Breaking the Grip of the Grave (1 of 4)

It's a subject that we don't like to talk about. We don't want to think about it but we are reminded of it quite often. That subject is death.

But one of life's greatest deceptions started in the Garden of Eden when Satan said, "You will not surely die". Millions of people live as if this lie were true. They store up riches as if they would never leave them. The Bible says "for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also".

But sin has brought the prospect of death to us all. It does not matter who you are. Graves await the rich and the poor. We each have an appointment with the grave.

Hebrews 9:27 (MSG): "Everyone has to die once, then face the consequences."

How do we prepare for that coming day? Over the next several days, I'll share how NOT to prepare and the only way you can prepare.

Zion Church Family...Today is July 27, 2009 and I would like to share the blessing that I have received from your church.
