What Happens When We Die?

Sermon 1: Good Grief

May 5, 2024 • Pastor Mark Reynolds • Revelation 21:1–5

Give

What happens when we die? In this message, Pastor Mark explains that the Bible does offer a simple answer to this question but several different images that open space for us wrestle with difficult questions. After acknowledging that people have different interpretations of the Bible regarding the afterlife, he reminds us of two things that all Christians believe that provide comfort, hope, and assurance in the face of death.

Living Well & Dying Well

May 26, 2024 • Pastor Mark Reynolds • Psalm 90:12, Luke 7:31–32, Philippians 2:3–8, Luke 9:51

In this message we reflect on the connection between living well and dying and look at four biblical principles that help us do both.

Christianity, Depression, & Suicide

May 19, 2024 • Pastor Mark Reynolds • Psalm 13, Job 7:15

Depression and suicide. These are heavy topics, and historically the church has not always been helpful. Most mainline Protestant denominations have changed their position on these topics in conversation with modern medicine to provide compassionate and holistic support. In this message, we explore how these changes offer hope to people who suffer with depression or who have lost loved ones to suicide.
