2 Corinthians 5:1–10 ESV

1 For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, 3 if indeed by putting it on we may not be found naked. 4 For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5 He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. 6 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.

Scripture Reading

Psalm 23 ESV

A Psalm of David. 1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

During this time I want to speak just for a moment on Frank Sills. Frank Sills was alot of things to alot of people. He was a Son. He loved mother Clarice very much all the sons loved their mother, they took great care late in life, providing her needs, visiting her.

He was a Father. I had the privilege of having frank as a Dad. I know him and he faults, but will only speak of what I loved about him being my dad, and what my brothers and sister know as being their day to the best of my abilities.

Dad was fun to be around he loved to take his kids places when he could whether that was the beach, snow skiing, disney world, places to eat he was always ready to have fun with us.

He was a huge sports fan. He loved his teams and I love my teams because of him he loved the Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, and Oklahoma Sooners.

I remember the many games we went to growing up, and all the close calls for his teams, and my teams to win it all. This year the Rangers won the world after being a fan my whole life i

Message Luke Sills

2 Corinthians 4:16–18 ESV

16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

Benediction

Jude 24–25 ESV

24 Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, 25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
