    AJ was born on Halloween and described as a "Treat" according to his mother (or so he said). He passed away with a heart attack after shoveling snow. He was a real people person and leaves a huge gap in the lives of people who knew him.

    Family Enters and is Seated Be with Me Lord I Stand in Awe Welcome by Perry Greene We were all shocked to hear of the passing of AJ Clements. We have gathered here, as is our custom, to conduct a service to remember AJ; to comfort his family; and ultimately honor God. 25 Jesus said to her, "I am ...read more
