Life in Christ

Aug 16, 2026    Pastor Anthony J Shetley

In “Life in Christ,” we look at the great difference Jesus makes in both life and death. Sin brings destruction, and death brings painful separation—but neither has the final word for those who are in Christ.


When we grieve the loss of someone we love who is in Christ, our sorrow is accompanied by a hope that reaches beyond the grave. Scripture reminds us that “to live is Christ and to die is gain.” For the believer, death is not the end. There is coming a day when death, sorrow, crying, and pain will be no more, and we will forever be with the Lord.


This message reminds us to live with purpose today, to hold firmly to our hope in Christ, and to look forward to the promise of eternal life with Him.
