"Consolation in Life and Death, Derived from the Life of Christ" by J. Church is a sermon from 1824 that explores faith, death, and the connection between believers and Christ. It is a reflection on Christian teachings that aims to give hope when facing death. The sermon uses the death of Mrs. Turner as an example to discuss life, death, and the promises of Christ. J. Church highlights the comfort found in Christ's promise of everlasting life, drawing from the Bible, "Because I live, ye shall live also".

Summary
About the Author
John Church was an Independent minister who was most famous for his involvement in the homosexual scandal of the Vere Street Coterie. He is claimed by some as the first openly ‘gay’ ordained Christian minister in England. Contemporary rumours about this are unproveable one way or the other, though circumstantial evidence may suggest that his "inordinate affections which led me into error" could be referring to homosexuality.
