In this powerful message, Dr. Roger Patterson continues our series on heaven by diving into Philippians 1:21-26. Addressing a culture deeply rooted in the denial of death, Dr. Patterson challenges us to ask ourselves an essential question: "For me to live is _______?" Drawing from the life of the Apostle Paul—who wrote to the Philippians while facing suffering and imprisonment—we see how settling the question of death completely frees us to live a life of purpose and sacrifice for others. When our faith is secured in Christ, death is no longer a loss, but an incomparable, vast profit.
