Why Do We Need To Talk About Death?


Listen Later

Join us for the first episode of our new devotional series on eternity, heaven, hell, and judgment. Pastor Mike explores why it's crucial for Christians to contemplate these often-avoided topics.

Key points:

  • Introducing a new sermon series focused on the afterlife and eternity
  • The importance of addressing challenging topics like death, judgment, and hell
  • How understanding eternity transforms our perspective on Scripture (e.g., the Sermon on the Mount)
  • Observations from 25+ years of pastoral experience with death and dying
  • The changing attitudes towards death in modern society, especially in medical contexts
  • Contrasting modern avoidance of death with early Christian martyrs' readiness
  • Biblical encouragement to reflect on our mortality (Psalm 39:4, Philippians 1:21)
  • Startling statistics on death rates and our universal mortality
  • The opportunity for Christians to find hope in the face of death through Christ
  • A call to set our minds on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God

Join us for this thought-provoking series as we explore what it means to live in light of eternity. Don't forget to subscribe and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes!
