All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. 18 I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me. 19 And who knows whether ...read more

    Death separates us from someone we love and oftentimes causes pain of grief! This sermon helps us understand Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's stages of grief and biblical's response to them.
