Grief

Series: Leftovers

Grief

August 12, 2022 | Rev. Dr. Chris J. Hayes

Passage: John 11:1-44

We often do not want to deal with grief. It is painful and difficult, yet if we allow ourselves the grace that God offers us, we can find great love and peace through grief. Although, like a leftover, we wouldn’t want to eat it all the time, allowing grief to be a part of life is healthy and good.

Series Information

There are so many things in life that we dispose of or wish we could get rid of, that God can use in amazing new ways. What would it look like if we recycled all of life’s experiences and gifts and used them in new ways to experience and share God’s love? God calls us to live a zero-waste lifestyle that uses all that we have and encounter: the good, bad, and ugly, to glorify and honor God. How might we use the things we often toss out to share and experience Christ’s love more fully this summer?
