    Eulogy for Derro "Smitty" Smith, a faithful church organist. Sermon can be easily adapted to encourage continued Chritian service.

    Psalm 137:1-6 “By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the ...read more

    WHAT YOU COULD HAVE DONE BEFORE THE TRAGEDY.

    MOURNING LIFE 2 SAMUEL 12:19-20 David noticed that his servants were whispering among themselves and he realized the child was dead. “Is the child dead?” he asked. “Yes” they replied “he is dead.” Then David got up from the ground.

    Funeral sermon for Richard Dean Lewis, a young man who had a great deal of potential, and whose death caused his family to rethink their relationships.

    There is no binding so tight as the one we wind for ourselves. Others may strap you into a seat or use restraints on your hospital bed, but those are never so confining as the bindings with which we confine ourselves. For the bindings we use on ourselves are generally so snug that we cannot ...read more

    The death of a child is not a waste for he is a blessing from the Lord, a reward from him (This is the message I preached in a funeral service for a young boy who died of a lingering sickness).

    Honestly, I find it hard to speak in a funeral service. I am aware that words are not enough to fully comfort the family. I’m at a loss for words because I have kids also. I find the task harder because tonight we are holding a funeral service for an 8-year-old boy, Justyn [Name changed to protect ...read more

    Graveside Service

     | 115,277 views

    This is a brief graveside service I prepared for a person I was not familiar with. This is a short and simple, but respectful ceremony. Although it is simple and short, it does have some nice touches.

    Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die.” I want to encourage you, as we gather together this afternoon, to remember that God is our refuge and our strength. We are ...read more

    Memorial service message for James M. Wright, volunteer for a Florida Shriners Hospital. Focus on the welcoming of children meaning the welcoming of Jesus.

    Images cross our television screens, and we turn away instinctively. Photos jump out at us from the newspaper, and we quickly turn the page. Brochures from charities arrive in our mail, and almost automatically we pitch them in the recycle bin. All because the media continue to show pictures of ...read more

    Funeral Sermon: It Is God Who Makes The Future Possible

    Contributed by Richard Schwedes on Nov 9, 2008
    based on 11 ratings
     | 9,205 views

    Our future relies on what Jesus has done for us. This funeral sermon is for someone who many would consider had weak faith, but who had faith in Jesus and relied on God’s forgiveness

    I have a question for you to think about… Where or what do you gain comfort from? What do you rely on for your future? Some people put their trust in money. And recently they have been hugely disappointed. Others in having a good time. Some in friends. Some on themselves or their way of doing ...read more

    And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened ... And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. [Revelation 20: 12-15] Is your name written in the ’Lambs Book of Life?’ Let us find out?

    Message ~ Funeral for Kenneth Jensen [December 1, 2008] Promises for a Believer Illustration: Ben Johnson easily outran Carl Lewis in the 100 meter dash.

    This is a powerful message of Hope following the tragic, unexpected death of a 16 year old girl named Amanda. Her death sent the entire community into shock. There was almost 600 people present and many students. The message was very well received.

    A funeral sermon for a 71 year old man who passed away just a few weeks after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. I was at his bedside as he took his last breath and based my message on the liturgical canticle the "Nunc Dimmitus" which I sung at his beds

    Sermon Text: “Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.” Just a few short months ago, I ...read more

    This is a Christian mother and wife of 53 years who loved serving the Lord especially as an usher. She truly served well.

    Eulogy Bernice Simmons 2/14/2008 There is a song that tells the story behind the smile you often saw on Bernice Simmons’ face.

    This was a graveside service for a longtime member of our church who died after a long illness.

    Graveside Service Read obituary That was the obituary we read in the paper this week for Bob, but I think we all know that there was much more to him than could be summed up in a couple of paragraphs in the paper. Sometimes it might have been hard to find out some of those things from him. Bob ...read more

    This funeral message was for the adult daughter of a lady from my Church. The Mother is a committed Christian, but the deceased’s commitment to Christ was uncertain, and I never met her. This message might be used for either a Believer or a Non-Christian

    Your Comforting Shepherd --Psalm 23:1-6 (Text: Verse 4) I have a clergy brother who testifies that he never has preached from the book of Psalms.
