    "a Matter Of Life And Death"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Nov 3, 2020
     | 8,574 views

    In preparing for funeral services I will ask the question, do you have a scripture passage in mind that you would like for me to read or do you simply want me to select one? And over 90% of the time they will say yes, “Psalm 23.”

    “A Matter of Life and Death" Psalm 23:1-6 When we set out for Thanksgiving with our children it was 73 degrees here in Florida but as I flew to Memphis and then traveled to St Louis all in one day the temperature had dropped to 13 degrees.

    From Despair To Hope

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 8, 2025
     | 74 views

    Funerals today are often called celebrations of life. While we grieve, we also celebrate the hope that is ours through Christ. As Paul reminds us, we do not “grieve as others who have no hope,” for Jesus’ death and resurrection assures us of eternal life.

    Funerals are some of the hardest moments of our lives. We come with tears, with memories, with aching hearts. Death feels final. We feel the empty chair at the table. We hear the silence where laughter once rang. We even catch the scent of a shirt still hanging in the closet, and it all reminds us ...read more

    Bring Your Requests To God Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Aug 31, 2020
     | 3,844 views

    As we continue to discover the way that lament works, we discover that after turning to God, and bringing our complaints to God, the next step is to bring our requests to God. God wants to hear our bold requests.

    Funeral Sermon For The Loss Of A Young Child: "the Smallest Life, A Miracle" Series

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Jun 23, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,466 views

    The loss of a young child or infant is one of the most difficult experiences for any family to process. This funeral sermon is meant to communicate the inherent beauty and worth of even the most fleeting of lives.

    Words alone cannot comfort a grieving heart, because words cannot replace the ones we love. Even the most beautiful words are little things, here for only a moment, fleeting and often unnoticed. We live in a world filled with words, some shouted from rooftops and some whispered in a quiet room, yet ...read more
