Sermon Series: Good Grief
Experiencing loss is one of the hardest things people face. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, the loss of a dream you once had; the result can be a time of extended grief. Sometimes as Christians we may be tempted to think that we shouldn’t grieve. Or at least, it should be brief. But over the next four weeks we’ll look together at God’s teaching in scripture that helps us to understand that grieving can be good for our soul. Good Grief brings healing. Guided by scripture and the work the work of Kenneth C. Haugk, the founder of Stephen Ministries, we will face our grief and embrace the healing that comes from Jesus.
February 20 – Finding Hope and Healing
The grief never goes away, but the intensity of the pain will change. There is hope and healing on the other side of loss. And the good news is that there are practices we can do to point our souls to the source of the healing. Other have walked this journey before and have left signposts to guide our way.
Isaiah 54:10
10 For the mountains may depart
and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
