The Other Side of Death
Jerry Vines
Luke 16:19-31
Wednesday night at 8:19, TWA flight 800 took off from JFK International Airport on a flight for Paris. At 8:48 it fell off the radar screen and plunged in a ball of fire into the Atlantic Ocean. 230 passengers on that plane perished. Where are they now?

Sixteen students from a high school in Pennsylvania, members of a French Club, many were going on their first international journey. They got on the plane and in a matter of moments they moved from time into eternity. Where are they now?

There are some things that are important to some people at some moments in time that are not important to other people. But there are some issues that are of universal importance to all people everywhere. In fact, there are three of these im ...
