James 4:13-15
Chesterfield County is mourning the loss of a young man by the name of Tyler Patnaude. Our hearts go out to the families and friends of this young man. It is my understanding that he had attended a few Encounter Youth meetings, so we know he heard the Gospel and it is the good news that Jesus came to save us.

Death has been defeated and therefore those that have put their faith in Christ defeat death. WE DEFY DEATH. The DEATH SENTENCE is no longer looming over us. The price and been paid and the penalty has been lifted! O Death where is your sting!, O Grave where is your vic ...
