    A Short Funeral Meditation

    “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.” Webster’s defines metamorphoses (as in transformation) as a change of physical form or substance. I remember when I first observed the process of ...read more

    Funeral Sermon for an infant.

    Beyond the Death of Your Child On a number of occasions I’ve stood in situations similar to this. From the age of infants the same age to adult children who fell prey to addiction. I’ve never felt adequate to the moment. There are no right words that eliminate the pain. I have a theology that ...read more

    Funeral For "a Character"

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 26, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,882 views

    Charlie was an Army man who gave his life to Christ. He was also "a Character" - a little eccentric, and offbeat. Find out why he made it to heaven.

    One of my favorite books in the Bible is Ephesians. Paul wrote it as a letter to the church at Ephesus and the first chapter focused on how important that group of Christians was to God. But then, when you get to what we call Chapter 2, Paul gives them a reality check. (God tells us that once) ...read more

    Flora's Message

    based on 13 ratings
     | 4,326 views

    This is a very simple sermon written specifically for a lady in our church who passed away. But the message is a salvation message. I hope you may be able to use it to help you in writing a personal message about someone in your church.

    From the moment I walked through the door of Warrenton Wesleyan Church 16 months ago I knew there was something special about Flora. I will admit that I pride myself in trying to learn and remember names, but for some reason, and I have never admitted this, I have the hardest time remembering ...read more

     | 9,127 views

    Funeral message for Mrs. Julia Hamilton, the mother of several accomplished sons. A "lovely light" (of Millay’s poem) is one which reveals truth, shares light in the household, and looks to God as the author of all light.

    The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? ... I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. The Lord is my light – and on this dismal day, when outside the rain continues to fall, and ...read more

     | 8,143 views

    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

     | 4,032 views

    Funeral sermon for Michael Ellis, avid golfer and new believer. God has done definite things in Michael’s life, has provided a definite plan of salvation, and has given the definite gift of eternal life.

    I know almost nothing about the game of golf. I do know that Michael Ellis was an avid golfer. Even there in the hospice it seemed to comfort him to watch golf on television. I’m not sure he appreciated it when I compared looking TV golf to watching the grass grow. He laughed, but I’m not sure ...read more

    Funeral sermon for Doris Reynolds Parker, veteran teacher, civil rights worker, and mother, whose spirit of determination we can complete if we commit to justice, kindness and a walk with God.

    Perfection is difficult to come by! No matter how good something is, it is always possible to find flaws. It is always possible to discover imperfections. When I was in engineering school, I took a class in drafting. My professor’s claim to fame was that he could, without a compass, ...read more
