    April 19: The Church Helps us With Dying
    Apr 20 2026

    This is the first sermon in my series on Mixtape Church: The Church Helps us Deal with Dying.


    The Notes:

    The Scripture: First Thessalonians 4:13-18

    The Song: Emily Scott Robinson "Overalls"


    John Wesley is influenced by Jeremy Taylor's The Rules and Exercises for Holy Living and Holy Dying


    Helpful here are John Wesley's Sermons, including Sermon 58 "On Predistination" §10, Sermon 120 (127 in modern editions) "On the Wedding Garment" §6For my interpretation of Paul's writing, I rely heavily on Beverly Roberts Gaventa


    Theological Considerations from: Jean-Luc Nancy Dis-Enclosure: The Deconstruction of Christianity I, Jean Luc Nancy: Adoration: The Deconstruction of Christianity II. and Jacques Derrida, The Gift of Death
