Sermons About Death
The Church of Thyratira: Revelation 2:18-28
In America, most of us have not been physically threatened for our faith. However, like the church at Thyratira, I would argue that most of our greatest temptations to compromise stem from either economic or social pressures. The church today is radically tempted to compromise by valuing the same things that the culture around us values. We serve a God who calls us to consider everything rubbish in order that we might gain Christ and be found in him. We cannot cling to the values of this world and still hold fast to the righteousness of our savior. Jesus offers us himself. Jesus calls us live lives of repentance, constantly letting go of our sin and clinging to his blood, shed on the cross for our sin, to forgive us and give us his perfect righteousness.

Supernatural Life
The gospel transforms more than just our worldview and religious affiliation; in it God brings us out of death and brings us to our fullest life possible beyond our life circumstances. The Holy Spirit empowers us to a life liberated from the bondage of sin to live out God's unbreakable love for us in Jesus Christ

The Hope of Life
In Part 7 of the Garden and the Gospel, Pastor Jeremy takes us through Genesis 3:16-20 to show us how, even in the midst of this fallen and sinful world, the word of God gives us the hope of life in our homes, in our work, in our death, and in our future.

We Study to Be Equipped
Certain things in life are inevitable. Every year at this time we are forced into a time change. For some it is inevitable that sleep will be disrupted for a while – yet that is minor. Death is another part of life on earth that is inevitable – but it is not minor. No matter how long we have to “prepare” for the death of someone we know…it is not enough. Nothing can prepare us for no longer being able to say “hello” to someone, or being unable to feel a familiar touch. How should a Christian handle death? What does this passage in 1 Thessalonians have to say about the issue? What does this passage in 1 Thessalonians not say?
