Leave Part 1

Aug 11, 2025    Pete Pawelek

Let’s be honest—talking about leaving isn’t usually enjoyable.


Sure, leaving for a long weekend, a cruise, or a vacation can be exciting. But most of the time, leaving is a difficult topic. It brings fear, anxiety, and the sobering reality that change is inevitable.


Today, we’re focusing on the most profound example of that reality: the moment we all must face one day—unless, in His divine will, God sends Jesus back soon. We’re talking about the day we transition from earth to eternity. The day we leave this world and step into the next.


Pastor Pete’s prayer is that today’s message will be both enlightening and encouraging. The goal is simple: to preach the truth. To speak plainly and clearly, sharing what God has revealed about this important subject.


Scripture has much to say about death—and its certainty for each of us. So listen closely, and let God’s Word bring clarity, peace, and hope.
