In addition, it is the act of creating resentment, hurt feelings, and displeasure. The Greek word for ...read more

    Our Seasons Of Grief

    Contributed by Ryan Sato on Dec 12, 2004
    based on 38 ratings
     | 11,688 views

    Here we try to understand how David coped with the loss of his best friend Jonathan. Through David’s reactions we are challenged to embrace our seasons of grief in ways that would show that we are relying on God rather than relying on ourselves.

With last week’s teaching on fear, and this week’s text focussed on the theme of grief it seems like we’re wading through some heavy waters aren’t we? But this is good for us. Because I firmly believe that we (as followers ...read more

    We all fail. How should a "failure" be treated when he comes within the refuge of your Church? How does God greet us? He doesn’t condemn us. He doesn’t forget us. He doesn’t forsake us. And he will never stop loving us!
