Life & Death
The God of the Living
July 31, 2021 • David Asscherick
In our third and final part the Life and Death series we see that the line that separates the living from the dead is blurrier than it at first appears. Incredibly, according to Scripture, there are those that are alive and yet are already dead; too, there are those that appear to be dead, but whom God regards as quite alive! A little confused? Watch this concluding sermon and you won’t be.
There Is Laid up for Me a Crown
July 24, 2021 • David Asscherick
In this second installment of our three-part Life and Death series we turn our attention to the resurrection. We take a look at what the gospel is and how it reverses the twin problems of sin and death. Once again, our title is taken from Paul’s words to young Timothy: “There is laid up for me the crown of righteousness.”
I Am Ready to be Poured Out
July 17, 2021 • David Asscherick
In this new three-part series we take a look at the biblical perspective of life and, especially, death. Part one addresses the looming reality that is death. Coming face to face with our own mortality can be disorienting. The apostle Paul wrote to his young friend and student Timothy: "I am ready to be poured out like a drink offering" and "my time is at hand." In this first presentation we use this passage from 2Timothy 4 to begin our exploration of death from a biblical perspective.
