Death - The Better Story Part 14 - Ben Thomas

Preached on

March 5, 2024

Death has become taboo in society, and yet it’s so important we talk about it as death is a significant part of life—both grieving the loss of others as well as facing our own end. Is death something to fear, or is there something more beyond the grave? Ben addresses these issues and shares how we grieve, but as those with hope. Ben is a speaker at the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics and a part-time medical doctor, working as a consultant in Intensive Care Medicine.
