What Was It That He Said To Me? | Philippians 1:21 | The Funeral of +Steve Masters+

What Was It That He Said To Me? | Philippians 1:21 | The Funeral of Steve Masters When death comes suddenly, grief is sharpened by the questions that linger: What would I have said? How would I have thanked him? What conversations will never happen now? But Scripture promises that even in the shock of loss, God's people are not left without comfort—or without a word. For the faithful who have gone before us speak louder in their lives than they could in any final goodbye. In this funeral sermon, Pastor Rojas reflects on the life, faith, and final confession of Steve Masters, a man whose active devotion to Christ and His Word revealed a faith that was not merely known but *lived*. Steve's battle with cancer, his unwavering presence in worship, his daily prayers, his deep knowledge of Scripture—all of it pointed to a single conviction: that his real life, his real identity, his real worth was hidden with Christ. When asked how he endured, Steve spoke words that became his sermon to everyone who loved him: "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." This is a message about sudden death, unfinished conversations, the Gospel at work in a human life, and the privilege of witnessing a Christian who truly understood what it meant to belong entirely to Jesus. It is a sermon about grief, faith, and the comfort that does not change—because the Christ Steve confessed is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

When’s The Best Time To Praise God? | Psalm 138 | Trinity 4

When's the Best Time To Praise God? | Christ For You Psalm 138 When is it okay to pray out loud at work? When should you speak up about what's true? When can you confess Christ without being ashamed? We've learned the answer: later. In church. In private. When it's safe. When everyone agrees. But what if you're waiting for a moment that never comes? David didn't wait. Surrounded by false gods, he praised the true God anyway. In the midst of trouble, he gave thanks. Not because circumstances improved. Because he knew something about God's character. So here's the question that haunts every Christian: Can you really praise God in every place and at every time? When you're surrounded by people who don't believe? When you're still suffering? When nothing has changed? When you're afraid? And more deeply: Does God still regard you if you've been silent? If you've compromised? If you've hidden your faith? What does the cross of Christ actually make possible for sinners like us? This sermon answers these questions. It shows why David's boldness wasn't arrogance—it was humility. Why Christ sang before His death. And why the right time to praise God is now. The right place is everywhere. Because in Christ, you belong to the Father. And He regards you.
