Watch the inspiring sermon he reportedly preached before his unexpected death.

He preached from Romans 8:28-29:

Romans 8:28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
