250,000 people die in the UK each year, and almost half will have a
Christian funeral service. Preaching at a funeral is a vital part
of pastoral ministry, but too often funeral sermons consist of
generalities and platitudes used for multiple services rather than
illuminating the hope gifted to us by the resurrection. In There is
Hope veteran pastor Paul Beasley-Murray offers practical advice to
help Christian leaders craft meaningful, biblically driven sermons
and preach with confidence and compassion at funeral services.
Drawing on his years of experience, he offers a sensitive,
pastorally rich exposition of twenty key Bible passages, exploring
how preachers can draw on them to show the hope beyond death that
the Gospel offers. Alongside are funeral sermon examples that he
has preached himself, as well as ideas, outlines and guidance for
writing your own. There is Hope is the perfect book for ordinands
and preachers who are new to giving funeral sermons, as well as for
experienced preachers and pastors wanting to improve and grow in
their pastoral ministry and are looking for new ideas for funeral
sermons. Full of biblical depth, this guide will equip priests and
pastors with all the tools they need to deliver comforting funeral
sermons that truly deliver the message that even in death, in the
Gospel there is hope.
Paul Beasley-Murray, one of the most respected Christian ministers
of the last fifty years, offers fifty succinct reflections on all
aspects of ministry, including pastoring, preaching, evangelism,
prayer, growth, worship, family, personal care and relationships.
This is essential, foundational reading for clergy of all
denominations and of all levels of experience.
The message of the Resurrection, believes Paul Beasley-Murray, is
not just for Easter. It lies at the heart of the gospel and of the
New Testament. It is good news for every day of the year. This
accessible and practical exposition takes us back to the firsthand,
vivid accounts of the key witnesses who saw the risen and very
tangible Jesus: Matthew, Mark Luke, John, Paul, Peter and others.
We are brought afresh to the distinctive records that together
provide a full-orbed picture of the dramatic days following
Christ's resurrection. We see the true meaning of this event, which
changed human history for ever.
