     | 5,610 views

    In this last sermon of the series on grief and lament, we explore and engage in how to live with lament. How to employ it with cases of overwhelming grief, and with cases of everyday, minor grief. The sermon ends with two examples of lament prayers.

    A. Back in May, during our series about hope, I opened a sermon with a story that I want to use again today as our launching point. 1. One afternoon, a man came home from work to find two young girls from the neighborhood on the steps of his building. 2. Both girls were crying very loudly, and ...read more

    Mourning Lessons

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 11, 2023
     | 934 views

    It is right to mourn out loud when something that is precious is lost or destroyed.

    This is a really depressing passage, isn’t it, especially the first part. You can certainly see why this book of the Bible was called Lamentations. It was written by Jeremiah after the fall of Jerusalem. Our hearts really have to go out to him, don’t they? He spent forty years, his entire adult ...read more

    Bread, Water And Rest

    Contributed by Steve Anderson on Dec 18, 2014
     | 5,959 views

    Funeral sermon for a 16-year old who took his life by suicide at 3 AM by gunshot. It is based on what God provided Elijah when he wanted to die. Its intent is to offer the equivalent of bread, water and rest to the grieving, especially peers and family.

    Background (1 Kings 18): 450 idol prophets; 2 altars, 1 fire; Elijah stood up to 450 prophets of Baal but ran for his life when one woman threatened him (1 Kings 19:3-8). Elijah wanted to die, he had poured out his life for God and felt it had no impact. He was tired and in despair, depressed. ...read more

     | 302 views

    God is teaching us that it doesn’t have to be an occasion for fear and desperation but, rather, can be a time to lean into God and pour out our grief out to Him.

    We are in our From Dust to Life series in the book of Genesis and last week in chapter 29 we saw how Jacob worked for his uncle Laban for seven years as a dowry payment for his daughter Rachel, the woman he loved. Laban agreed to this but did the bait and switch and gave Jacob his older daughter ...read more

    Psalm 13, for instance, presents the prayer of a man in deep depression. I’ll bet that most, if not all of us are depressed from time-to-time. Today, we know that depression may be the result of many different factors.

    loss of a loved one

    A gravestone in a churchyard bears these words: ‘The cup was bitter, the sting severe To part from her we loved so dear. Our loss is great we’ll not complain But hope in heaven to meet again. Not gone from memory not gone from love But gone to her Father’s home above.’ For some of us the loss of a ...read more

    Paul expressed his grief over the fact that most of the Jews were alienated from God. He wished himself “accursed” (Gk. anathema) and that he would be destroyed in place of his countrymen.
