Many of us are familiar with the Bible verse John 3:16, in which Jesus promised us everlasting life. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." We are sure that God loved the world. We are sure that God gave His only Son to die for our sins. We are sure that all should believe. But what about everlasting life? What is that? Please allow me to suggest three answers to that question.
This sermon examines the death of Jacob and the subsequent burial arrangements orchestrated by Joseph, using the narrative to explore how believers should face mortality. It contrasts modern attitudes of death denial or casual acceptance with the biblical view that death is a separation of body and soul, yet one that is ultimately defeated by the promise of resurrection. The text highlights Joseph's faithful obedience to his father's dying wish and his respectful care for Jacob's remains, illustrating a life lived in covenant faithfulness. The preacher connects the funeral procession and the journey to Canaan with the future Exodus, pointing forward to the spiritual deliverance found in Christ. Ultimately, the message affirms that while death is a reality, the believer looks beyond it to the certainty of eternal life and the fulfillment of God's promises.

Roll Eugene McEndollar, 84, passed into the presence of his Savior on September 11, 2026. He was born in Peoria, Illinois on March 12, 1942, and shortly thereafter was adopted by Willard E. and Blanch L. (Irey) McEndollar. Roll graduated from Woodruff High School in Peoria, Illinois in 1960 and completed a diploma program at Midstate College of Commerce in 1964 in the same city. He received a Bachelor of Science degree from Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina in 1973 and a Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of South Carolina in Columbia, South Carolina in 1976. He served in the US Army Reserves from 1963 to 1969 and was honorably discharged. Roll taught at Bob Jones Academy from 1973 until 1989. He worked for several Greenville area businesses after that, retiring from Garner's Natural Market & Café. Roll was known as an artist, particularly for his calligraphy. For many years he personally designed and silkscreened Christmas cards that he sent to his friends. Those cards are still treasured by many.

This message was for Mr. Jorge Vencel's graveside service today at Mount Hope Cemetery in San Diego per request of his wife Carmen and daughter Sandra, whom Pastor Grant worked with ministering to Jorge and them during their time with Apreva Hopsice which Pastor Grant works for as a FT Chaplain. The message reflected the Bible verse Mr. Vencel kept saying to Mrs. Vencel preparing to go to heaven, Philippians 1:21: "To live is Christ, to Die is gain." While it is better for a Christian's fellow saints to stay and live and serve them, it is far better for that Christian to die and live with Christ. It is normal for a Christian to desire to die on earth and live with Jesus in heaven. The poem quoted at the beginning (learned of through Apreva Hospice (BHS) training): I Am Standing Upon The Seashore. I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side, spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone" Gone where? Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast, hull and spar as she was when she left my side. And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me -- not in her. And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone," there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!" And that is dying...

Jesus demonstrates His power and compassion by raising the widow's son from the dead.
Memorials Service - David Wise This sermon addresses the reality of death by directing believers' focus away from the grave and toward Jesus Christ reigning in glory. Drawing primarily from 2 Peter 1:16-18, the message emphasizes that Christian hope rests not on sentimental memories or human merit, but on the factual truth of Christ's majesty and the Father's pleasure in Him. The preacher explains that because God is well pleased with His Son, those who trust in Christ are accepted and their lives are securely hidden with Him in God. This theological foundation provides genuine comfort against despair, assuring believers that death is not a final end but an arrival into eternal life. Ultimately, the text calls the audience to look upward to the Savior for strength, courage, and assurance in the face of mortality.
Elijah was supernaturally ushered into heaven without seeing death. No funeral, no graveside service, no eulogy - apart from a few words spoken of him many centuries later. If someone eulogized Elijah's life, what would be said? When someone eulogizes your life, what will be said?
Funeral service for Donnan Faucette, a charter member of Beacon Baptist Church.
Opening by Lowell Bowman. Message by Rodney Sprenkel.
The story is told about a preacher who was asked to preach the funeral for a stranger in the country. He agreed to do so but got lost on the way. As he was driving along a country road, he saw what appeared to be the workmen shoveling the final clods of dirt onto the man's grave. Not knowing what else to do, the preacher stopped his car and walked toward the men. He apologized to the workmen for being late, but kept his promise to preach the funeral, nonetheless. He read the Bible, preached his sermon, and finally prayed. Then, after shaking hands with the workmen, he got into his car and drove away. The workmen watched as the preacher's car disappeared over the top of the hill. Then one said to the other. "I've been to a lot of funerals in my day. But that's the first funeral service I've ever heard preached for the burial of a septic tank." While we can smile about that preacher's mistake, funerals are usually very difficult for the family. The loss of a loved one is often accompanied by lots of tears because of the good memories of the person who has died. We often say that the only good part of a funeral is being able to see friends and relatives whom we haven't seen for a long time. In our passage today, we will see that a close friend of Jesus got sick and eventually died. By the time Jesus and His disciples arrived, the man had been buried for four days. But the family was still grieving the loss. What would Jesus do to comfort the family?

Luke 7 tells the story of Jesus meeting a funeral procession outside the town of Nain. A widow has lost her only son, and the whole town is caught up in mourning. But Jesus sees her, has compassion on her, speaks to her sorrow, touches the bier, and commands the dead young man to arise. The funeral becomes a celebration because Jesus, the Lord of life, has gotten in the way. This sermon reminds us that Jesus sees the grieving, raises the spiritually dead, and turns religious obligation into joyful worship and witness.

The sermon explores the Christian hope of heaven and resurrection, using the recent passing of a believer as a pastoral example of victory over death. It emphasizes that heaven is not merely a consolation prize but the ultimate reality of enjoying God's presence in perfect holiness and glory.

It clarifies that entry into this blessed state requires faith in Jesus alone, as He conquered sin and death through His sacrifice. The preacher urges listeners to trust in Christ for salvation, assuring them that believers are currently with Him and will eventually share in His resurrected life.

This sermon reflects on the life and death of Terry Hart, using his passing to confront the universal fear and meaninglessness associated with mortality. It contrasts King Solomon's despair in Ecclesiastes with King David's confidence in Psalm 103 regarding God's enduring steadfast love. The preacher emphasizes that while earthly achievements are fleeting, eternal life through Jesus Christ offers a hope that transcends death and suffering. A personal account of visiting Terry in the hospital illustrates how God can remove distractions to reveal spiritual realities and comfort even those who may not have been religious. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to rest in the assurance that nothing can separate them from the love of God in Christ Jesus.
