How to Benefit from a Funeral, by Dr. David P. Murray
The Text for this sermon is Ecclesiastes 7:2,3 (Audio):
"It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better."
Lies Told at Funerals, by Rev. Roger Higginson
Here is the words of Ezekiel 33:7 & 8:
"So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand."
