Hope Beyond Death

Join us tomorrow at CCF as Pastor Pat starts a brand new series called, Holy Habits. This series is all about developing the classic spiritual disciplines that lead to a fuller, deeper spiritual experience. Is there a friend or family member that God brings to your mind who this sermon series would help? Why not invite them to church!

The righteous hath hope in his death. (Proverbs 14:32)

Billy Graham wrote:

We don’t like to talk about death; it’s the forbidden subject of our generation. Yet it’s real for all of us. Sometimes on television I see motion pictures featuring actors who are no longer living. They seem very much alive in the picture, but they are dead. Some of them were my personal friends. Death is real, and when we die, that is a battle we have to fight all alone. Nobody can be with us in that hour, but David said he had found an answer that would take the fear of death away. David said that there is an answer to death, there is a hope beyond death. That hope is centered in the risen Christ. Paul wrote that to be “absent from the body” is to be “present with the Lord.” So the fear of death is removed.

Prayer for the day
Lord Jesus, with complete trust I look toward that day when my soul will be with You for eternity.
