    A message comparing the horrifying attributes of hell to the wondrous goodness of heaven.

    I read a news article the other day that said over 50% of society believes in a heaven, but less than 40% believe in a hell.

    Happy are those who mourn. It just doesn’t sound right does it? So why is mourning a good thing? This sermon takes a look at three areas where mourning is a good thing and why.
