    More Than Can Be Measured By The Clock

    Funeral Service for a 4 year old child, who was buried in a Natural Burial Site, after a long battle with an agressive cancer.

    When a child dies, we are inclined to say “What a pity he was taken before he was ripe and able to bear fruit”. We speak of promise rather than actual achievement. This would be quite unfair to XXXXXX. We don’t speak in the same way of a new blade of wheat: we appreciate it for what it is – a ...read more

    Left Behind

    Funeral sermon presenting the Gospel message to family and friends left behind by one whose spiritual condition is either "unknown" or was known to be "unsaved".

    There is no social gathering that tugs at our heartstrings the way that a memorial service does. Something about being left behind stirs our emotions and brings a profound sense of loneliness to our hearts. In the twinkling of an eye, a loved one passed from life to afterlife, from temporal to ...read more

    This sermon is designed to encourage the believer that God has a purpose in saying no to his children.

    Have you ever asked your parents for something and they said no. Have you ever asked the teacher at school to allow you to do something and they said no. Have you ever asked God why did you allow my friend or loved one to go into a coma, and die. What did you do? Did you throw a temper tantrum, ...read more

    This funeral message had more of an evangelism focus.

    This message was written with evangelism in mind. The deceased had an uncertain connection with Jesus. Our church does not put the focus on the deceased but instead upon God’s promises, please keep that in mind as you read this message. God Bless. Funeral Message: Jerry ...read more

    Funeral sermon for those who seek to ask the infimous question "why?".

    I have the distinct privilege to take part in this occasion that honors the life of Uncle John. Upon hearing the news of Uncle John, Aunt Sue called me and asked me to do the funeral, and of course I said, “yes.” So on this past Monday I went to Aunt Janie’s house and talked with her. I our ...read more

    Jimmy’s Sermon Numbers 6:24-26 A few weeks ago I preached a sermon to our young people as they were preparing for school. I told the congregation then that even though this message was intended for the young people I hoped that they would listen very intently because there was sure to be a ...read more

    Taking Hold Of Contentment

    Funeral service for Dock Burgess, whose last day of life was a time of acceptance and calm. We can take hold of contentment by learning to receive, by investing in a relationship with God, and ultimately by accepting grace for life eternal.

    I am persuaded that the fundamental human problem is anxiety. I’ve watched the way we live for quite a while, and I am convinced that the most basic human issue is that we are anxious. We are fearful and afraid; we are anxious. And it is not just that we are afraid of what others may do to us. ...read more

     | 5,104 views

    Funeral sermon for Henry L. Stewart, local resident, known as an amateur artist. The images of the four living creatures in Revelation become metaphors for the stages of life.

    Some look at the earth, but never see the sky. Some see the sky, but never fly. But to some it is given to see and to fly. To some it is given to be an eagle, soaring with strength and power. But I must ask – do you know how empty the eagle is before he flies? From empty to eagle; do you know ...read more
