Celebrating The Life of Deacon Geneva Lewis

Main message: Deacon Geneva Lewis’s life and death are "precious in the sight of the Lord"; her faithful, graceful example calls Christians to live better—valued by God in life and even in death—and to aim for the "well done" of a faithful servant.

Key points:

• The pastor centered on Psalm 116:15 ("Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints") and explained "precious" as value: God esteems and is engaged with his people even in death.
• Geneva Lewis’s life—marked by prayer, service, kindness, dignity, and faithful church ministry—serves as a model to emulate.
• The call to mourn with purpose: let examples like hers motivate us to live better, treat others well, and pursue holiness.
• The ultimate hope is resurrection and hearing God's commendation ("Well done, thou good and faithful servant").

Scriptures mentioned: Psalm 23, Psalm 27, John 14, Psalm 116:15, Proverbs 31:26
