NEW TERRITORY

Interesting day today. I taught on something I have never touched before in over 40 years of preaching and it wasn't anything that was going to send everyone home jumping for joy. As part of our marriage series, I spoke about When Death Us Do Part, looking at how to cope with the death of a spouse.

I have come to the conclusion that few Christians have any Biblical concept of death. It is hardly ever spoken about and is frequently looked upon as a defeat.

So we broke the taboo this morning and apparently while no one walked out floating on air, the material was very well received.

I hope it helped those who have faced bereavement recently, prepared us all for something we may well face down the road and given us all some good stuff so we can better support others in their time of grief.
