A Christian Service Of Memorial

Gracious lord thanks you for you sacrifice, we are so undeserving, I realize that I’ll will never be worthy of your many blessings, or for the blood shed on the hill called Golgotha where my savior made away for me to live better by giving me away to stand after the enemy has causes me to fall. Thank you for the mind to serve you whole heartedly, without your holy ghost sustaining power we couldn’t do it. without you we are nothing without you and the giving of the sacrificial lamb what would our lives be, lord I don’t want to ever find out. We have the victory through your son and that’s enough for

Jesus' death was an act of love that represents his final testimony to his trust in the faithful and loving God he proclaimed as his father.

For 17 years God has blessed me to serve alongside my husband as directors of Chi Alpha at the University of Texas at Arlington. During my time here, I have served and mentored hundreds of young women and internationals who now fulfill the mission of Chi Alpha in the marketplace and the world as pastors, missionaries, police officers, nurses, teachers, and social workers. I am especially thankful to walk with those students who came to faith, experienced discipleship, and the Holy Spirit empowered their lives through the ministry.

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”

Jesus demonstrates that the true meaning of sacrifice is love. Therefore, Christ’s cause is the freedom of mankind, and He was prepared to enter a dark world, heal the sick, and even be crucified for His

On the 10th of August, I received a telephone call from Doris, telling me that we needed to meet at mom’s house for prayer. A friend, who was like a sister, was going through some things and she needed a word from the Lord. Linda would always say that we needed some faith-believing saints around who knew God

We are gathered here today to celebrate the life of Katie Alecia Eaton. It has been a rough time since my wife got in the car accident and went it I a coma and never woke up, but it is settling to know that she is in heaven with God. Katie may have passed away, but we are not here to talk about how sad and upset we all are that she is gone. She would have wanted us to remember the good times we all shared with her. I remember she always used to say to her kids “ If you don't enjoy life you can't feel regret about the things you don't do.” Now time to talk about her life…

They had now found out that she has cancer again since one tiny cell didn’t get killed. This cancer cell has been growing through all the years and it has become worse, it was now a stage 4 cancer, the highest stage, and has now moved into her bones. She still stands strong today and she says that she made it through all the pain and feeling hopeless through God. A miracle have happened so far from 2013 to 2015 she has gotten better and is out of the hospital. She is back to her normal daily routine and enjoying life as much as she can. “I don’t plan on leaving soon, I just need to get ready for when god calls me home “. She will never give up this life and stop fighting even though every single thing, when it turns

God is whispering over the earth, awake and rise children the time has come to stand up in my glory and proclaim the gospel.

“And through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him,”

In the last week, a church member’s father died at the age of 90 after he was in a nursing home for three years. The church member had to go to Wisconsin but his wife could not go with him because of various reasons so his wife wanted to have memorial service (Choo Do) in their house after Sunday service. There a question brought up about memorial service for the ancestor and bowing down during the ceremony (Je Sa). In Korean context, respecting ancestor is very important and it is not easy to overlook the important traditional family rules if there are non-believers among family and relatives. Even some Christian use different name for one-year memorial service as appreciation service instead of Choo Do (grief) or Choo Mo (thinking) service. They almost mean the same even though they use different vocabulary to avoid any resistance from Christian perspective. Anyway, my church congregation wanted to have the memorial service after a few days of funeral service.

Jesus Christ, God incarnate came to earth to save everyone from eternal damnation in hell. As humans, with Adam and Eve as our representatives in the Garden of Eden, they broke God’s one commandment, therefore allowing sin to come into the world. Because of this fall, we all deserve damnation, and because of the sin nature inside of us, everyone deserves to die and be eternally punished. However, because of the loving and gracious nature of God, He sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to be our representative for sin. When he took the cross, not only did he bear the physical pain of the lashes, the dehydration, and the cross itself, but he also drank God’s cup of wrath for us. Everyone on earth deserves to be on that cross, but Jesus, through his great love for us, paid the ultimate price of his own life to save us.

The funeral ritual is a public tradition that is symbolic to all cultures. It expressing our beliefs, thoughts and feelings about both our religion and the deceased. It helps to recognise the deceased for who they were and it reinforces the reality of a loved one's death. All take comfort from it and value it's importance to the grieving process. The Catholic funeral rite is split into several different stations.

Jesus had to carry his own cross, that probably weighed two times his size, all the way up to wear the crucifixion was going to take place. Already beaten and bloody, they lay him down onto the cross shaped piece of wood and begin by nailing his hands and feet into it and standing the cross up into the air. What a brutal sight it must have been for God to see his only son tortured like this, but the good news is that he knew what his plan was for Jesus and for his people and he knew what was going to happen after all this was over. Jesus died hanging from that cross, washing all of our sin away and paying the ultimate sacrifice. After he died he was wrapped in a white cloth and placed into a tomb with a boulder sealing the door to the outside world. Three days after being placed in there, the people went to check up on the tomb to find that the boulder was pushed aside and the white cloth was folded neatly where Jesus was laying. The son of God, the Messiah, rose again from the dead to fulfill his mission so that we may have everlasting life in God’s kingdom. God’s plan for our life and through Jesus he teaches us that if we follow in God’s word and make him our most prized possession and ask for him to be in our hearts that we may to “escape the penalty that God will execute upon all who have broken His

There is very exciting news in the world at this time, Jesus, the Son of God, has risen and he is here to do many more things for humanity. Our savior has defeated death and with his victory has saved even more men than before. There is a true feeling in the air these days and it is one of gratitude, for we shall all be thankful that he has come back to life to finish his work on earth. Christ will continue to do countless things in the lives of people and his message is extremely powerful even today, and will forever be the saving grace that allows people to enter the Kingdom of God and rest in eternal life.
