“Paraphrase: "the bible says we may live for 80 years" (a reference to the lifespan statement in Psalm 90:10).”
A Memorial Day Sunday message urging disciples to remember and worship God in every season of life. Using Ecclesiastes, Deuteronomy, Luke, and Psalm 103, the speaker contrasts wilderness seasons that draw us to God with seasons of prosperity that can produce spiritual amnesia. Practical application centers on gratitude, confessing sin, faithful dependence in hardship, generosity for missions, and pursuing God rather than merely his benefits. A personal testimony about mental-health struggles, temptation, repentance, and baptism illustrates the sermon’s call to rely on the cross as the true 'way out.'
“Because the days of four years are three square years and ten. If you calculate that, you will get 70.”
A homegoing service for Brother Patrick G. Rose honoring his life, testimonies, and recent Christian commitment. Speakers and family recounted his biography and struggles with illness, while the sermon emphasized mortality, the hope of resurrection, salvation through Jesus Christ, prayerful comfort, and an invitation to accept Christ.
