The Big Question: What's Next?

I spent a chunk of this week comforting a woman whose mother died.

She knew her mom's time was drawing to a close; and had known it for months.

A hospice was overseeing her mom's care. You don't get that unless the medical professionals think you have less than 6 months left.

She died quietly, at peace, at home, last Sunday morning.

As funeral plans shaped up, the one big concern has focused on answering questions from the grand kids.

Two boys, ages 10 and 14.

Interestingly, they are the same questions a lot of us have.

Is grandma just floating around up in space?

Is she still hurting?

Will we ever see her again?

How will we recognize her?

Will she know us?

We could make up stuff to try to comfort folks, but it turns out that God has given us His thoughts on the subject.

So, we're going with His thoughts, incorporating them into this week's message--part of our series on answering key questions that people who don't follow Christ ask about Christianity.

Death is something we're all gonna face, sadly. But maybe it doesn't have to be that sad.

Maybe we can look to going through this thing we'd rather not with a little hope. a little confidence.

It is what we're going to talk about this Sunday, at 11:00am at our 1988 Kirby Road, McLean location.

Why not drop on in? We're dying to meet you.
