    In death we rest with the assurance that our Lord will stay with us when we pass and with our loved one’s still on earth.

    Luke 24:29 Stay With Us 04/25/03 (Spouse’s name), it was but about 3 weeks ago that I first shared this story of our Lord’s resurrection with you and (name).

    Funeral sermon for Ruth Gossage, age 97, one of the first female U.S. Secret Service agents.

    But we speak God’s wisdom, secret and hidden, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. Life is mystery. It is not just that life contains mystery, nor that there are so many unsolved questions. It is that life itself is mystery, secret and hidden, as Paul says. It has often been ...read more

    Funeral service for Marcia Jean Tucker, single mother and immigration officer.

    Our third-grade teacher was very concerned about our posture. Day after day she would command her students to watch their posture. “Sit with your back straight and your feet flat on the floor; don’t slump in your seat.” “Stand erect, with your weight equally distributed on both feet; ...read more

    The Final Frontier

    I preached this message at the going home celebration of a 92 year old christian man. I took the title from a star trek movie.

    Into: the birth of man marks the beginning of a journey. The Bible describes man’s life on earth as a vapour, a passing shadow, as a cloud consumed and vanished away. Life is also described as swifter than the shuttle of a weavers loom. The Word of God, tells us, there is a time to be born: a time ...read more

It is a song that helps us remember that Christ cleans our souls with His blood and allows us to reach our ...read more

    Funeral sermon for Vera Byars, court information specialist and amateur dancer. Ballroom, minuet/ballet, tap -- whatever style she used, it all witnessed to a life of joy. This is not any longer a time to mourn.

    I agree with the Scripture, where it says that, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” I agree with that, because we know that some things are fine, in their place, but they are not appropriate in other places. There is a time and a season for everything, ...read more

    Funeral message for a Christian lady who died of cancer.

    The scripture was read earlier: “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” I heard this verse preached as a funeral message many years ago, when a friend of mine lost her mother far too soon to cancer as well. And the verse has always appealed to me, because it’s such a great statement of ...read more

    A funeral message - Jesus tells of the peace he offers, the place he prepares, and the path to take.

    As I talked with Glenda and Janice about their mother, Madge, one theme came up over and over – Madge’s love for people, most especially her family, and her hospitality brought people together. I heard of family gatherings at her house, her cooking, and her unshakeable positive outlook on life and ...read more
