What Is Life

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 14, 2021

In the message this morning, I will try to answer one of life’s most important questions. What is life or what is this life all about? I am sure most of us at some time have asked ourselves questions such as, why was I born? Why am I here? What is the purpose of life? Is this all there is to life?

That's not 100% true because the word of God says man is made up of body, soul, and spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12 b. Life is the period between birth and death. This is not true. The Bible ...read more

The Eagle Life Series
