What To Say When We Don't Know What To Say - Funeral Sermon

Contributed by Duane Wente on Jun 30, 2021

When someone passes away unexpectedly, we often are left without knowing what to say. Through the story of Lazarus' death, we can see some things we can say when we do not know what to say.

“What to Say When You Don’t Know What to Say” Introduction There are not many times when I am left speechless. I’m often told that I have a tendency to not be quiet and listen — that I actually talk too much. When I first heard of Debbie’s passing, however, I found myself without words to say. ...read more

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 20, 2018

Why Believe The Good News Of Easter

Contributed by Paul Sizemore on Sep 28, 2016

Our Easter joy is not always immediate. It certainly wasn't immediate for Jesus' first disciples either. Even the empty tomb and the angel's proclamation left them bewildered. It was in remembering Jesus' own words that the Spirit brought them to faith.

“Why Believe the Good News of Easter,” Luke 24:1-12, Easter Sunday, March 27, 2016 Brothers and sisters, you probably know that this coming Friday is “April Fools’ Day;” a day that is always celebrated every year on the first day of April. It’s a day, when ...read more

He Lifts Me Up

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025

God’s mercy lifts us from resentment into freedom; forgiveness is not forgetting the wrong—it’s releasing it to the One who heals

1 — The Wound That Wouldn’t Heal It’s me, O Lord, standing in the need of prayer. That’s how this message begins—not with triumph but with honesty. Because forgiveness never starts from strength; it starts from brokenness. Maybe you know that kind of breaking. Someone walked away, someone lied, ...read more

Perils Of Petting

Contributed by James Groce on Jun 15, 2002

Petting breaks down the will and destroys self-control. It stirs a desire that petting itself cannot satisfy. Petting is not an end in itself but is preparatory.

We love personality and personality must be learned, admired and ...read more
