Grieving Loss and Pain

Dec 14, 2014    Pastor Adam James

There is something remarkable, distinct, and powerful about Christian grief. But many of us don’t know how to grieve or how to come alongside those who are suffering. The truth is we can only offer others the comfort that we ourselves have received. If we have not adequately grieved or honestly faced the weight of our own pain and losses with the Lord & others, then when it comes to entering in to the dark hour with a brother or sister, we will not be able to walk very far down the narrow hallway of sorrow & grief before our own discomfort forces us back to the shallow end of life. And the reality is at that point, we’re simply not much help. In this sermon, Pastor Adam equips the church pastorally and practically to both grieve your own pain and losses and to come alongside others who are hurting.
