In this sermon, Ian Faith addresses the reality of death, acknowledging the fear, grief, and anxiety it brings, especially when loved ones pass. Using Psalm 34:18 and Psalm 23:4, he reminds listeners that God is close to the brokenhearted and provides comfort even in the valley of the shadow of death. He encourages believers to understand life’s brevity, framed by Scripture like James 4:14 and Ecclesiastes 3:1–2, which call us to recognize the seasons of life and death and to live with purpose.

Faith then explores the nature of life, creation, and salvation, noting that while God grants life to all, the gift of eternal life comes through Christ (John 14:6, John 3:16 ). He wrestles with difficult questions about violence and death in the Old Testament, the fate of those who have not heard the gospel, and the justice and mercy of God, pointing listeners to Scripture like Romans 10:13 –14 and Revelation 7:9–10.

He emphasizes that mourning is natural and healthy, showing that even Jesus wept at Lazarus’s death (John 11:35 ) and encouraging believers to grieve with hope and faith in God’s promises. The sermon brings hope and comfort through the promise of resurrection and eternal life. By reflecting on personal stories, like the passing of his mother and the scripture Isaiah 49:16 .

Listeners are reminded that God remembers and cherishes every life. The call to live fully (John 10:10 ), love God and others (Matthew 22:36 –40), and trust God’s eternal plan offers peace amidst grief, assuring believers that death is not the end, but a doorway to a greater story where God will wipe away every tear (Revelation 21:4).
