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.

How Simeon Had Peace At His Death Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 17, 2021

This sermon focuses on the interesting comment that Simeon makes that, having seen the Messiah, he is now ready to die in peace. What would it take for us to die in peace?

READY TO GO? What would make you say, “Now I can die in peace”? - I ask this question in the half-joking way that we usually use this phrase.

Hating Your Life Series

Contributed by Glenn Durham on Sep 17, 2008

God glorifies the Messiah through death both to give life to his people and to honor those that die.

Scripture Introduction John’s way of telling the story of Messiah has provided many opportunities to focus on him both as prophet (the very Word of God in human flesh) and as priest (the sacrifice for the sins of the people). In today’s text, Christ as King is the focus. 500 years ...read more

The Harsh Reality And Unavoidable Issue Of Sin

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Oct 13, 2021

Modern society more and more makes very little of or does not even bother to think about sin as a serious and destructive fact of life. There are varying attitudes towards the subject of sin. Some view the idea as an illusion, the construction of ancient religious fanatics, or fantasy. Many deny ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 8, 2025

Adam and Eve had no concept, then, of what a curse would be in reality; what labour pains would be in childbirth; or what hard work and toil would involve in practice. They were condemned and expelled. Jesus was condemned for us and now – justification and pardon.
