The sermon (given months before Bob died of cancer) exhorts listeners to live by faith now, to confess they are strangers on earth seeking a heavenly country, to reject complacency, to “get their house in order” spiritually, and to press on in love and joy even as life grows short. It’s a poignant reminder that death is inevitable for all, but for those united to Christ it marks the doorway to a reality far greater than anything this world can offer.
