Description:

Sermon start time: (Part 1) 1:25. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 21:00.
Does one have the right to end one’s life? The preacher argues that God owns our lives. He believes it is the mentality of unlimited freedom, fear of dependency, and consumeristic value of human life that make people feel life is not worth living if they are terminally ill and become dependent on others. He disapproves of the idea of suicides and believes care at people’s end of life can bear witness to community and love. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
