Dedicated To The Men of God Who Preach the Word of God As It
Is To Men As They Are
"Preach The Word"
After This
( A Funeral Sermon)
Introduction: There is something about death that seems to be so final but it is really not the end–it is only the beginning of a glorious future with God in bliss and delight, or else the beginning of torment and suffering forever in a place called hell. The Bible calls the saints of God "pilgrims and strangers" in this present life.
There is a "hereafter" and where we are in that "hereafter depends upon whether or not Christ is our Lord and Savior in the present life. Everyone should know of a definite time when he or she met the Lord Jesus Christ in the free pardon and forgiveness of sins.
What waits ahead for your departed, saved loved one? I am going to briefly share several things with you.
