Genesis 23 | The Grave and the Promise

Why does death feel so wrong—even when we know it’s inevitable? In this powerful sermon from Genesis 23, we explore the deep and ancient tension between death and hope. From Homer’s Iliad to the promises of Scripture, humanity has always asked: Is this life all there is? Join us as we look at the death of Sarah, the wife of Abraham, and uncover how this moment is far more than tragic—it's filled with profound hope in the resurrection. Abraham’s choice to bury his wife in the Promised Land is not just a cultural act; it’s a bold declaration of faith in God’s future promises and the bodily resurrection of the dead.
