Celebration of Life - Benjamin Parks Headley September 14, 1942 - May 17, 2026 This service honors the life of Benjamin Headley as a man whose existence was a living testament to faith, service, and unwavering love, rooted in a deep relationship with God and expressed through daily acts of compassion. Central to the message is the truth that while death brings sorrow and empty chairs, it is not the final word—Jesus, who wept at Lazarus's tomb, entered human suffering to conquer it, offering hope through His sacrifice and resurrection. The sermon calls listeners to reflect on their own spiritual condition, urging repentance and faith in Christ as the only foundation for enduring hope amid grief. Through personal memories, biblical reflection, and the power of worship, the gathering affirms that life lived in service to God and others becomes a prayer of praise, and that one day, all tears will be wiped away in the eternal presence of the Savior who left His throne to make a place for us.

A man asked me after a funeral, "Was he a believer?" I said, "I'm not sure, but he had the fruit of the Spirit." He said, "Tho you give $10,000 to the poor, that won't get you to heaven." He's right. But neither will belief get you there. Grace alone gets you to heaven.
