Death on SermonAudio

Having enjoyed the Lord's Supper, we must go on from here living for Christ. When death comes, it will be heaven and therefore gain. Meanwhile, there are two possibilities – to go to the joy of heaven or to labour on here for the good of men and women. God leaves us here to labour on as real Christians serving our fellowman.

Many young people live their life as if they will live forever and never think about the reality of death and the fact that one day they will stand before the Lord Jesus Christ and give an account for how they lived their life.

Everybody will eventually have to face the reality of death and most are afraid of death, however, the Lord Jesus Christ can set you free from death by His sacrificial death which gives eternal life.

The devil thinks he has overcome the world, however, the conquering Jesus has conquered both death and the devil and has defeated the devil through His Crucifixion and Resurrection.

Without God, there is no true peace in this world of death & dying. With God, there is peace at times when it seems there could be none. Part of having peace for now comes in having peace about eternity. Peace about eternity comes in knowing God saves by grace.

This sermon explores the theological significance of Jesus' final words, "It is finished," as a declaration of completed atonement rather than mere exhaustion.

By a...

This sermon explores the theological significance of baptism by examining its typological connections to the creation, the flood, and the Exodus.

The preacher highlights...

The message...

The text connects this prophetic pr...
