Title:
William H. Willimon - "God, the Thief" (November 17, 1996)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 3:10. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 20:27.

  • Though death often comes unexpectedly, the preacher argues that it is one of the most surest things in life, because everyone dies. He compares the unexpected nature of death to the unexpected nature of the second coming of God, described in scripture as a visit from a thief. The preacher emphasizes the urgency of receiving the gospel in the present. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
