Below is a typical order of service:\n1. Music\n2. Scripture reading (usually one appropriate passage)\n4. Prayer\n5. Obituary\n(Often an obituary is available so that the minister can give opening remarks concerning the person's life--date born, marriage, children, etc. Often times when visiting with the relative or mate before the funeral certain highlights concerning the person are mentioned, and these too can be included as comfort to the listeners.)\n6. Message\n7. Prayer\n8. Music\nFUNERAL MESSAGE:\nOne outline for the message is to begin with remarks about God's mercy, and how He considers His people (members) as His friends, and then move on to the purpose of God, including the resurrection.\n1)  God's mercy\nJohn 12:47\nPs. 145:8-9\nMicah 7:18\nMatt. 10:29\n2) Jesus' concern for His friends\nJohn 11 Martha, Mary, Lazarus, and the resurrection\n3) God's purpose\nJohn 3:3  born again\nI Cor. 15:49-50\nI John 3:1\nPhil. 3:20\nI Thess. 4:13-18\nThis is the basic outline, and can be adjusted. If the deceased was a Christian, the above can be approached from the context that this is the understanding upon which the person based his hope for the future. If the deceased was not a believer, the listeners may be reached with words about God's plan and care for mankind.","cbCaicSVkmvpCO5v","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicSVkmvpCO5v","docx",28160,"English","# Order of Service\n## Funeral Message","[{\"question\":\"What are the typical parts of the funeral order of service?\",\"answer\":\"The typical flow includes music, scripture reading, prayer, obituary, message, another prayer, and music.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the funeral message be structured?\",\"answer\":\"Begin with remarks about God’s mercy, then move to Jesus’ concern for His friends, and conclude with God’s purpose, including resurrection.\"},{\"question\":\"How can the message be adjusted depending on the deceased’s faith?\",\"answer\":\"If the deceased was a Christian, approach the outline as the person’s hope for the future; if not, focus on God’s plan and care for mankind.\"}]","Funeral - Order of Service | DOCX"]
